The Son of A Preacher Man

We are going to take a momentary break from the dating disasters of Mr. John Pickett to shine the spotlight upon my roomie, Miss E. Snell. She had quite the interesing date last evening.

So, she met this guy on match.com. Seemed like a nice guy, fairly cute, good conversation, and.....a student of divinity. Yes, that's right. A STUDENT OF DIVINITY. Patrick has always predicted that she would end up with a preacher. Could his prediction be coming true!? Erin wasn't sure about the date, but hey, she's down with G.O.D. and so was he. Maybe it would be a good match.

Start humming "the son of a preacher man" NOW.

Well, apparently he was a bit TOO invovled with THE BIG MAN.
For instance....Erin reports that he used the word, "Godly" very frequently throughout the course of the meal. And, when the meal came....he prayed over it. I have nothing against praying, but yo, that's just weird....PRAYING AT YOUR VERY FIRST DATE!
And then came the best part...it unavoidably came up that she lived with me, a gay man. And Mr. Godly strongly feels that one can 'pray away the gay'. In fact, they have programs at his church for just that. Well, clearly Esnell attempted to set him straight by gently sharing her opinions, but considering the fact that his family was very thankful that his sister had broken up with her athiest boyfriend, I doubt he'd change his mind about the homos being hellbound. If only Adam Smith had been present.

So, while nothing was gained by Esnell than a free meal and a funny story, at least she knows that she wasn't all alone on her date with Mr. Divinity, Jesus was with her too.
