This isn't profound. This isn't long. This is just a simple thought.
As I waited in line at the college to validate my photo ID, I watched a burly guy and blond girl reconnect after a busy summer, or so it appeared. I was trying not to listen to their conversation, but sometimes that is hard to do when there is nothing else to listen to. They shared about their summers and asked about each others families. Then he asked her, "So, are you married yet?" She smiled and said, "No. Probably not for a while." "Well...any babies yet?" Once again she replied, "No."
My heart dropped as I heard his question. No one should need to ask this when someone's unmarried. This question shouldn't even exist. Unfortunately, for our culture...it does.
