1.) I’d been working with the petitioner on a divorce case, trying to get his paperwork straight so that we can process it and get his divorce finalized. He called me today to tell me the missing documentation is on its way to me. That led to a conversation about his current fiance, his ex-wife, paths of life and God. He said, “What I wish for you, Cin, is for you to find someone who loves you like Jesus loves his church, who is willing to die for you, and who will find you too important to stray from to satisfy those selfish, selfish temptations. When you have that, all of life will be beautiful.” Weird, huh? We didn’t talk about my life; mostly about his. My “homework assignment” tonight that he gave me is to read the Book of John in the Bible. I may just do that.

2.) I spoke to a very trusted friend after my noontime workout and found out a few things, namely
– Mr. W’s ex is making stuff up
– her alleged “source” of information doesn’t exist, she’s coming up with stuff and pinning it on a nonexistent person so she looks like the innocent person who just “heard” all these random things; she named a category of people as the source of her information, and I just found out that no one in this category talks to her because none of them like her
– her claim that “everyone’s talking about it,” and how the rumors are all over, are all unfounded; no one’s talking about anything (I figured as much), and she’s the only one blowing this up
– she’s had a history of being extremely competitive with other women; the way she sees it, she should be the darling of all men and feels threatened by me
– my friend said she’s very jealous of me and that I should be flattered

Maybe now is the time to have a little fun and stop being so sensitive to other people who aren’t mature enough to deserve this consideration.
