The Wait

Wait for the Lord;
Be Strong and let you heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14

It’s not like I have options. It’s not patience when there’s nothing to do but wait. Maybe it is. I don’t know. I have plenty of time to think about it. There really isn’t an alternative. My date is running late. I’m not about to go to the movie by myself. No one does that. So I’ll play Dr. Mario, and wait. Besides, I have no grounds to be impatient. She’s gorgeous and smart. She was the one who made time for me. What were my plans? If I didn’t have the date I’d be playing video games at home. So I’ll wait. She’ll come down eventually, and then we’ll go see Zombieland.
