Take it up with God.

My answer to the question posed by Katherine Osborne in the February Sounding Board--"Does true love have to wait?"--is: "Not only does it have to, but it will."

As a teacher of marriage prep/sex ed to seniors at a Catholic high school, I teach them as much about the issues of marriage, dating, sex, STDs STDS - Submarine Tactical Display System
STDS - System Transition and Deployment Strategy
STDS - Systems Technology Departmental Services, contraception, etc., as time will allow. And I teach it from the Catholic point of view.

A sign on the wall of my classroom says: "You don't like it? Don't argue with me. Take it up with God. Pray." I think Osborne needs to stop arguing with the church and take it up with God. In prayer she would learn what God wants, not just what she wants him to want.
