A conversation I had at work today with a fella in the dining room:
Him: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure.
Him: If Jesus were to ask you to marry Him, would you say yes?
Me: How about if I cross that bridge when I come to it?
"Whatever thoughts we have about God, who He is or even if God exists, most will agree--that God has a special place for the poor. The poor are where God lives. God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is where the opportunity is lost and lives are shattered. God is with the mother who has infected her child with a virus that will take both their lives. God is under the rubble, in the cries we hear during wartime. God, my friends, is with the poor, and God is with us if we are with them.

Heeee!
I'm trying to work out what I would have said (not having an RC cultural context.) I believe I would either have answered "Yes" or "He already did and I already said yes."
Dude!
As I read it, I actually HEARD your voice saying it!
Weird.
