… and by “people” I mean the four folks I’ve talked to about my last entry. 🙂 I’m all done with cyber-dating. As my friend Emily said just today, “If being matched with your former boss isn’t a sign, I don’t know what would be!” In fact, I think I’ll just quote Emily’s e-mail to me this morning for the rest of this post, because she’s really smart: God is bigger than Christian Mingle… despite…
