planning on my part the men's dorm, I figured I was safe. I planned to avoid all contact with the opposite sex as long as possible.
• But just as we pulled into the men's dorm parking lot, a young woman exited from the men's dorm. Remembering my prayer, I immediately amended it. "God, this doesn't count. I've not stepped out of the car yet."
• Have you ever noticed that God has a marvelous sense of humor?
• The young woman emerging from the men's dorm defied description. Do you remember when women rolled their hair up in big rollers? Well, this young woman had rolled her hair up in tomato cans! Nothing prepared me for such a sight. She actually looked like some space alien.
• I do not know what she was wearing or even what she looked like. All I could see were those tomato cans on her head. At the time, I did not know much about romance, but I knew this was not it.
• The next few days I did everything to avoid the women's dorm for fear I would run into her. Whenever I did see her, I crossed to the other side of the street. But the more I tried to avoid her, the more I ran into her. Prayer makes strange partners.
• Thinking I was making progress in my plan of avoidance, the inevitable happened.
