THROW AWAY YOUR LIST (OR JUST REWRITE IT)

Ashley was shipwrecked on the Isle of Singleness. She was stranded there for a long time and was very lonely. She prayed, “God, please send a perfect man to get me off this island.”

Soon, a man in a speedboat came along. He was very kind and dedicated. But he was listening to Celine Dion on the radio.

He said, “Ashley, I have come a very long way to take you off this island.”

She told him, “Thanks for the offer, but God is going to send me the perfect man. And the perfect man cannot be listening to bad diva music.”

Soon, another man came in a rowboat. He was great with children and had a wonderful sense of humor. But he was balding a little bit. He said, “My darling Ashley, I have rowed many hundreds of miles to rescue you off this island.”

She replied, “I appreciate what you have done, but God is going to send me the perfect man to get me off this island. He has to have hair in all the right places. Namely a lot on his head and none on his back. Now why don’t you just take your little bald head and row right back to the mainland.”

Finally, a man came swimming to the shore. He had a huge heart and incredible faith. Breathless, he threw his arms around her and said, “Ashley, you are the woman of my dreams. I swam five hundred miles, and then I swam five hundred more just to be the man to swim a thousand miles and fall down at your door. I also strapped a romantic picnic dinner, your hairdryer, and your favorite chick flicks on my back.”

Ashley replied, “What, no flowers?”

Ashley stayed on the island many years. Finally she shook her fist at the sky: “God, why haven’t you sent me the perfect man to get me off this island?”

He said, “I sent you a potential husband in a speedboat, a potential husband in a rowboat, and a potential husband who swam a thousand miles to fall down at your door.”

“But God,” Ashley replied, “none of those men fit everything on my list!”

God said, “If you ever want to get off of this island, you’re going to have to write a new list.”*
