I have fail but God's grace is enough for me and a short talk to the shirt

I am sitting in the hotel lobby as looking around. There are a couple of females sitting behind the right elevator (as I look at the elevator). I recongize the ladies from Club Havanna, a place where I went yesterday. Above them, in my view of sight, is the Las Vegas casino, which is a small casino that is attached to hotel. As I look, I see the sin tha surrounds the city. I have been told that _______ is one the porn capital's in the world. I have fallen in the as I hang out with the people that do not share the same faith that I do. A problem araise when the Mormon friend sticks to the hotel and does not get out much. He reads for his classes and the Bible and book of mormon and tends not to go out. He has not seen much of the city. I invite him but he does not go so he can save money. So the one problem has been that there are a lot of beautiful women that I often catch myself taking a second look and sometime engaging in lustful talking. In that regard, I have not shown the love of God to the fellow co-workers. On another regard, I have kept myself from getting drink. I have choose to allow only one drink per night that I can slip on for a while.

I need to work on my transitions to continue the story. But while I was doing my daily reading, which at that time I was reading in Luke 7. The first sergeant (shirt) came up to me. She saw that I was reading and asked me what I was reading. I told her the Bible and she was a little astonish. We talk a little about our reading plans. She is doing a New testament reading plan called the 5x5. It is read 5 times a week for five minutes. Basical reading parts of chatpers a day. I also talked about the 3-1-1, which is what I do. I also told her that I am trying to figure out I am going to do in about 18 months or when I get out. But out of the blue, she asked if I was dating anyone. I told her that I was not seeing. She told to pray that God will help me prepare for a wife and that God will provide a wife. I did not tell her that I have prayed and now I am waiting for the Lord to provide. I did example a joke about My friend and his wife-to-be setting me up and the big joke around. Personal, I think it will not work. What did strick me was that she said that God has a wonderful plan for me life. I kinda question it in my mind. I think she meant what the emergent church teaches but I am going to that it that God has a wonderful will that includes my life. It is all about God. Ironicly or maybe a great plan by God, to finish my daily reading with 1 Corinthians 7. This is where Paul urges people to remain single so that they can praise God and not have to worry about pleasing a wife (in my case). He also states that if you are burning with passion to marry. I figure I need to stop hanging out with Kyle and Betsy as a group of 3. I figure that if God wants he to have a wife, she will be someone that I am a friend with first, like Mike and Tegan. I am not going to push the issue any more becuase God knows it already. Well I need to jet off before I pay way to much for the internet.
