A Gargantuan Spoon

I've lived in Minneapolis for a little while now, and yet I never have been to this mythical sculpture park. Until today. I was able to enjoy a nice bike ride before the clouds came in, but that's completely irrelevant to my story. I rode my scooter to the sculpture. I've officially ridden her over 4,000 miles since my purchase last June.
So yeah, the park.
There were a lot of wedding parties taking pictures, and a lot of couples walking hand in hand. Others were laying on a blanket or sitting on park benches. Families were also there. I saw a grandma point out a rabbit sculpture. Then her granddaughter began imitating a rabbit hopping down the sidewalk. I also saw a dad quickly backstepping to take pictures of his daughter running toward him. A minute later the daughter was walking backward across the park. I thought that was cool. I also thought is was kinda daunting, knowing that children notice everything. And imitate it.
Of all the people at the park, though, I felt that I related most with a goose. A Canadian one. He just sat quietly by the park while people steered clear. Seemed pretty content, though.
After a while I saw two kids with bags making a beeline for the content goose. They stopped about 10 feet short and began lobbing chunks of bread the size of the goose's head at him. They both kept throwing bread with impressive rapidity until their bags were gone. I'm not sure if the goose managed to eat any of the head-sized bread rolls because he retreated to cover behind a small berm by the spoon.

The last verse of Ephesians speaks about believers who love Christ with a love incorruptible. Incorruptible love for Christ.

A statistic

It is estimated that 40% of women born in the 80's will never marry or have children. They reference women because of the child-bearing, but that number would obviously affect men as well. I read this statistic a couple months ago. I've thought about it a lot. I don't have a lot to share, though.
Is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing?
Is it indifferent?
..and then I wonder about that whole.. Area of life. Relationships. Marriage. At a get-together a while back somebody in a game wrote that they wanted to be, or thought they would be a good mother. Someone commended them on their courage to say that.
Isn't that normal, though? To want to be a wife and a mother, or a husband and a father?
It's just something that seems to be taboo to speak about openly.. The fact that you may be unmarried and deeply long for a spouse.
Why is that?
Do we feel guilty for longing for something other than the supremacy of God?
Do feel that we aren't at peace if we long for that?
It's interesting.
Maybe I think and pray about it more than most people do.. Maybe more than I should.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.

The sun is setting. I need to get home. I might regret clicking 'publish post'.
