Has anyone here ever seriously considered the priesthood or one of the holy orders (monks, nuns, etca)? For those who haven't, on a purely hypothetical level, could you imagine yourself ever doing so?
I've personally thought about it from time to time, but I don't think I could ever make the leap into purely celibate life. I simply enjoy the company of the opposite sex far, far too much. :mrgreen:
I've also always wanted a family.
Then again, I believe it was St. Augustine who once said, "grant me chastity oh lord, but not yet." The call will ultimately find you one or way or the other I suppose, regardless of what you might happen to think of it initially. :lol:
