This Christmas...

Gotta love time spent with the fam. I truly do enjoy getting to see my whole family. My aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, brother-in-laws and sisters...We always have a good time. But it's so interesting to see how different each side of the family is. Now I could go on to elaborate all that goes on between our families, but I don't think it's important. What's important is that we enjoy each other's company.

Well, that's besides the point. I just recently picked up a book called A Man Worth Waiting For by Jackie Kendall, I believe. It obivously talks about what all I am to look for in a man. This author is good, but she seems to be a bit corny a lot of the time. For instance, she gives the example of a young man whispering to his buddies, "Hey, she's totally a P-31 chick." Honestly, What college aged guy is gonna say that to his friends? Come to find out, this young man is the author's son, which explains a lot. It's not to say that isn't what many young men look for, but it's probably not the first thing they notice.

But this book has been so awesome to read. It relates relationships biblically and from a woman's perspective who has dealt with sexual abuse and many other things. That's another reason I think the book is good and why God allows us to go through certain trials and tribulations that may seem so unbareable at the time, but are worth it in the end: she can now minister to younger girls who have gone through the same thing or something similar and has the ability to minister to them. Wow, what a ministry opportunity.

Also in this book, it compares a Bozo to a Boaz. Boaz had such a great relationship with his wife, Ruth. I encourage you to go read the story in Ruth. But the Bozo is the one that does all the wrong things, in case you didn't catch that...I'll elaborate more on this soon.

Well I'll write more on this later, but I need to go hang out with my family.

Later Days
