lucky number 7...

seven years ago...

&

today...

i once read something by roy h. williams

a reminder of the truth about why

 God made a wife for the man.

she wasn’t just his helpmate or assistant.

the literal hebrew translation in genesis

says that she was made to be his ezer kenegdo,

or a strength opposite him,

a power facing him,

a rescue that looks him in the face.

what if we (wives) dared to believe that was true?

would it change anything?

how to make a sandwich

wren & i have a little thing where i'll say "i love you peanut butter" and she will tell me "i love you jelly". recently she has changed this. when i said "i love you peanut butter" she said "i'm not peanut butter, you are!" and when i asked what she was, she said "i am bread". okay? ummm...then she went on..."you are the peanut butter, daddy is the jelly and i am one piece of bread and nea-nea is the other piece of bread".

so...it's taken us 6 years, but that's how you make a really, really good sandwich!
