Bob,
I love what you wrote. It's like seeing you with a whole new set of eyes.
Your favorite song is ... "Don't fence me innnn... la la de daaahhh... " I know that tune well.
My thoughts on how you men , er, "beasts" behave are this:
I thank God almighty that I am fortunate to be able to support myself and pay my own bills. I thank God that I am not dependent on a man to provide for me other then those men who were kind enough to give me a job so that I can work. (It's a good job too. I work for and with wonderful, patient, hardworking and very caring men (and women) ) who pay me very well and never abuse or mistreat me and they always say things like, "No, after you!" and "Wow! Thanks! That was fast!" and "Here's hundreds of dollars in gift cards - Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, and Professional Staff Appreciation Day!
I thank God that I live in a country (after reading about what happened in Afghanistan to a 14 year old girl who refused a man's marriage proposal [beheaded]) that doesn't force me to marry anyone that I don't desire to; especially a beast - lol
I thank God every day that I've got good friends like my friend Gail and my friend Karlea who keep me company. I thank God for my daughters who are so well behaved and good mannered.
But mostly, I thank God for bible-truths.com. I thank God for working through Ray Smith who then showed me the things that (as Ray put it) God can do with dung.
Muaaaahhh!!
I love you all and I feel extremely honored and blessed to be a part of this B-T family.
God Bless you all.
p.s. Kat, I love your posted reply.
