I am the honest and imperfect Christian. I do not study like I used to. I have not prepared daily sermons. I do not preach in front of the mirror watching my little girl walk by thinking that her daddy has lost his marbles. The boys are glad because I used to preach directly at them, and not the mirror, baby girl got off easy! Well perhaps she shouldn't? Perhaps she needs to see that? Her mother doesn't like me to open doors for her. I love it when she waits for me, and shows me that I am worth the wait. I love it when she will allow me to run out in a pouring rain and bring the car around for her. But you know what (speaking to the fellas now)? The women are not my great-great grandmother, they are not my grandmother either. They are a whole new era and they see things in a whole new independent way! I hated cats because they were so independant! Then we got a female manx and she was unbelievable! She killed every rodent, and sometimes other unwanted critters. She jumped a crow and killed it one day! I thought to myself, and said, "Self" and self said, "Huh?" Then I said, "That is one more bad...," and self said, "Watch yo mouth!" And I said, "Just talking bout Keys y'all!" Keys taught me that independence wasn't always a bad quality. She was a worker, and she could serve it up to. That's just who she was. She wasn't a lap cat. Now I didn't know that when bringing her home, but that was alright, we grew on each other. That's how couples should get down too. You grow on each other, because sometimes things just change. It may seem a little foreign to you at first, but if you follow the SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures) you can make it happen. Practice your Foreign Policies, admend them as often as necessary, and enjoy!
Peace, Blessings, and Joy... The Real PB&J!
