DO YOU HAVE A DREAM GUY?

Sorry, I missed yesterday. As you get older, you find you see more doctors. Well, that’s where I was yesterday, but I’m back today.

Most girls have their ideal mate, or their “dream guy” in their head. They know what that guy has to be like. I remember those days. I had pictures of Hollywood movie stars all over my walls. My mother hated them, but they were my “dream guys.” Of course, that was back in the 50′s when we had really cute dream guys, or at least I think so compared to what I see today. At least their pants covered their backsides.

Flattops were the style, and my guy would have the flattest there was. He would be tall, handsome with the cutest smile. He would be popular with all the girls, but he would pick me. Little shy me. Oh, how I dreamed for that guy.  (more…)

GOOD GIRLS OF THE BIBLE-ABIGAIL

Abigail is probably my favorite woman in the Bible. You’ve never heard of her? Well, let me tell you the story.

The story is found in 1 Samuel 25:2-42, and it is a beautiful story. Read it to be sure I am telling it correctly.

The name Abigail means, the father is joyful. What a beautiful name! She was a beautiful woman, and we would say she married well. Her husband Nabal was very rich having many sheep, goats, and other animals. The bad thing about him is he was selfish and mean.

David and his men were fleeing from King Saul and had come to Carmel where Nabal was shearing sheep. Some of Nabal’s men had stayed with David and he felt he could ask Nabal for food, since it was a feast time.

David sent ten men to ask for food for David and his men. A good man would have said, “Sure, let me give you enough to feed all of you.” Nabal was wicked and greedy. Nabal was not nice. He refused to give David anything and sent David’s men away.

David’s men were hungry. Nabal acted like he had no idea who David was. There were rumors everywhere about David and Saul. He must have heard that David was the future king. His heart was so hard that wouldn’t admit he even knew who David was. He was very rude.

David was mad at Nabal when he was told what happened. He told all his men to put on their swords and follow him. He was going to fight Nabal and his men. (more…)
