Dear Bethel Family and Friends: (E-Mail Version)

I never had the capacity to fully appreciate all of Maya Angelou’s poetry. One statement attributed to her, however, is awesome. She said, “A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.”

One way or another, that was the standard, stated or implied, my generation of church-related young men were taught. Of course, if the young lady also happened to be attractive, so much the better. After all, young men are young men…guaranteed.

Ms. Angelou’s statement is profound. Men tend to reflect the attitude and manner of the one they love. We thrive on their approval. Even so, we men can be sorry critters, make terrible mistakes, calling for maximum understanding from our women. God bless’em!
