Gentlemen,
I have taken God's example from Scripture to heart:
Genesis 29:15-30 (AV1611 King James Bible)
Fortunately, I did not have to labor seven years in either case, but let me introduce the other light of my life, Mary Claire Wierdsbe. She is Mary Therese' younger sister and has turned to Christ from the Papist influence of her Irish heritage. She never gave herself over to the debauchery of her sister, and so I believe her when she says she came to me a virgin.
She delights in all things in the kitchen. You can't see from these photos, but she is barefoot! You can imagine how interesting our prayer meetings get, and she is radiant when she is on her knees.
In Christ,Warren
I have taken God's example from Scripture to heart:
Genesis 29:15-30 (AV1611 King James Bible)
15And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
