I flew to Arkansas this weekend for a girls' weekend. 4 of us that went to college (in Arkansas) together got back together for a time to hang out and catch up. This is our second annual and we've already planned next year's event...so it is becoming a tradition. We scrapbooked for hours, which I loved because no one in Houston will do that with me! We also got pedicures, had a picnic outside amongst a field of blooming dafodills and, of course, stayed up way too late talking. A few of our topics included alcohol, tithing, interracial marriage, support of the military, and submission. (There were a few others too, but I would begin blushing simply typing them.) However, I digress...It was interesting how, with 4 women who all grew up in Christian homes, we had differing opinions on almost every issue. Not necessarily 4 different opinions each time, but still. It was also inspiring because at least one of us had done research on each topic and were able to direct us to verses regarding that specific topic. However, we left the discussion wanting all topics researched fully. We split them up and will report back to each other. I think this is a perfect example of three things.
1. Iron sharpens iron
2. Scripture is our only measuring tool (not society or how we were raised)
3. It doesn't matter how much time passes since you've seen your girl friends, it feels as if you've never been apart.
