‘HOGWASH,’ SAID THE BRIDE

How I love receiving my monthly Imogene Hub. The February issue reminds us of careful we must be when city folks marry country folks. I’ve heard of farmer’s daughters who bring home city-slicker boyfriends who make everybody laugh with how fancified their shoes and socks are, and or urban girlfriends who raise a ruckus on visits out to the sticks in their flashy jewelry and black spaghetti strap outfits.

Well, according to the Hub, an Iowa farm girl married a boy from the teeming metropolis of Omaha, and soon thereafter, there was trouble. The bride’s mother said to her father, “Phillip never saw a live pig before he married Theresa.”

Oink-redible!

Prayer request: Roger, the father of a friend’s friend named Pam, has been battling esophagus cancer for about a year. He had to have his throat stretched again yesterday and they are really struggling. Father, there’s a sad beauty in the fact that the source of our literal inspiration, the throat, where we take in air, is where this disease is. Send Your most precious inspiration – Your Holy Spirit – the Breath of Life – to this precious family. (Acts 17:25)
