If you're wife is standing, you should be also.
- Doug Sherman in
"Your Work Matters to God" Bible Study
I'm not sure if that's exactly how he says it, but that's how I remember Doug saying that 20+ years ago. It was another moment where I almost got up and walked out. Seriously? Does he really mean that? How about now, I wonder if he still feels that way?
Hmmm...that's another question I'll ask him if I get the chance.
My feelings have changed over the years because yes, I believe it. The depth and width of practicing such is usually beyond me, but I do have flashes of clarity every so often.
Here are some other quotes...
Doug Sherman - "As men, we need to go through re-entry on the way home each day."
Stormie Omartian - "The top 4 things I wife wants to hear from her husband:
- I love you
- You look beautiful
- The bills are paid
- I'm praying for you"
To that end...I'll be sure and say 1, 2 and 4 today (working on 3)
