i'm here at Biola's library again with edu, doe, and zen (who has apparently replaced our beloved grandpa joe). i am sleeping over edu's place again for the next few days as we study by day and play by night. lately, people have been asking me what edu and i talk about every night before we go to sleep. well, to put it simply we talk about theology and girls: things of the good nature and things that naturally bad. (grin). but you see, when we talk about girls we don't simply go down a list of names and gossip away. we first agree that there is a strong lack of godly women in this world. then we agree that we must FIND the Cave of Godly Women.
note: edu and i do not "lovefest." only dinkas and i do that.

The Theory of The Cave of Godly Women:

look around you. spot any females? there is a 95% chance that the female(s) you have just witnessed is/are not godly. our theory is that somewhere in Africa (i don't know why we always pick Africa), there is a cave full of awesome women. women, godly AND bodily. women, who can cook and clean well with pleasure. women, who do not get angry with passages on submitting to their husbands! women, who are TEACHABLE for crying out loud!!! *tears flowing* now, you must be thinking that you know of a few lucky men who have been blessed with an incredible woman in their life. therefore, you are convinced that it IS possible to find that lucky someone out there-you are convinced that you just have to be patient.

A few suggestions:
1. a good majority of the lucky men who have godly wives are pastors.
2. the few godly women that you've run into are women who have escaped from the cave.
3. if you hit jackpot (found the cave), would you want to share it (announce it to everybody)?

nobody ever talks about the Cave of Godly Women for three reasons:
1. you found it!
2. you are so discouraged by the fact that you will never find it.
3. you are really really discouraged that you convince yourself that it does not exist.

now, the ultimate question is-where do we find the map? that is a very good question and edu has made a very wise observation concerning the matter. if you remember suggestion #1, it states that "a good majority of the lucky men who have godly wives are pastors." now think, where do all pastors go before they claim their precious jewel?

*drumroll*

answer: seminary.

you see, seminarians are so happy on their graduation days, not b/c they are finally done studying, but because they receive their maps on that day...in other words, the diploma is the map!!!

now, the matter with p. dennis. after some thought and discussion, edu and i have concluded that one of three things could have happened to our beloved reverend:
1. he is just having a hard time finding the cave.
2. somebody stole his map.
3. the fool just lost it!

so going back to what i was originally writing about, one of the things that edu and i talk about at night is girls. we encourage each other that we will find the cave someday. we remind each other that God even loves the sinful women who are not of the cave and that we too must continue to love and be patient with them. we exhort each other to keep one another in prayer. this is the fellowship that we share.
