Yesterday evening, Amber and I decided to go to the mall. If you know us very well, then you know that we both utterly despise the mall and that if we must go there we go with a bitter attitude. Like normal, we fussed about the crowds and insane styles until we finally found ourselves at Boardwalk & Parkplace. We browsed through the games and then ended up at Lerner’s, Bath & Body Works [cucumber melon salt scrub, mmmm], and then at the Christian bookstore. Neither of us had a bunch of money to spend but when I saw Ravi Zacharias’ latest book on display- I quickly got out my debit card.
I think it’s been about two years since I heard his famous message entitled I, Isaac, take Thee, Rebekah but I still get cold chills when I remember him talking about the man peeking through the door to see his beloved bride. His accent rocks, too. Anyway, when I saw that his newest book had the same title- I was thrilled. When I finally crawled into bed last night, I sat for a very long time and poured through the first chapter. New books always require good pouring.
On a side note, I heard the funniest thing during at the church fellowship today. Meagan (a 7 year old maybe?) was glancing at the hoard of food displayed when the following conversation took place:
Meagan: What’s that green stuff?
Lynn: It’s called Russian salad.
Meagan: Oh, Amber must have brought it.
Lynn: Why did you say that? Do you think she’s from Russia?
Meagan: Well, she’s not from around here.
