Working with the little Woman

I mentioned that Bev and I led a marriage seminar last week in Gulu and this past Saturday in Lumuli. It was a lot of fun as we had expected 50 people and got 150. Bev is so much fun to teach with as she knows exactly what the women are thinking. Richard the pastor came to see me this morning and said all anyone could talk about in the trading center the past two days was how everything that had been done in the homes of the people around the center on Friday night had been accurately revealed by the prophets on Saturday afternoon.

But the good thing is we are not prophets just a husband and wife sharing the truth of God's word. Solomon said,"What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Ecc.1:9. And it is true! Everything we laughed about in the seminar from a coulpe's tug of war over the blanket after a fight, to the cold shoulder reply of "I'm fine!", or the flattery in courtship by the man and then his being out with the guys instead of being with his wife, they have all experienced.

The Word of God is true. It can change our lives if we will only listen. The woman in Lumuli had it right when she told Steven on Saturday, "That lady teaching us must truly have heard from God to know all these things." Bev does hear from God, just as we all can. She reads His Word and listens. So can you!

Honey, can I have part of the blanket now?
