Welcome Valentines Day

They sure don’t make em' like Jim Johnson anymore.  If you saw the movie “Hidden Figures”, you know what I'm referring to. I have always heard that if a man truly loves a woman he will do whatever he must do to have her. I’m not certain what percentage of women would agree with this statement, but I believe there is some authenticity to it. Many of you are familiar with the story of Jacob and Rachel of the Old Testament  - (Paraphrasing)  After Jacob was beguiled by Rachel’s father, believing the woman he was marrying was indeed his beloved Rachel. Awaken the next morning to discover he had married Leah, Rachel’s older sister. Jacob devastated inquired of Rachel’s father of what he had done. He said to Jacob, “I will give you Rachel as well, but you must serve me another seven years”. Jacob served another seven years for Rachel, but it seemed like only days to him, because he loved her.  This is what I call love. Please read the full account in Genesis Chapter 29
