Okay, maybe it's sadistic of me, but when I read
this tonight, I just had to
smile laugh my head off. Since I was first introduced to Beth Moore's Bible studies and videos in 1999, she has been to me the epitome of the perfect, polished Southern lady. Always gracious, always charming, always knowing the
right thing to say and never forgetting to ask how your mama's doing. Never with a hair out of place or wearing the
wrong shade of lipstick and never, ever breaking a sweat. At least not in public. Never missing a quiet time and always with fresh revelations from heaven from the most
everyday occurrences.
That's just how I've imagined her to be and so much more.
Imagine my shock and surprise tonight to read that -- gasp! -- she has bad days sometimes, too. And -- gasp! --
that time of the month sometimes turns her into a wicked witch, too. And -- triple gasp! -- she and Keith occasionally
disagree fight with each other.
I laugh not because I find humor in her day gone awry but because we all can completely relate. And because (admit it) it's so reassuring to know that underneath the perfectly coifed hair and matched lipstick and polish, we're all just women. And sometimes just making it through the day can challenge even the most spiritual among us.
