The Greatest Pickup Book

A friend once showed me this dialogue that occurred between this guy that admired a girl he attended church with. So he looked up scriptures and fair enough he impressed the girl he admired. This is how the dialogue happened...

JOEY: Do you have a boyfriend?

AGNES: Nope. I don’t want to have a boyfriend.

JOEY: Genesis. chapter2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

AGNES : But I don’t love you.

JOEY: 1 John 4:8 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

AGNES : And how do I know you mean those words?

JOEY: Matthew 12:34b ” For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

AGNES: But how can I be sure that you’re loyal and honest?

JOEY: Mark 13:31 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”

AGNES: But why me? There are a lot of girls out there.

JOEY: Proverbs 31:29 “Many womenn do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

AGNES: But what is it about me that you do like?

JOEY: Song of Solomon 4:7 “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”

AGNES: But I’m not all that beautiful…you’re exaggerating.

JOEY: Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”

AGNES: What happens if I say yes.

JOEY: Genesis 2:24 “Therefore man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his Agnes, and they shall become one flesh.”

AGNES : How come you know the scriptures this much?

JOEY: Joshua 1:8 ” This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and you will have good success.”

AGNES: Woo-ow, I can see you really love God.

JOEY: Psalm 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.

AGNES: Mmm. Ok please give me time to think about it.

JOEY: Philippians 4:8 “Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

AGNES: Aw, I love you already

JOEY: Revelation 22:21b …

AGNES: AMEN!!!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
