Say What?!?!

I was doing devotions the other day and I ran across this Proverb... It STOPPED me in my tracks, made me laugh... Is it strange that when I read the Bible I laugh, a lot? Usually at my self being reflected in the pages before me... but this time it was a whole vivid picture that was so bluntly and eloquently put... awesome...

So, here it is.

A beautiful woman who lacks discretion     
      is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
              Proverbs 11:22

Havent you ever met the most beautiful woman that airs her dirty laundry, speaks poorly of her man, or dresses without any sense of modesty... I dont come across them as much as I used to when I was working at the psych hospital... (I will save that for another post)

But I have. I couldnt really put words to the feeling that I would get when I would be around them... I just knew what I felt. I felt like my whole body was cringing...

And here it was... the perfect words were here all along.

Love,
Amber

PS. Does anyone else laugh when they read the Bible? Or am I crazy?... Wait, don't answer that.
