She is me....
By Phillip Holmes

Recently, my wife and I started having family worship again, a time set aside each day for us to read the Scriptures and pray together.
Although we pray and read on our own, we need time in the Bible together as well.
We decided to start light with a seven-day reading plan on marriage.
Our first passage was Ephesians 5:21–33. Verses 28–33 left me speechless and in tears:
"In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
Paul, like a skill-full artist, overwhelmed me with his picture of marriage. I could hardly speak,
I was so convicted.
I was awed. I asked my wife for observations so that I could gather my thoughts.
But as she spoke about submission, I could only feel the weight of my responsibility.
I hadn’t loved my wife as if she was a member of my own body. I failed to even aspire to love her as Christ does the church, his body.

A Heavenly Mind
What is a heavenly mind?
Centuries ago I bought a nice house in a quiet little street in an inner-city suburb. It was a haven nestled away from the outside hustle and bustle of the larger city.
Although small, it was big enough to house me, my widowed mother, my brother and his new bride. The secluded back yard was large enough to contain an enormous peppercorn willow tree, a shed, and a little vegetable garden. O! – and a German Shepherd dog.
I loved the fact that a half a mile away up the hill, you could find fashionable wine bars and restaurants. There was a convenient shopping mall around the corner. Even a beautiful wetlands walking park complete with the appropriate native fauna and wildlife.
In fact I hardly ever availed myself to those restaurants and bars. All the years I lived there, I think I only walked that park a handful of times. Still, it was a highly desirable area. I just liked boasting that I lived there.
We all lived in that same little house, yet occupied different worlds. My brother and his wife were busy planning their lives. I had my job, my beloved gymnasium and friends to occupy time. While I had the odd “spiritual” inclinations, my life was largely governed by more earthy pursuits.
