"Peace on Earth and Good Will toward Mandy"

My sweet brother Will has met a girl. No, not just any girl a WONDERFUL GIRL. Her name is Mandy. I don't know much about her yet. She's from Michigan and now lives in Lakeland FL and is a 2nd grade teacher. We have talked on the phone and she has already sent me a card! She is so sweet. The thing is: SHE thinks my brother is GREAT! So i've known him way longer and i know better, but why should i change her mind? She has come over to his house in the morning to make him pancakes!! (his favorite breakfast) in addition to so many other things to make him feel so special. What is so great about the two of them is that they are NOT dating.. Let me explain. I know what you're thinking- we'll why the heck not?? they look soooo cute together! WELL, it's certainly not cause they dont' like eachother you can tell how smittenn they are from the picture.. They aren't dating yet cause they are being patient with what God has to say. They are getting to know one another better before they make any sort of commitment. I am soo proud of my brother i'm busting buttons!! Will you are such a Thrill! My brother is reading books on the subject and has a renewed interest in being a godly man. So maybe she is right about how great my brother is.. or maybe because of her in his life he really has become great.

when i think about my own life and how screwed up it was before i met brian.. i know for certain if there is any ounce of "coolness" in me it is from what that boy has contributed to my life. I would not be who i am today if it weren't for him, teaching, loving, forgiving, and delighting in me.

My brother is so wonderful, but maybe it is cause of mandy in his life. He actually listens to me now (thanks mandy!!) I'm just bursting with fruit flavor, it think and pray for them all the time. Maybe he does need her for good. Maybe he should just marry her before she changes her mind about him!(just a thought Will...)
