The most beautiful girl in the planet...

Well, for a week now Mari has been down south in Stranda, while I am up on her family farm learning what it means to be a Norwegian farmer... If you didn't guess, this is Mari's fiance Jon.

She hinted to me that I should update this for her, since she isn't able to right now (... and besides, probably wouldn't anyway)


This gives me a nice little oppotunity to tell all of you (whoever you may be) that Mari truly is the most beautiful girl on the planet. Actaully, that's putting it lightly. See, when God created the heavens and the earth and all that other stuff, He said it was good. Then He made stars and planets and said they were good. Then He made fish and birds and said they were good. Then He made some animals and said they were good.... note the progression - things are getting more and more interesting, as if He is building towards something. He starts of pretty big, creating space (which I am told is pretty large). Then stars and all that, again pretty big.

Then He starts getting a little more complicated - I've never tried making a tree, but I imagine that would be a lot of work. And then, making a cow... Dang, that must be a whole heap of work.

So, then he moves onto man. And He does a really fine job!!! So good that this time He says what He made was very good....
However, He didn't make both man and woman at the first time. He made Adam before He made Eve. Why? Same reason why He made trees before cows. He started with something good, and then moved on to something better.

Or, in other words, Eve was the best thing that God to possibly think up. She was God's greatest idea. As John Eldridge says, she is the Crown of Creation.


So, bringing that back to Mari... God has been working at it for years and years now, so He has had a whole heap of practice. Looking at Mari, and I can't help but think that when she was born God was saying to Himself... 'DANG!!! This one is good'!!!

Or, in other words, Mari truly is the most beautiful thing that God could possibly think up!!!! Oh, and I love her so, so much!!!!



So, there you go, I'm madly in love with Mari and am so excited to spend the rest of my life with her!!!



God bless y'all

Jon
