R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts

“Every woman has at least one humiliating story of obsession.” ~ Linda Sunshine, author of She’s Just That Into You – The No Excuse Truth about Women’s Obsessions with Men

The very irreverent/raunchy book above is one I got at the Barnes and Noble One Dollar book sale. That was a fair price. It was worth the dollar I paid for an in-your-face look at some of the ridiculous things women do to cope with lost love. This is probably not a book you would want to share with your Bible Study group. If we admit it, all of us who have experienced divorce have probably done some of the things in this book. For example, here is what it says on the back: “ Some early signs you’re obsessed. Are you spending more than 14 hours in bed? Do you go to church or temple only to pray he’ll come back to you? Are you frequently misplacing your keys, your wallet, your children and/or your sense of humor? Are you wearing your pajamas to the supermarket?” And inside, there’s a helpful list of Stalking Dos and Don’ts including: “Do follow him in your car; Don’t hit him with your car; or Do wait outside his house for him to come home, Don’t break into his house and wait for him in the basement.” Okay, the book is funny, and I’m glad I bought it instead of the piece of Godiva chocolate I was considering because it reminded me about how ridiculous it is to obsess about someone who has moved on. It reminded me to get a grip and to stand up straight and stop those absolutely self-destructive obsessive behaviors. And as Ms. Sunshine says toward the back of the book, “Getting dumped is always an opportunity for an upgrade. ALWAYS.” Here’s a suggestion for a really great read: Proverbs. Seek Real Wisdom. Ask God for Wisdom. Stop doing those humiliating, embarrassing things that demonstrate that you don’t value yourself and you don’t trust God. Move on, and definitely don’t do anything you might have to go to jail for.

“…Lady Wisdom will be your close friend and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you.” ~ Proverbs 2:10-12 (The Message)
