In high school, I began thinking of the type of girl I would like to marry someday. After some deliberation, I came to the conclusion that I had such high standards, that the kind of girl I wanted to marry would never date a guy like me. So, I began hunting through scripture in search for what I called “Chick Chapters.” The name is a little misleading. These are some of the passages that had special meaning to me while I was attempting to become the man that Rachel would want to marry. She would say that I am he. I think I still have work to do.
