From the Book of Hezekiah

November5

(While speaking of baby names, Jasmine and I realized we needed to brush up on our Old Testament ladies. We are, indeed, college educated women who attended a private Christian university. We, indeed, had to study this stuff in college. And my husband is, indeed, a youth pastor.)

Sadie: Hagar!

Jasmine: Wasn’t Hagar the one that got raped?

Sadie: No. Hagar was the one who was the wife. You know. The wife and the prostitute?

Jasmine: No I’m pretty sure that Hagar was the one that got raped.

Sadie: No, that was Tabor. Hagar was the…the…Hosea’s wife!

Jasmine: Oh Homer!

Sadie: GOMER! It was Gomer. Let’s look it up. (pause) Yep. Gomer was Hosea’s wife, the prostitute. And (pause) Hagar was Sarah’s handmaiden. She is Isaac’s mom.

Jasmine: Well then who was raped?

Sadie: Is wasn’t Tabor?

Jasmine: Tamar!

Sadie: Oh yeah! Tamar! It was Tamar. Where the heck did I get Tabor?

Jasmine: Pretty sure you made that one up.

    That was a great convo! All though you forgot to wow the crowd and put the part where I told you Esther’s Hebrew name….I only remember her story because she got the King’s favor because she was a “great story teller” which (in my world) translates into the fact that Esther had to be one KINKY lady to catch a man’s eye who could sleep with any woman he wanted…I think I am pretty much saying Esther was a whore! God help us all.
    But she did save a nation. And if my hypothesis is correct she saved a nation WITH HER VAGINA- which makes her triple hardcore in my book. Thank you very much.

    Also…. You and I need to get better about PROOGFING the shit we right… these people are going to think we are total idiots (if they don’t already)

    Oh well! Cheers to typing too fast and hitting submit because you are so funny you don’t need proper grammatical sensibilities.

    Its cool. All day I’ve been thinking that I was awesome because I remembered that Hagar was Isaac’s mom. And then Rusty told me tonight when I was telling the story that that’s not correct. HA!

    Possibly Gomer? Haha!

    I do like Gomer. I think that names can really hand a kid a destiny. And you know, Gomer will either be one tough cookie (a la A Boy Named Sue) or else will stay with you forever and care for you in your old age. : )

    And I’m amazed you know all that stuff! I just nod politely when people try to tell me the Old Testament origins of my boys’ names, Zachary and Ezra. We just: liked them, could spell them, and liked that they were more or less Old Testament as a nod to my husband’s Jewish dad. Definitely couldn’t tell you who anyone was! I’m so out of the loop that I can’t get over the fact that Jezebel is a really pretty name, if you think about it…

Jasmine Brown and Sadie Perkins have been friends for several years. They are both graduates of John Brown University. They both were born in September, love chocolate, coffee, swearing, and loving on their babies. While they share many commanilites- they are from two different worlds. Sadie, a New Mexico native, grew up in a blended family, while Jasmine, an Oklahoman, grew up with a single parent. Jasmine and Sadie are passionate about being mothers, in different way.  Sadie is the mother of The Norah. Norah is a bright one year old who can clear the room with her vocal stylings.  Sadie swears she can only get pregnant with girls- lest she have to deal with a booger eating boy! Isaiah is Jasmine’s son. He is two years old. He is nicknamed “Toad” because he tends to be well…. toady. Jasmine thinks she is only cut out to mother boys… because, well, she is a Tom Boy herself.

Join these two women  and read about their crazy daily happenings!!!
