The fact is, I am very narrow-minded. Take for example the fact that I have only one wife. There are lots of men and women that I care about, there are lots of wonderful, godly women in this world, but there is only one woman whom I have devoted my life and my love to. There is only one woman

One of my favorite stories (and I am not sure that I have shared it before, and if I have, please bear with me) comes from Keith Miller in his men’s devotional book, A Habitation of Dragons. It is the story of a well-to-do attorney who experiences a true change of life and heart when he gives
