He did want one of his people getting the flowers for him. He wanted to do it himself. He tried a couple of time to get them himself but he just messed up. Until finally he does find flowers for her that he get himself. Imagine how special that girl felt. Think about how special of gift we have.

Try and think about something with me. If Christianity were like a company, imagine having to figure out the cost of the law. Imagine trying to hire enough employees, train them well enough, and still expect bad product. Then along comes a better way of doing things. You could totally assemble something wrong but it through the final check and it would be made perfect. That is effectiveness.
