Men don’t seem mysterious to women they just seem stupid but then there’s John; he’s stupid and mysterious too! Occasionally men come into our women’s meeting moving up the isle like they’re afraid to touch the carpet but don’t know how else to get to the front. They say their piece and as they leave each one of them says, each in their own way, something like this, “Well, I’ll leave you now to whatever important and powerful magic you all are working on.” It’s as if we were gleefully creating universes until we heard the doorknob rattle. Then we all looked at each other, sighed and whispered to each other, “Good grief. Now we have to quit!”
In a way perhaps we ARE creating universes. God used power to create the universe. It can be called physics, or faith, also priesthood power, but it boils down to love. I think the powers women have are hard to describe, vague and words are inadequate to describe this love we dispense and cultivate. Our meetings have a single purpose; to expound, examine and amplify that very thing. With love in mind, perhaps women should look at the differences in men and women a little differently. We should label it more kindly…as men do. Hmmm.
And then there’s John. He just bought 58 tubes of lip balm! 58! Let’s label him. Weird, yes, mysterious, stupid for a few minutes because he’s not me and I wouldn’t have done THAT. And John is creative LOVE because by the time we pulled into our drive way he’d thought of a someone who could use all that stuff.  nancymauerman.com
