Dave loved reading "The Help," the wildly popular book about housewives and maids in Mississippi in the 60s.
But he was frustrated when, in the end, the really bad person in the book didn't get her comeuppance. We've had many discussions about "Miss Hilly" and just how bad she was and what should have happened to her in the end. But I thought we wrapped it up a couple of weeks ago.
Then last Sunday morning, in our class on "Lying," when we were looking at some verses from Proverbs, Dave leaned over to me and said,
This is Hilly!!!
For those of you who've read the book, following is the scripture. Do you think it describes Hilly?
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things the Lord hates,
Seven that are detestable to him:
Haughty eyes,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked schemes,
Feet that are quick to rush into evil,
A false witness who pours out lies,
A man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
