WMD -In the beginning

In the beginning there was a wedding. And the wedding was good and the photos thereof were brought unto the Mom. And the Mom said: Let us go down and make an album for the wedding that it may not be forgotten by future generations. Thus went the Mom to the scrapbook store and obtained many supplies to make the album. But it came to pass that the Mom was displeased with the colors in those supplies. For indeed the wedding clothes were pink and the papers were blue as the heavens. Therefore those supplies were cast aside to be used in another, equally worthy project on another day. Therefore it came to pass that the Mom went back to the scrapbook store to obtain new supplies and the new supplies held much pink like unto the photos and brought much joy to the heart of the Mom. And the Mom said: Now I will go down and build a wedding album. And there was rejoicing in the land.

But it came to pass the Mom was not wise and put her trust in Pintrest and not the Scrapbooking Fairy. The Mom wiled away many days searching in vain for the perfect album to scraplift. After many days the photos of the wedding became lonely and remained apart from the album for the album had not come to pass. And the Mom heard a still, small voice, even the voice of the photos as from under the dust. And the voice said: Oh thou wicked and unproductive Mom. Why sit ye gazing into the computer screen?Wilt thou put thy trust in Pintrest rather than follow thine own workings? Hast not the Scrapbook Fairy been thy companion and repaired the flaws in thy scrapbooking many times in the past? And thus the Mom repented of her vain searching and said unto the photos: if it be possible, remove mine insecurity from my mind. Thou photos are acceptable unto me. I have been blessed with lovely supplies that will serve well as thy companion. I will set aside my vain longings to scrapbook in a style that is of the world and I will bring forth a wedding album by my own hand and in the style which I have heretofore used. And it was good and there was rejoicing in the land.

  2. And the husband therefore rejoiced exceedingly also, for great was the joy of the woman who he doth love.
