February is the month we celebrate romance. Actually, the only romantic things about me are my ''love handles,'' which is why I have spent so much energy developing them over the years. You think somebody would appreciate them.

I do not know what she was wearing or even what she looked like. All I
could see were those tomato cans on her head. At the time, I did not 
know much about romance, but I knew this was not it. 

The next few days I did everything to avoid the women's dorm for fear I
would run into her. Whenever I did see her, I crossed to the other side 
of the street. But the more I tried to avoid her, the more I ran into 
her. Prayer makes strange partners. 

Thinking I was making progress in my plan of avoidance, the inevitable
happened. 

One week after arrival, my roommate invited me to come along with him
and his girlfriend to a restaurant. Being the neurotic naive that I am, 
I said, ''Sure, I'd love to come along.'' After all, I had nothing else 
to do and it seemed like some fun. 

When my roommate went to the women's dorm to pick up his girlfriend, who
do you suppose was standing with his girlfriend waiting? 

That's right. The young woman with the tin cans on her head. 

Would you believe it? The young woman with the tin cans turned out to be
the sister of my roommate. 

It was a whirlwind romance. I met her in September and in February she
asked me to marry her. In August of that year, I found myself at a 
church altar mumbling, ''I do.'' The Bible makes this promise: “Whoso 
findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD” 
(Proverbs 18:22 KJV). 

A good wife is the find of a lifetime, as long as God is in charge of
the search.
