My boyfriends.

I have several boyfriends.

Or, at least that is what my husband calls them.

My obsession with these men began long before I was ever married. But, my husband is okay with me having boyfriends.

Their names? There are so many of them, but I will name a few.

Bob

Dave

Perry

Rob

I've never actually met any of my boyfriends in person, except for Bob, and that was only for a couple of minutes. Mostly I just stalk from a distance.

Now, don't get your color-coded sock drawers all in a tizzy. Let me explain.

My "boyfriends" are all men that I love to read, watch, and listen to on a regular basis. They have profoundly impacted the way I look at God, His church, business, money, people, the Bible, poverty, and the environment.

They are Bob Harrison, Dave Ramsey, Perry Noble, and Rob Bell.

These guys are all wildly successful experts in the fields they are passionate about. And, as I have read, watched, and listened to them through the years, I have noticed a pattern.

They all get their creative, innovative, inspiring ideas from the same source.

Wait for it...

Yep- it's the Bible.

I thought to myself, "Self, what does God have to say about overflowing filing cabinets, cluttered closets, and junk drawers?"

So, I started at the beginning, and in the beginning, God laid out some pretty profound ideas about organizing and decorating a space. And they were GOOD. I mean, God said they were good. So I figured, hello- if they're good enough for the Almighty, then verily verily I say unto thee that they're good enough for me.

So, comin' your way Fall '08: a series of bold, brief, and brilliant blogs entitled, "Get Organized, by God!" And, check out all my boyfriends. They're so hot right now.
