Series: The Divine Design (2 of 8)
Primary Scripture: Proverbs 18:22
Author: Pastor Jeff Schreve
I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on the woman that was going to be my wife, Debbie Kaye Canon. It was on a Sunday night after church. We had a get-together, a singles get-together at this guy's house. And I was just starting to get involved in the singles group at Champion Forest Baptist Church.

And I was very shy, and so I didn't talk a whole lot. And she told her roommate, Donna, "I'm going on a date with this guy, Jeff, and he's just so quiet. He's just so shy. He's just so boring."
