Isaac answered Esau: "Look, I have made him a master over you… . What then can I do for you, my son?" Genesis 27:37

Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters.

I grew up in a house full of women - I have four sisters. I'm more feminine than some gay men.

My father made sure I was treated equally with my brothers.

Be a good girl, she said. I hope you'll be a good sister to Laura. I know you try to be. I nodded. I didn't know what to say.

If you like to swallow him, for his sister's sake, you may; but I've no sauce that will make him go down.

And Isaac loved Esau - Isaac though he was not a stirring man himself, yet he loved to have his son active. Esau knew how to please him, and shewed a great respect for him, by treating him often with venison, which won upon him more than one would have thought. But Rebekah loved him whom God loved.

In Matthew 13:55 and 56, we read that after Mary gave birth to Jesus (He was Mary's firstborn), she gave birth to four more boys and to at least two girls.

Goofy was the word that was used most often by my sisters because I've been this tall ever since I was 12 years old.
