Girls...Women...Drama

Sunday afternoon I have small group. I meet 6 girls at the Starbucks right the beach for 1 hour of hangout and chat and then we move to the beach for one hour of some kind of bible study. Today, however, the time was spent listening to, and dealing with the girls DRAMA!

I love these girls a ton, but envy them little, I would go so far as to say not at all.

As I sat and listened to each one of them share their frustrations about the imperfections in their current friendships, and the dreams of the ways in which things should change in order for everybody to be happy. I offered them a few wise words of course - but mostly just listened. I thought of my own life, and am thankful for women who have chosen a fairly drama free life!

Then, I left my small group and came home (2 hours of drama later) and here, in my living room are the boys, yelling at each other and the t.v., where they were fighting out the problems of world through the storm troop para troopers on the Star Wars video game. Eating pizza, chips and salsa, cookies, and soda. They are so content, seemingly drama free.

I am thinking that instead of the regular small group we have at Starbucks, followed by a nice bible study on the beach, that I might change it to the Storm-Troopers. I wonder if would be a magical fix? Maybe all these girls need to make these relationships perfect is some pizza high in fat (which they would mention) and some video games were they can work out through the gruesome deaths of the animated figures all the problems in each of them carry. Perhaps it is the solution to all of this drama.

What do you think? Maybe we need an arcade of games designed for women -where they can pull each others hair, choose which high heals they will use as their instead of which gun. Games where they violently push buttons, and be aggressive in a "socially appropriate manner".

What do you think?
