If she doesn't submit to her father she will not submit to you

Don't date. Negotiate. And not with her; with her father. Compatibility is a myth and marriage has nothing to do with "love". Every woman is compatible with any male if she will be subdued or put herself aside. Women are the only problem to be solved. Save them from themselves.

Growing up is realizing:

WC 52 W1 was out for a few days, leaving W2 to manage everything. First day in, W2 collapses on my lap at the end of the day. Me: "You've had a productive day. How do you like being the only wife?" W2: "Hmmm...I like when W1 is here." Eccl 4:9,10

Tradition (or religion) will not bring a man closer to or farther from God by itself. However, as an idol, that is if a man puts his faith in that tradition rather than in the Son of God, then the tradition serves as a barrier between that man and God.

- Eve went to Adam. - Rebecca went to Isaac. - Abigail went to David. - Ruth went to Boaz. - Esther went to Xerxes. - We will go to Christ. But you think, "A daughter is a daughter for life; a son is a son until he gets a wife." Where'd you get that inverted notion?

My love language is passing the charging cable at 75% because I know she's probably somewhere around 20%.

Studying spreadsheets while she studies scriptures. You ever get the feeling of holding someone's hand just by existing quietly nearby?

"I'll take things that didn't happen for 500." --Me to myself when I start to reimagine real life events in ways I wish they'd happened. Gotta stay grounded, even when it hurts. Accept the pain and let it be a tutor.

Unlike Santa, power dynamics between you and your dog exist whether you believe in them or not.

You don't have a ministry. You participate in GOD'S ministry. It's NEVER about YOU. 1 Tim 1:12 Col 4:17 Acts 20:24

It is the nature of the human condition that no one can know his own appearance until he sees an image of it. For the soul, that image is the reflection of himself from another human being. What a blessing to find a mirror which is unveiled and unwarped. Prov 27:5,6

Like get rich quick schemes are the buy-my-book self help gurus. Thoughts on barriers to entry, or why there is no simple answer to the question: "How can I be like you?" open.substack.com/pub/hereticgen…

They used to be called soothsayers, oracles, or prophets. Now it is said they're on the spectrum.
