@PastorTrey05 A student asked me today if I could be good friends with a hard-core Republican. We're in Mississippi and they are having a hard time navigating friend groups.
"women don't want to be mothers" - no. women don't want to bear the burden of motherhood alone.
there are too many men who want a wife and kids without having to be a husband and a father.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

@kylemoore20 @MoniseLSeward I have to clock in each morning with my fingerprint. If I'm one minute late, I'm docked 15 minutes. I'm hourly in the morning, but salary after school.
It's times like these I wish @dieworkwear would give us lessons on women's clothing and tailoring because I'm obsessed with this suit and how it fits her flawlessly.
sure there is something to be said for being receptive to intimacy. But what many men don’t understand is that for women intimacy doesn’t start in the bedroom so if you’re waiting until the minute you want to have sex to try and “turn her on” you’re probably not going to have much success especially if you’re already in this holding pattern in your relationship (maybe less true for the honeymoon phase)
Yet Britney Spears was crucified by everyone - while going through family loss, post-partum depression and a divorce - which led to her rights being taken away. Meanwhile her dad forced drugs and meds down her throat to keep her compliant. And she is mocked for it to this day
@Jubilee4CHANGE When we were in ministry we had a whole Sunday school curriculum and sermon series about how we got the Bible. It made quite a few people uncomfortable.
@PastorTrey05 I had to reread parts of the Bible with a focus on how women moved and how God meets and interacts with them. When God is just a man, it keeps us from recognizing both the variety of human experiences and the variety of ways God encounters people.
@PastorTrey05 I grew up constantly hearing about how Jesus suffered everything we've suffered so he knows our pain. But then I got pregnant and gave birth and consequently found it hard to relate to God for a time. I remember being able to relate to the women in the Bible more than God. 1/2
