If you are planning to build a house in your rural village,
Do the following:
• Open a bank account. Call it "Project Development Account 2026."
• Write a plan. Use the Triple Constraint Theory in Project Management: BUDGET, TIME and SCOPE.
• Save 50% equivalent of your rent in the account, monthly for 15 months, eg, if your rent is 10,000, then, save 5,000 in that account every month.
• If you can't raise 50% equivalent of your rent to save, then you are living beyond your means. Look for a cheaper house.
• Get an architect and a draughtsman to design a house.
• Do research, consult, read about building and construction online. Travel beyond your comfort.
• Get a Quantity Surveyor to do feasibility and the cost of the project.
• At month 15, draw a budget and begin buying material for construction, eg Sand, Ballast, Stones and timber. Stick to the budget.
• At month 18, start building.
• Get a professional mason licensed by the National Construction Authority. Be present. Supervision by phone calls is disastrous.
• Be hands-on. Learn to do the masonry work alongside the mason. Mix the ballast. Lay the bricks. Be part of the team.
• Create a rapport and good relationship with a hardware. Let this hardware be the only place you will buy construction material.
�� Don't live in government houses. Don't buy the so called "affordable houses."
Build your house, to your preference and taste.
Therefore, if you are intending to build, and you start planning today, then you should be building your house in 2026 March.
It is not far.
Start today.
Be patient.
Start.

This was the last thing @TimKellerNYC ever said to Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
In God’s providence, it was scheduled to be shared with Redeemer congregants on May 19—the day he died (three years ago today).

The BIBLE says: Nothing is more important than your family and Christ.

THE DAILY ROUTINE OF JONATHAN EDWARDS
1.Early Rising and Prayer (4:00–5:00 AM)
Edwards normally rose between four and five in the morning. The first moments of the day were spent in private prayer, meditation on Scripture, and quiet reflection. He believed the mind was clearest before the world became busy.
2.Morning Study and Sermon Preparation (5:00–11:00 AM)
These hours were devoted to deep intellectual work. Edwards studied Scripture in the original languages, read theology and philosophy, and prepared sermons. This period formed the backbone of his ministry.
3.Midday Meal and Brief Refreshment (11:00–12:00)
He ate lightly because he believed heavy meals dulled the mind. After eating he often walked briefly or rested so that his mind would remain sharp.
4.Pastoral Ministry and Counseling (12:00–5:00 PM)
Afternoons were used for pastoral duties. This included counseling people concerned about their souls, meeting with church members, visiting the sick, preparing lectures, and answering theological questions. During revival seasons many visitors filled his study seeking guidance.
5.Solitary Horseback Meditation (Late Afternoon)
Edwards frequently rode horseback alone. During these rides he meditated on theological ideas. When a thought occurred, he wrote it on a small paper and pinned it to his coat so he could expand it later.
6.Evening Meal and Family Time (Around 6:00 PM)
Evenings began with time at home. His household was orderly and hospitable, largely due to the careful management of his wife Sarah. The family often shared spiritual conversation and devotion.
7.Evening Study and Writing (7:30–10:00 PM)
Edwards returned to his study during the evening to organize sermons, write theological reflections, and develop his arguments. Many of his major writings began during these quiet hours.
8.Sleep and Preparation for the Next Day (Around 10:00 PM)
He retired at a moderate hour so he could rise early again the next morning and maintain his disciplined routine.
9.Weekly Instruction of Children (Sabbath Morning)
Each Sunday morning Edwards catechized the children of the church, teaching them Scripture and doctrine and often giving them questions that required Bible study.
10.Regular Physical Exercise
To maintain health he often walked, rode horseback, or cut wood during winter. He believed physical activity helped keep the mind strong for study.
Rosaria Butterfield:
"Immodesty is a sin. It's the kind of sin that destroys the peace and the purity of the church. It's the kind of sin that brings dishonor to the name of Christ."
20 MARRIED SEX Facts and Stats ... (a thread)
1 - Most married couples have sex a little over 5 times per month.
2 - Married women are more than twice as likely to have an orgasm as unmarried women.
3 - In 1 out of 4 marriages the wife has the higher sex-drive than the husband.
4 - Roughly 20% of married couples fall into the “sexless marriage” category; defined as having sex less than 10 times per year. Which is totally fine as long as BOTH partners are okay with this. If one is not, that's not healthy.
5 - According to statistics, 75% of married women orgasm during sex. AND many married women don't measure sexual success by orgasms, (but it's definitely very important). Meaning women often still feel connected to their husband, and satisfied, when not achieving an orgasm every time.
6 - The length of a men’s orgasm is roughly 8 seconds long whereas a woman’s orgasm is on average, 20 seconds!
7 - The main goal of sex in marriage should be two fold: 1) To please each other, not seek self-satisfaction first. 2) Re-connection as husband and wife.
8 - God created a woman’s clitoris with 8000 nerve endings .... and its ONLY function is to bring pleasure. Married sex is obviously to be enjoyed for more than just procreation.
9 - Two of the biggest enemies of married sex are busyness and tiredness. So if you're struggling with sexual intimacy, maybe slow down and make it a priority.
10 - Statistically the couples with the best sex-lives are the couples willing to talk about it with one another.
11 - IMPORTANT: How often should a married couple have sex? As often as they both mutually agree to. Whether it’s 5 times a a week, 5 times a month, or 5 times a year, it should be mutual agreement. Neither the higher-drive spouse nor the lower sex-drive should NOT be the one that sets the amount of times when it comes to frequency.
12 - COMPLAINTS: Top complaint from MARRIED WOMEN when it comes to sex? They want their husband to pursue them in other ways than just sexually. Meaning, they don't want to feel like the only time their husband wants them is sexually. Top compliant from MARRIED MEN when it comes to sex? They’d like their wife to initiate more often so they don’t feel like they’re begging. Nothing is worse than feeling like you're begging all the time.
13 - Most husbands feel very emotionally connected to their wife when they have sex with them. Most wives NEED to feel very emotionally connected to their husbands to want to have sex with them. Don't judge your spouse for being wired up different, try to see it from their vantage point and meet their needs their way.
14 - Married sex isn't just about having an orgasm. It's designed to connect and reconnect two people into one ... over and over. Married sex was created to be the purest form of intimacy ... where you touch one another physically, emotionally and spiritually. In fact, it's so good for your marriage, you should probably be having more of it.
15 - God created married sex for SO many reasons ...
* procreation.
* pleasure
* oneness
* comfort
* bonding
* intimate knowledge of one another
* connecting AND re-connecting with one another.
16 - Did you know that every time you have sex with your spouse, oxytocin is released into your bodies. Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter known as the "love hormone" or "cuddle hormone," produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, crucial for social bonding, trust, and attachment. Oxytocin is an incredible gift that connects you to your spouse. That's why many say sex is a glue in your marriage!
17 - Of course anyone can have sex; it only requires a few body parts. But making love requires intimacy, commitment and a deep loving relationship. Marriage and making love will always require more work, but it's definitely so much better! The world makes sex common, God made sex to be special.
18 - We believe if there is anything physical, mental or emotional keeping you from you from having your best sex life in your marriage, you need to see a doctor. They can help with so many things someone might be having issues with.
19 - Of course intimacy is not just experienced through sex. It's found in talking, spending time together, doing spiritual things together, and so on. All areas of intimacy are important.
20 - You made it to #20? We are impressed. Consider reposting this or saving this for later info.
And, if you're ever in an area where we're doing one of our workshops, we talk about all these things on a much deeper scale in our workshops. Join us sometime.
