A few years younger tgan you two, but much the same story.
Wife may not have the figure of her youth but I see the years and decades of being a wife and mom and grandma and I see the beauty of her sacrifice.
No make up other than lipstick on occasion and owns no slacks or trousers.
Im the one like your wife, same weight and pants size as when I was a young man, grey and balding a bit and broken down from a harsh life but fit and vigorous so I can care for the missus.
A (pleasantly) shocking thing about my wife was when she gained just over 50# with our firstborn, within 2 yrs her weight and figure returned. She just went about being a farm wife, and she was nearly the same as before. She told me before we married: “I’m not going on ‘the pill’, it cause high blood pressure, and water retention”. (it wasn’t a religious decision)
Then 3 yrs later she went through the process again, and within another 3 yrs she was back to former self again. She’s has weight swings upward maybe 10# since those yrs. I never said anything, and sure enough, she would lose it again.
**same weight and pants size as when I was a young man, grey and balding a bit and broken down from a harsh life**
I can relate to all of that!!
Her genetics and discipline has motivated me to stay in shape as well. She’s the diet overseer for both of us (especially insisting that we not take the poyzeen poke) and kept us pretty healthy all these yrs. A real blessing!
“Did he ultimately move the unsaved closer to Christ or push them further away?”
People who hear about the moral standards of Christianity and are “pushed away” are probably not in a position to be saved anyway. The Holy Spirit needs to do more prep work at least.
Besides, scattered seed needs rain, sunshine, time, and the blessing of God to grow.
Dear Penthouse, MY Mail Box has suddenly been......
Read the article? Even after this poster actually posted the most pertinent parts in his excerpt, rather than just a sentence or two of prelude and maybe with some advertisement with such. How dare you break tradition and thus post an informed reply?! I do not know what is going to happen to FR if this keeps up.
" I notice the pastor is hammering them for doing the very thing they claim men do. Their hypocrisy is stunning."
Indeed. And which is why they are so upset. Double standard.
Which means this moral man of God qualifies for being labelled a hateful, gynophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, oppressor.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (Mark 7:21-23)
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:43-48)
Women dress sexy in order to attract desirable men.
Women will become very offended and upset if an undesirable man dares to approach them and initiate communication.
A man will not be certain of which category he is in until the woman displays offense or not.
I don’t care what they pretend to be outraged about. They’re communists.
