I remember when I entered, I was told I'd have to leave behind mother, brother, etc. for Jesus. I didn't realize it was the same on the way out of that space.
I shouted at them to put her down and leave her alone. She said stop.
Even added no means no. They stopped and they were silent till i left. She did look at me and said thanks.
I'm disappointed. These are teen volunteers at a Christian family camp.
#SheDeservesBetter
At family camp waiting for our boat ride and notice 4 teen boys taunting a teen girl on the dock.
One jokingly tried to push her chair in the water. She said to stop.
Then all 4 tried to pick the chair up to toss her in while she screamed stop. They didn't.
Update: i reported it to the camp director who wants to speak to me more about it and said they take reports like this seriously and all parents will be called.

That's awesome! My nicu baby that was supposed to die, or if he lived was supposed be hooked to machines with sever brain damage, but he turns 12 next month and with nothing wrong.
Well friends, I fumbled through words and my shaking voice, but I did speak up about Genesis 3:16 and women at my men's group. It was silent and then there was laughter. I tried ๐

You'll never know the shame you heap on men who trust that you know Scripture but are none of the things you say a man is.
I am really thankful none of these are requirements for following Jesus, because if they were, I'd never make the cut.

In no specific order:
Transparent finances
Transparent decision making
Intentionally dispersed authority
Clear listing of affiliations
No autotune
Trauma informed
The 'least of these' are a regular priority
Justice
Community involvement
It wasn't fun seeing has at $4.25 yesterday. Thankfully Costco was still $3.96.
But I'm also thankful that my kids can sleep in their beds, we have an abundance of food, and we don't have to flee to another country for safety.
Small price to pay.
@DefendTheSheep
Thank you. The camp director told me he has already spoken to the girl and her parents and that she is okay. He's talking to the boys, too.
Great conversation with my daughter while doing her nails. My wife, on the other hand, was like, 'do my toes wench.' just kidding. I offered.
Anyone know how you do the tips a different color? I tried.
Am I doing manhood right?

Well, this is the pup. He is precious beyond words.
Bucky is still on the name list.
Cinnamon and Sugar came up because of his looks. Sugars for short (as our dear friend Cheryl, a southerner, used to call her pup and all sweet things).

I'm being forced to decide between these cuties. Both are roan, male, and have a 'therapy dog' temperament. Different litters of an excellent breeder. Apparently 'both' is not an option.

. 9.5 years and my email was shut off before we hung up. No one called. Even people from my church who work there. Gave them 120% of my life. Stood up to a bully, and was gone.

I've been in the evangelical world since 1999 and married since 2006. I learned more helpful stuff from Sheila's tweets and a few of her podcasts this past year about being a better lover than what I've been told by every Christian man since 1999.

Maybe I'm Complementarian in the streets and Egalitarian in the sheets. I do the laundry and cleaning for my family of 8. Is it because I was a FACS (Home Econ) Teacher or because I'm not a slug? What does

Likewise, in college Navigators, us guys couldn't spend too much time with a woman or hug her or anything lest her weaker heart get attached and we destroy some man's future wife. We had to protect our sisters' marriage thirsty hearts.

I'm only about half way through. Maybe she'll double down on procreation in the second half. So far, it really hasn't figured very prominently in the argument.

Very cool. Watch out for asbestos, mold, lead, and more. I used to be a facility director of 3 old schools that looked like that. Built like tanks but there is a reason schools let them go! Too expensive to detox.
1. Learn about submission.
2. Boost attendance sales to pay speakers.
3. Attend with husband so he has his methadone.
4. Connect with TGC approved women.
5. For singles to marry.
Having trouble with the rest of the reasons.

I don't know. I wait till some extrovert comes along and talks to me. Then I overshare and try to push them away if they are nice.
If they stay, I guess that means we are friends. If they go, just figures!
I should write a book.

This is the Laundry room my wife built for me! So awesome having laundry on the second floor. She still needs to put trim down, but it's usable.

Women Talking on Amazon Prime.
Given the conversation of how women are treated in many Christian settings, I highly recommend this changing film. Power dynamics examined. So much to say. You just have to watch.
@rickpidcock
I used to be a FACS teacher and would show 9 to 5 to start the discussion on 'issues in the workplace' in my careers class. How can you be mad at Dolly or Lilly?
Always launched great conversations and questions.
@garonnevik
I like him.
I'm not some amazing catch, but when I was single, I wanted to find a woman with some substance to her. Like opinions and strength of will.
I'm fortunate she stooped to my level and said yes.
@laurchastain22
We can learn a lot from midwives. We had the same midwife for 6 births and 7 pregnancies. Even during the last pregnancy, before every checkup, she asked 'may I touch your belly?' And during labor, 'its a good time to check, may I...'
@KaylaBKind
Having coffee. Laughing.
I drove to the next block over and stopped because I couldn't breathe.
That was about 6 years ago and I can still feel it. I'm 40.
I'm sorry.

Thats a nice idea. I like the idea of the families affirming the union to support the new family.
What about escorting her down the isle and stopping to have her greet my mom and sister, then hug/kiss on cheek and let her walk up.

@joeycochran
I wasn't even thinking about diversity. I was drawn to hospitality, connection, and what looks like joy. The guys in ties don't look like people who would come to the hospital to visit me, or teach children's Sunday school. They look more like a Puritan reenactment; posers.
My son's dog, Samwise, was hit by a car. He's gone. I watched it. I held him till his heart stopped. I'm not okay. Edmund isn't okay and I don't know how to be a dad. I can't stop crying. This is the last photo I took of him.
@laurchastain22
Like, this woman is practically family. My wife was always like, 'your hand has been inside me at one point' and yet she always asked. โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Now I miss my midwife.
Whispers to self: this is not a reason to have another baby.

@morgancjerald
I know. I was always fun at meetings when people wanted me to lie about indoor air quality for covid and how the 3 schools had horrible air. No filtration, conditioning, or movement.
Again, there's a reason the public school abandoned them and the stupid private school for them.
I did it! I passed C213 Accounting for Decision Makers! I am still shaking a little bit from the exam. But now off to get a Lego out of my 2 year old's nose and take the 10 year old to swimming.

This morning I learned, via text, I'm judgemental & criritcal of others, and that I don't know what they are going through. And that it takes a lot of emotional & intellectual energy to talk to me so I'm not offended.
This was the response I got asking for help to honor women.
@DefendTheSheep
I studied Family and Consumer Sciences, the first man in the program, and I became sympathetic to the vulnerability lack of education could mean for a woman. Aside from your situation, the many 'displaced homemakers' had to rebuild alone.

I fear for the classical movement that is influenced by Charlotte Mason. There are so many great habits and educational insights, but it sets up its own authority structure, and it isn't patriarchy. In the Habit of Obedience, children are to "obey immediately and completely."
@LauraRbnsn
Is this how your parents 'gave' you away?
My little sister asked me to give her away at her wedding. Our dad died a few years ago. I'm trying to think of a way to do it that doesn't make her a possession. Any ideas?
