I started watching "Seinfeld" when it was "The Seinfeld Chronicles". Then I mostly stopped watching TV just as it was becoming hugely popular. I wish I could say I was ahead of the curve, but it was just life and coincidence and stuff.

Daylight Savings Time has ended. (Yes, it ended because it happens from early March to early November.) Election Day is tomorrow. Go out and vote, not because it's more important than ever. It's never been any more or less important. It's always important. So please do it. But please don't keep telling people it's more important than before becuase that just annoys people and makes them not vote.

Stumbling around a little more, no more prepared than I was last week despite thinking I might be. It's a couple days before Halloween, and I have no costume. No big. I'll be working anyway.

I'm trying to relaunch the podcast and actually do it on a regular basis, hopefully sometimes with guests. I talked a little politics but mostly about how we accomplish nothing with the way we talk about politics. So if you want to be a guest, forget the politics and talk to me about your life. And please hit me up and be my guest. I would love to hear about your life. Also, check out Eliezer Tristan Publishing (www.eliezerpublishing.org) and their first book, "100" by Norb Aikin (link below). After I finished recording, it occurred to me that they have published other books as well that I completely failed to mention. I'm sure Sarah Fader will talk about them when she comes on my podcast. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1949351009/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Purity Culture With Scarlet Virgins Author Rebecca Lemke

Play Episode Listen Later May 20, 2017 68:34


21-year-old Oklahoma native Rebecca Lemke grew up in a tiny conservative homeschooling community. The virtues of modesty and purity were a large focus of her childhood, and while she believes that they are wonderful goals, she has learned firsthand that the manner in which they are approached can be the difference between life and death, both spiritually and physically. Rebecca has a heart for the victims of spiritual, mental, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. As the result of her deep-seated belief in holistic living, which includes holistic spirituality and sexuality, she strongly advocates for Christ to be our ultimate focus. With her book, The Scarlet Virgins, she takes on the deceptive lies of legalistic purity culture with intimate vulnerability and love. Find out more at www.scarletvirgins.com.
