Wednesday's Third Hour

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of His purpose, He guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Key Words: Promise, Greater, Swear, Oath, Unchangeable, Hope, Anchor Keystone Verse: We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. (Hebrews 6:19) Download Bulletin

Homeless Couple Calls 911 on Bigfoot ACTUAL AUDIO 'I'm dead serious': San Antonio homeless couple calls 911 to report Bigfoot sighting San Antonio police have released a 911 dispatch call reporting a "Bigfoot" sighting. SAN ANTONIO San Antonio police have released a 911 dispatch call reporting a Bigfoot sighting. The audio recording between a dispatcher and the homeless couple lasts more than eight minutes. In it, the primary caller appears sober and deliberate as she describes the beast Nov. 30. And I know you guys are going to think I m crazy, but I m dead serious, she says on the recording. This big thing was 75 feet away from me, smelled awful, devoured a whole deer carcass, and then took off and screamed, screeched, and took off across the street I m going to tell you right now, I ve lived in the woods six years. Swear to God, I ve never seen nothing like this. I m 6 feet 3 inches; it s bigger than me, said her 63-year-old husband. The couple claims the creature walked upright as it carried the deer carcass off into the woods. Police reports indicate dispatchers sent an officer by the location that night, but he found no sign of the couple or the beast. The callers said they were living in a tent in the woods in northwest San Antonio, near the intersection of Highway 151 and Loop 1604. The area has acres of wooded terrain surrounding it.

More postgame coupling commences. A new horny monster is revealed. (nonhuman)By keyan88. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.The water cascaded off the combatants bodies as their battle continued. Giving Dmitri a sexy smile she knelt down in front of him. She looked in equal parts wonder, amazement, and lust at Dmitri's rigid tool. Her sapphire eyes meeting his, she lifted her gargantuan chest to encase his cock. Dmitri let out a soft groan as he felt his cock be swallowed by tit flesh. She smiled as she began to move her tits up and down his cock. Each time the head peaked above the mounds of flesh she graced it wish a teasing lick, or slight suck. She skillfully began to alternate pressures and speeds, the changes slowed Dmitri's pace to orgasm which allowed him truly experience the pleasure only a goddess could give.He groaned again as she mashed her tits to his groin and noisily slurped his cock. Freya let her tits go and started sucking in earnest. She Licked up and down his shaft and twirled around the head. Her eyes never left his as she went about her task with the utmost enthusiasm. Dmitri felt the boil of cum deep in his balls and knew he was going to come soon.“Freya, gonna come”Freya just smiled as she looked up at him. She once again grabbed her tits and returned them to their places encasing Dmitri's cock. She once again began hefting them up and down.“Cum for me, Dmitri.”Dmitri groaned as he felt cum racing up his shaft. He watched as his seed spewed from his cock in copious amounts. Freya moaned as she felt her face be painted with Dmitri's come. The first shot flew straight into Freya's waiting mouth and the next few splattered against her face, with some even reaching up to her hair. They were followed by lower velocity shots that still managed to cover her bountiful tits in cum.Dmitri watched happily as Freya began to clean herself of his cum. She gathered it on her fingers before lewdly sucking it off her fingers, enjoying it like one would a delicacy. Afterwards she stood up and without hesitation Dmitri drew her into a kiss. After kissing hard for few seconds Dmitri broke it and stared at Freya.“I didn't think you would kiss me like that after I just had your cum in my mouth,” Freya said,Dmitri smiled, “My dad always told me that if a woman is willing to do that for you, you better damn well kiss her after.”Freya let out a small chuckle, “Did he say anything else?”Dmitri chuckled slightly, before turning serious, “He said that I can sleep around as much as I want, but one day I will find a girl. And this girl will be my soul mate. And then I asked him how I would find this girl? He said that I will someday, I would lay eyes on some random girl, and know instantly that she is mine. And afterwards he made me promise that when I do find her, I will never let her go.”Freya was thoughtful for a sec before responding, a small amount of surprise in her voice, “You think I'm that girl?”“I know you are that girl. And I'm not going to let go,” Dmitri said with a small smile.Freya was quiet for a few moments. During her hundreds of years of life not a single other sentence hit her like that one did.“Swear to me; swear to me that you won't.”“"I swear, Freya, you are mine.”Another moment of silence passed between the two of them before their faces split with grins. With mutual consent their assault on the others mouth resumed. They attacked each other with the ferocity of starving wolves. The battle hotter as Freya jumped up and wrapped her legs around Dmitri's waist. He cupped the two globes of her perfect ass and stepped out of the shower. The battle took a brief pause as he had to reach around to shut the water off but was quickly back in full heat.Dmitri walked to his bedroom, the weight of the beauty he as carrying seemed negligible to him. As he shoved the door open the couple broke their kiss and stared hard at each other. Freya spoke up,“Fuck me, Now!”Dmitri quickly obeyed the command and set her down on the bed. He guided the tip of his cock to her entrance. Freya wrapped her legs around him, trying to get him to enter her as soon as possible. With the force of a freight train he shoved his cock down to the root inside. With little warning, Freya was shocked silent with the feeling of being split like never before, but after a few moments to collect her shattered thoughts, she screamed her pleasures to the heavens. Dmitri didn't give pause as he slid himself out and rammed himself back home with all the strength of before. The sound of flesh crashing against flesh quickly filled the room as Dmitri conquered his lover's soul.Dmitri grabbed hold of Freya's hips, pulling her into every thrust, making her cry out in overwhelming pleasure every time. Freya's juices began to seep from her cunt to soak the bed sheets under them. Dmitri continued to plow away at the goddess, with seemingly no care for her screams. Freya's fingers clutched the bed sheets in a death grip as she attempted to survive the ordeal she was in right now.“Oh, Fuck Me!!” Freya screamed as she was sent hurtling over the edge to orgasm. Her honey sprayed out of her so splash against Dmitri's groin. Dmitri didn't slow down as he continued to pump in and out. Loud, animalistic grunts were coming from Freya with each massive impact Dmitri was giving her. Dmitri leaned down and conquered Freya's lips with his once again.Freya wrapped her arms around Dmitri and pulled him tight to her, flattening her breasts against his chest. It seemed as if Dmitri could hold up this pace forever. Dmitri couldn't have been happier, here was finally a woman that could take all he had and give it right back. Some couples when they first have sex it is full of gentle caresses and sweet nothings, but this was an animalistic, primitive, and passionate as sex could possibly get. With a practiced move Freya rolled the two of them so that she was on top. She broke the kiss and leaned back, giving Dmitri and absolutely stunning view of her bouncing tits as she began to ride him.She raised herself up so that only the tip of Dmitri's cock was inside her, and then forced her way down to the root. Each plunge was accompanied by a moan that conveyed every feeling of satisfaction and pleasure she was receiving. Dmitri began to roughly knead her tits, paying no mind to gentleness or skill. He attacked them with unrestrained lust. Freya was quickly approaching her second orgasm of the night. The feeling of her tits so roughly being mauled in combination with the feeling of a colossal cock splitting her was quickly rushing her over the edge. With a banshee's wall of passion she screamed her release.He honey wept down her legs, soaking the bed down to the mattress she only broke her pace for a second before resuming it. The feeling of entering Freya's warmth again and again was not one Dmitri would grow tired of in thousands of years. Her strength was evident as she was tightening her core to make the feeling of entering her all the more pleasurable. They both once again to grunt like animals in heat once again. Dmitri leaned up and captured one of Freya's rock hard nipple sin his mouth, where he sucked on it like a man dying of thirst. His other hand was busy tugging, twisting, and pinching the other nipple.“Oh, my god,” Freya half moaned and half screamed as the new pleasure wracked her soul. Dmitri began to thrust upwards, meeting every plunge Freya made with one of his own. The massive slap of each meeting could be heard from miles away. Dmitri had above average control compared to most men, and even with his previous orgasm he could feel another one churning deep inside him. He thrust up harder and harder, seeking his own release paying no mind to what damage he could cause to Freya. Freya could also feel the next orgasm convalescing deep within herself as well. She could feel the urgency in Dmitri's thrusts and then she played her trump card.She tightened her core as much as she can, and with hundreds of years of experience she increased the pleasure for Dmitri tenfold. Dmitri let out a surprised gasp with the new feeling. It quickly sent him hurtling over the edge and he felt the floodgates loose. They both screamed in mutual bliss as Dmitri sealed their union. Freya's massive orgasm was set free as she felt Dmitri cover her insides with his cum. Shot after shot came from Dmitri as he emptied himself into Freya's depths. Freya collapsed against Dmitri's chest, utterly spent.After resting for a few minutes Freya moved to get off Dmitri but he held her firm,“Don't move Freya, it's time for sleep.”Freya tried to procrastinate telling him of her monster girl status, but she could do so no more. “Dmitri, there is… something I have to tell you,” And so she outlined her tale, first of how she was a monster girl and how she got here. Then of her centuries of life as the queen: She told him of all the good times she had, of all the colorful residents of her kingdom and of life at court. But she also told him about the bad times, of how she watched all her human friends and family slowly die and disappear, and of how she was the last surviving member of her family. Of how even though she had various partners and flings, she spent the last 400 years relatively alone.She finished with, "And now I met you, and like you said Dmitri; I'm not letting go.”Dmitri was quiet for a second, trying to come to terms with the story just told to him.“Well, that is by far the most interesting pillow talk I have ever had. But it's of no consequence, in my eyes it's just a bonus. Now, it's time for sleep,” The thought never came to Freya that Dmitri would ever reject her, so this sentence came of no surprise to her. After one more kiss they both settled in for the night, Freya still lying on top, perfectly at peace.And although the words were never said, there was as love between them as any that had ever walked under the sky. Freya finally felt complete and the centuries ahead didn't seem so empty anymore. And for Dmitri, he fucked a queen. How many other people can say that?Suffice to say, this was the best walk home from the rink that Eric had ever had. In the past 2 days he had gone from virgin, to fucking possibly the 4 hottest girls in Boston. He walked slightly behind those very 4 girls right now, trying very hard to look ahead and not down at the variety of perfect asses in front of him.The girls' joyous mood was evident as they walked down the street, their peals of laughter and loud exclamations drew the eyes of many passing motorists. After a few blocks Lilith turned around,"Why is the man of the hour walking behind us? Come on lead your harem home!”Eric smiled, “I'm enjoying the view from back here, Lilith.” Lilith just laughed, and her already sensual gait became downright obscene as she walked down the street, the two perfect globes of ass jiggling with each step.“What a slut,” Bella said under her breath, Christy and Stacy stifled giggles at the comment."What was that, Bella?” Lilith asked.“Oh nothing” Bella replied. Lilith just shrugged and continued walking down the street, her gait not changing in the slightest.Stacy turned to Bella; “I've been meaning to ask you; where in the hell did you learn to punch like that? The guy didn't even see it coming.”Bella smiled, “It's a long story really, and my mom taught me some for starters. Also, I'm stronger than I look.”“Sheesh,” Stacy reviewed. “I'll say, that guy will be lucky if he remembers his name when he wakes up.”Christy piped in, “She's always protecting us, it's basically all we keep her around for ” She was caught mid-sentence by Bella firmly slapping her ass causing her to yelp with surprise.The group erupted in laughter at the expense of the grumbling Christy, who was rubbing her now stinging ass.“Now I'm hurting; carry me, Eric,” Said a slightly cranky Christy. And before he could say something in reply, Christy had jumped on his back, making him give her a piggy back ride."Sheesh, I do all the work around here don't I?” Eric said. He was not burdened by Christy at all, he would be surprised if she weighed much over 100 pounds at all.“We pay you with amazing sex, I think it's fair,” Lilith stated in a matter of fact tone.Stacy was shaking her head off to the side which Bella noticed, "Whats wrong?”Stacy looked at the 4 of them and said, “God this is so weird. At the store you said you shared him, But it just seems so weird.”Eric looked at the girls, because he had no idea what to say. From over his shoulder he heard Christy say, “I can see why you would think that but trust me, it works fine.”“Still unbelievable” Stacy said, but she let the matter rest. Seeing his apartment in the distance Eric increased the pace, eager to shower and spend another night with his girls. A few minutes later he opened the door to his apartment and the group poured inside. Before he could say a word the girls had proclaimed the couch theirs so he had to sit all alone on a chair off to the side. After a few minutes break Eric stood up,“I have to shower, I'll be out in 15.”As soon as Eric closed the door and turned the water on Lilith turned to her sister's they each gave a small nod and all 3 then turned to Stacy,“We have a surprise for you, now close your eyes, and don't open then until we tell you,” Lilith said. Stacy smiled and complied. After making sure her eyes were shut tight the girls changed back into their natural forms. Bella's tail made a soft thump and Stacy creased her brow, trying to figure out what it was. After finishing up the transformation Christy leaned in close to Stacy,"Whatever you do, do not. Freak. Out. Promise?”Stacy started to open her eyes but Christy quickly covered her eyes with her hand, “Promise me Stacy.”“Uh, fine, ok!”After casting one last glance at her sisters, Christy removed her hand. Stacy opened her eyes with a smiling face, which quickly turned to one of shock as she looked around the room. She rubbed her eyes a few times, the image of 3 very naked monster girls was not vision which one saw every day. She then opened up her mouth as if to scream. Christy quickly clamped her hand across Stacy's mouth to silence her. She held her finger up like a mother scolding her child,“Stacy it's us, and you promised not to freak out. Take a few seconds to gather yourself and then speak up.”Stacy nodded her head and Christy removed her hand. Stacy closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths in order to calm her racing heart. After a few seconds she opened her eyes again,“This is weird. Like what the fuck is going on!?” Stacy nearly shouted.“Hush, calm down Stacy, we'll explain everything,” Lilith said. And so they did, they told Stacy of how they came to be here. They said of how much they loved Eric and of how much he loved them."And well, there are two things we really have to tell you. Firstly, You are now part of our little family here, so you have to kinda keep this a secret.”A very befuddled Stacy nodded her head, “But what's the second part?”Lilith looked at her, “The next one is kind of a bombshell so be ready. You are a monster girl.”Stacy broke out in laughter, “This whole thing is crazy, but that is really fucking insane.”Lilith sighed, “I knew you were going to say that. But one of your ancestor's was a monster girl. I can't tell what type, but hear me out. It's very rare for a monster to give birth to a human baby but it has happened. But they're still technically a monster girl; their other half is just repressed. And it doesn't diminish like genes normally would, forever onwards all females in the family will be half and half. For hundreds, if not thousands of years that half in your family has been repressed.”Stacy shook her head, “That's insane Lily.”Bella stepped in now, “Why don't you let us prove it?”“How would we do that?” Stacy asked, obviously doubtful.“Simple, we would just transfer some of our energy to you, the small amount of magic in our bodies is enough to break down the wall holding your monster half back. Trust us Stacy, and this has to be a consensual thing, it won't work if you don't want it to. ”Stacy was quiet for a second, “Will it hurt?”Christy smiled, “Not at all, so you ready? You're gonna feel great afterwards! But first get naked.”“Uh; Ok fine, let's do this,” Stacy said stripping. The girls stood up and stood around the lone human in the room. They each placed their hands on one part of Stacy or another, Lilith placed her hands on Stacy's head, while Bella touched her back. Christy placed her hands on Stacy's front, where she gave one of Stacy's breasts a quick squeeze which brought a small cry from the girl. Afterwards she gave Christy a small glare which drew a giggle from the cat-women."Close your eyes Stacy and we'll start,” Lilith said.Stacy complied and the room grew quiet except for the sound of the shower. Stacy felt the hands of the girls grow warm, than almost scalding hot. But before it could cause pain it stopped growing hotter, she felt the warmth move throughout her body. She gasped as she felt something break deep inside her, it was the same feeling of when someone sits down after a long day. A feeling of total relaxation, as if some hidden part of her that was always under pressure was set free. All of a sudden the feeling stopped and Stacy opened her eyes.Everything appeared sharper, clearer, more in focus than before. She could make out the words on a newspaper that was across the room. She could smell things she had not ever noticed; she could even detect traces of the shampoo Eric was using in the air. She could hear the sounds of the girls heartbeats. She turned to the group of monster girls,"Do I look different?”The girls looked at her and smiled, they pointed to a mirror that was hanging on the wall. Slowly, scared of what she might find. After a few agonizing moments she finally laid eyes on her new form. Looking at her from the mirror was best described as a dragoness. Her eyes are what caught her attention first, the green they were before was now a forest green, and the pupils had turned vertical. Most of her skin was now covered in green scales the same color as her eyes; they thinned out and disappeared altogether when they approached her chest and stomach. Her face and front of her neck was bare as well. The skin that wasn't covered was now a flawlessly smooth. Her teeth were now small, sharp fangs. She looked at her hands; they were covered with scales as well and ended with small claws. After that she looked down at her legs, her feet now had only 3 toes, and each ended with a claw like her hands. She let out a gasp when she noticed the massive wings that protruded from her back. She reached her hand back to touch them, to see as if they were real. She saw a small tail idly swing behind her; it was thin and ended in a small barb. It suddenly clicked in her mind and she turned to the group of monster girls next to her,“I'm a monster aren't I?” She didn't know whether to be giddy with excitement or cry. The girls noticed this and all enveloped her in a deep hug,“You're a monster girl, Stacy; you're one of us,” Bella said protectively."And not to mention your ancestor was sexy as fuck,” Lilith said, Lust starting to creep into her voice.Stacy didn't know what to say, what to do, or even anything for that matter. She just melted into the hug, relying on the girls for support. They all looked up when they heard the water shut off, Lilith spoke first,"He's coming, quick Stacy strike a pose,” The three original monster girls formed a wall in the hallway, blocking Eric's view to the living room.When Eric stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and saw the three of them, each very naked, in their monster girl forms, he knew something was up. "What did you do? I swear if you did something to Stacy.”The girls smiled at him and Christy spoke up in a voice filled with joy, “We have a surprise for you!!! Now close your eyes.”“You better not have eaten her” he was cut off.Lilith, giving him a slight smack, said; “Shut up and listen to us for once okay?”“Sheesh, fine, Okay, ya don't have to hit me,” He closed his eyes, dreading that the girls didn't do something stupid to the poor human girl. He felt them grab hold of him and he let them lead him into the living room.They stopped him and Lilith whispered in his ear, "Okay open your eyes.”He opened his eyes and he nearly had the same reaction as when he first saw the girls in his room a day ago. Standing in front of him was a dragoness just as beautiful and sexy as Lilith, Christy, or Bella. She was striking on of the sexiest poses he had ever seen. She had one hip cocked out to the side, just far enough to show a hint of her outer lips. She had her hands covering her smallish-breasts, with one finger touching her lips, giving her a slightly pouty look. There was something familiar about this sexy dragoness. Then the realization dawned on him, but no it couldn't be,“Stacy!?” Eric exclaimed loudly.“How do I look?” Stacy said, as flirtatiously as she could.“What? How? When?” Eric started blubbering, at a loss for words.The rest of the girls crept up behind him and Lilith spoke directly in his ear ,“You have to bind to her too, you know. It's going to be one. fun. Night,” She accentuated each word with a nibble on his ear lobe. "Now let's go to the bedroom,” And the 4 girls started dragging/pushing him into the bedroomHelpless against the onslaught, Eric surrendered himself to his fate. He soon found himself literally being tossed onto his bed. He managed to right himself and found himself staring at his girls. They were standing in a line at the foot of the bed, each entirely different, but each oh so sexy. And they were all his.They crawled onto the bed, each with a hungry glint in their eyes. Christy reached him first and quickly enveloped him in a lusty kiss, their tongues new to each other only a day ago, resumed a dance already familiar. Eric felt 3 sets of hands approaching his rapidly hardening member and groaned into Christy's mouth. He lifted his head and looked at the 4 pairs of eyes looking with keen interest at his member.Lilith turned to Stacy, "You get him first, welcome to the family.”Stacy shook her head, “I want him last. You guys have your fun first.”Christy turned to Bella, “You had him last the first time, you can go first now.”Bella licked her lips, “I'll save some for you guys, don't worry,” And without another word Bella swiftly wrapped her tail around him. She raised herself up and carefully positioned the tip of Eric's cock at her entrance. She gave him a small wink before descending.Eric groaned loudly as his coke was once again encased by Bella's amazing pussy. He felt movement off to the side and opened his eyes. He was just in time to see a wildly grinning Stacy position her steaming cunt above his head. "Eat me Eric,” The mood was kind of ruined when she accidentally poked Eric in the eye with her new tail."Ow, watch where” Eric was cut off by his mouth suddenly being covered by sweet pussy. With a sigh of surrender, Eric began lapping at the offered cunt, savoring the taste like a gourmet delicacy.Bella began to moan as she raised herself up and down Eric's shaft, moaning in ecstasy as she felt it split her again and again. She grabbed her two sisters and pulled them to her pebbled nipples, “Come to mama.”Lilith and Christy knew just how amazing Bella's milk was so they eagerly accepted the offer. More and more moans escaped from Bella as she rode Eric. Lilith looked up and saw Stacy looking at the still sucking cat-women in a torn expression. One half was turned away by the thought of sucking milk form another girls tit, but on the other hand, Bella's dark nipples did look pretty appetizing. Bella reached up and placed her hand on the back of Stacy's head, urging her towards the correct course of action. Her resolve crumbling, Stacy leaned forward and took Bella's nipple in-between her lips. On the first suck she got her first taste of Lamia milk, it tasted; good. Bella moaned loudly when she felt Stacy really starting to suck on her engorged tit.Being the sex demon that she is, Lilith had just the idea to make sure everyone was getting their needs fulfilled. She grabbed one of Stacy's and one of Christy's hands and brought them to her neglected sex. Christy, with practiced fingers, and Stacy going off the natural skill that all monster girl's possessed, quickly managed to bring Lilith up to speed with the rest of them.After savoring the feeling of her pussy being so perfectly manipulated by two separate hands for a few minutes Lilith leaned up and gave Bella a lusty kiss on the lips. No creature, human or otherwise, can withstand the full force of a succubus's pheromones, which Lilith had just breathed directly into the snake women's mouth. Bella was immediately sent into a soul-shattering orgasm. The milking/sucking motion her orgasming pussy was making, drove Eric over the edge. He felt his balls empty themselves of their load into Bella's starved pussy.Due to the benefits gained from Lilith, every touch of Eric's tongue to Stacy's inflamed pussy sent a bolt of pleasure straight to her brain. The intoxicating feeling of the milk, as well as Eric's ministrations quickly sent her into a powerful orgasm. Her juices erupted from her cunt like a geyser and soaked Eric's face underneath her.The 4 of them were silent for a bit before Eric spoke up, “There is something I want to try. If you girls would be so kind.”“What is that?” Christy asked.“Get up and I'll show you,” The group shuffled around and Bella moved off towards the side,"Whats wrong, Bella?” Eric asked.“I'm done for the night; I'm going to just watch for now, maybe take a little nap or something.”“Alright”, Turning back to Christy and Lilith, Eric continues, “Lilith, lay down on your back. Here Christy ,lie on top of her face down,” He helped them into the position he wanted, suffice to say it is everyman's dream to have 2 girls half this beautiful in this position on his bed. Christy and Lilith were laying face to face, with Lilith's massive chest flattened in between them. Her wings were spread out to the side, half curled around Christy. Their perfect pussies were inches from each other, each dripping with arousal. Their combined juices were forming a wet spot underneath them.Christy said, "Can't believe we never thought of this before! Now Lilith, do that kissy thing, I wanna cum!”Lilith happily obliged the horny cat-woman and crushed her lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Small whimpers escaped their locked lips when Eric saw fresh liquid seep from both their lower lips. Eric moved forward and started rubbing his cock along each of them. They moaned and started grinding their hips together, each wanting to be the one penetrated first. Since Christy had gone first the night before, Eric had decided to grace Lilith with his cock. Lilith felt him press against her opening, find her, and then enter her. She moaned into her kiss with Christy, as he split her once again.Eric couldn't have been happier to be back inside Lilith's pussy once again. The oh-so-delightful spines in her seemed to pull him infinitely deeper till he drowned in pleasure. He pulled out and thrust himself back in, resulting in a sharp cry of ecstasy from the succubus. Eric started to pound away, happily obliging the succubus's need to be fucked. The sounds of flesh hitting flesh, in harmony with moans and cries of sex were a symphony that filled the room.Lilith could no longer hold the kiss. She broke it and moans began to come from her unhindered. Christy leaned down and started to nibble and lick Lilith's neck. She could feel every time Eric bottomed out in Lilith and prayed it would be her getting fucked so hard soon. Eric felt her tail wrap around one of his legs, urging him faster and faster. Eric continued to pound his succubus and he could feel her approaching orgasm. Just as she was about to reach it he pulled out. Some half mumbled protests came from Lilith but Eric ignored them. Instead he shoved his way into Christy, who gave a surprised cry as she suddenly felt herself being penetrated.“Oh, fuck; Eric!” Christy nearly screamed, simultaneously Lilith mumbled “no, put it back in.”Christy's mouth opened wide as Eric started to pick up speed. He grabbed the base of her tail and used it as leverage to fuck her harder and faster. Lilith could feel Eric's balls slapping against her cunt. It was just enough pleasure to keep her on the brink of an orgasm but not quite enough to send her over the edge; it was nearly driving her insane.Although Christy's pussy was different than Lilith's, her's was no less amazing. It was by far the tightest of all his lovers and brought indescribable pleasure to Eric. Being filled by Eric's throbbing tool was also bringing indescribable pleasure to Christy as well. Her mind was going numb with sensory overload, and was in danger of being reduced to a quivering pile of sex and fur before long.Just as she was about to reach orgasm, Eric pulled out of her the same way he did to Lilith. Also like Lilith she managed to form a half mumbled “no, but Eric also ignored her. He instead shoved his way back inside of Lilith who moaned with the feeling of being filled once again. He didn't stay long however because after a few thrusts he returned to Christy's pussy, much to her delight. But she was again disappointed as he went back to Lilith's. This was forcing the girls two steps towards an orgasm, but one step back as well. Both girls were nearly insane in this new tactic Eric had employed. Eric was not immune to the pleasure as well and he was quickly approaching his edge as well.After a few more switches Eric let loose his load. But instead of spraying it into either of the girls famished cunts he sprayed it on to them. Shots after shot of cum sprayed against their outer lips until they were bathed in it."Oh fuck” They both said, each experiencing a world of bliss.Eric, Bella, and Stacy watched in fascination as Christy and Lilith shifted their position. They ended up with their legs scissored with their cunts clamped in each other's legs. With knowing looks they started rubbing their cum-covered cunts together. They started to moan as they picked up speed, each seeking their release which was rapidly approaching. Each began to pull and twist their own nipples harshly in an effort to increase the pleasure. With shuddering cries they came simultaneously, their juices shooting directly onto the other's pussy. They froze in that position for a second, before collapsing in satisfied exhaustion.Eric smiled, it seemed Christy had a habit of falling asleep after sex as he had to pick up her sleeping form, cradling her in his arms, before handing her over to Bella who wrapped her in her tail, keeping her warm and comfortable. Lilith sat against the wall, with Bella leaning on her side, both were eager to watch Stacy's deflowering as a monster girl.Eric turned to the patient dragoness and smiled at her,“Come on, let's do this,” He held out his hand and Stacy took it without hesitation. The scales on her hands felt slightly cool to the touch, not unpleasantly cold, just cool. He hoisted Stacy up and helped her lie down on the bed. She spread her wings out. They were much, much larger than Lilith's. Stacy smiled as she grabbed Eric by the back of the neck and pulled him into a kiss. She was either much stronger, or less controlled than the other girls as Eric was harshly yanked down. He gave a small cry of alarm, but Stacy smothered it with a kiss and a giggle."Make love to me, Eric,” She said staring into his eyes."Oh I intend to,” Eric finished the sentence by pushing the head of his cock into Stacy's pussy. Where Bella's was strong and alive, Christy's was tight, and Lilith's was well, specialized, Stacy's cunt was searing hot. It felt like his cock was in an oven made of impossibly soft and wet flesh.He leaned back and saw this dragoness in all her erotic glory. Stacy gave him a smile that was full of emotion and wrapped her powerful legs around his waist. Eric began to move slowly, reveling in this new type of pleasure. Stacy began to moan softly; even this small movement was sending waves of pleasure through her body.Monster girls are geared for sex as they need it to survive, so they are hardwired to make sure they don't get bored of it. That, in combination with Eric's benefits was sending unique and new pleasure to Stacy.Eric grabbed Stacy's hips and started pulling her into his thrusts. He began to pick up speed and the sound of flesh softly impacting flesh was soon heard once again. Eric was taking great pleasure in watching Stacy's firm tits shake with every thrust he gave her. He couldn't resist, and leaned down to take one of her rocking nipples in his mouth. He used his other hand to play with the other one, pulling, twisting and pinching. This was assaulting Stacy's brain with pleasure and she wanted more."Faster Eric, Love me.”Eric leaned up and planted a searing kiss right on her lips. He began to hump faster and faster obliging his draconian lover's request. He picked up the pace but did not fuck her. He made love to her, letting each stroke, and each kiss transmit his love for her. Even though she had come late to the party, he wanted to make sure she knew she was not lesser in his eyes. Stacy began to roll her hips, matching Eric's thrusts. This action ended up grinding her sensitive clit into Eric's crotch.Stacy wrapped her wings around Eric; they felt natural to her now, as if they belonged there. Eric didn't mind as he was trapped in this cocoon of warmth and sex. They continued like this for many minutes never breaking the embrace or kiss. Eric came with a soft grunt, spraying his seed into Stacy's pussy. Stacy came just as Eric did, her juices squirting out of her to splash against Eric's groin. They laid still before breaking their embrace and looking at the other 3 girls.Christy had woken up from her catnap sometime earlier, and had a beaming smile on her face. All three stood up and joined them on the bed. They arranged themselves in a row of naked and wet flesh, to an outside observer it might not seem comfortable but they wouldn't have it any other way. After settling down Christy spoke up,“Welcome to the family, Stacy”Stacy smiled, “Thanks, but am I the only one who thinks Eric is getting the good side out of the deal, here?” The girls all had a quiet chuckle at that.Eric sighed, “You know it's not all good for me girls.”“And why is that?” Bella asked.“I'm going to need new sheets.”To be continued.By keyan88 for LiteroticaMay 21st, 2022 11:00pm story audio podcast tryst explicit intimacy lurid coupling virgin cuck swap marriage fling tale shor

We continue our "I Was Just Wondering…” series. All the sermons in this series are based on questions from LaGrave's youth. Next week's question is, "Is It Ever Okay to Swear?" Reverend Jonker will preach and his text will be Ephesians 4:29-5:4.

Upside Down Kingdom Pt. 9 Dealing With Your Word Matthew 5:33-37   Swear to the God ABOVE In most ancient cultures, to invoke a god's name was to say something about that god's character (Deut. 18:20). In Egypt, taking an oath in a god's name was binding, but as those gods didn't exist, breaking it had no divine consequences. Israel was allowed to take oaths in the LORD's name (Heb. YHWH, Ex. 3:14) but never falsely, rendering Him as also non-existent (c. 1440 BC; Lev. 19:12; Deut. 6:13-15; 20:10). Names are a picture of a person's personality, position, and power. Israel was to be a light to the nations about the true God (Deut. 26:18, 19). So, Israel wasn't to use God's name as profanity, which was blasphemy (‘to treat with irreverence or as common'). When God's name was uttered, especially in business or in reference to the truth of a matter, it was to guarantee authenticity and integrity. To use YHWH to lie (‘in vain') in business or in a legal matter, caused the harmed person to dishonor the true God and brought judgment on the violator (Ex. 20:7; Matt. 12:36, 37). Names represent the character of families, teams, cities, nations, and ultimately God. God's family is to represent their family Name well! Represent the God WITHIN By the time of Jesus (30 AD), Jews were using God's name in a way that devalued His character. To correct this, Jesus tells his disciples not to swear an oath by God at all. But they were to have such godly character that their words could be believed without an oath. Christians are ‘small-Christ' versions, in that they represent Jesus both in name and in action. Christians are the most like Christ when they resemble Christ the most! As believers have the true God living in their heart, they should be acting that way in the world. The God of integrity on the inside should produce believers of integrity on the outside (John 14:23; Eph. 3:17)! Words are an extension of a person both for good or for evil (Luke 6:45). Christians are to be ambassadors to a lost world that needs to experience the true Jesus through true believers (2 Cor. 5:18-20). True believers are the truest example of the true God when they truly act in truth (John 8:31, 32)! Lying and manipulation aren't from God. For Christians, their word should be their bond and their promise should be their guarantee—at home, at work, at school, and at play. For the Christian, what gets said is what gets done (Ps. 15:1-5; Prov. 12:22)!

“Our Hope Is In The Lord” Genesis 47 November 5, 2023 Pastor Tony Felich   Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Genesis 47:27 Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly. [28] And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were 147 years. [29] And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and promise to deal kindly and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt, [30] but let me lie with my fathers. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place.” He answered, “I will do as you have said.” [31] And he said, “Swear to me”; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.    Despite all the security and blessings this world seems to provide, the people of God should only put their hope in the Lord.      •       Special favor for God's people (1-6)      •       God's people as a blessing to the world (7-26)       •       Living as pilgrims longing for God's promise (27-29)

Talk 9 Mark 3:1-12 Defying the Pharisees and dealing with demons Welcome to Talk 9 in our series on Mark's gospel. Today we'll be looking at Mark 3:1-12. In previous talks we have seen how Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom of God (1:14-15) and demonstrating with miraculous signs his authority over demons and disease. In chapter 1 he casts an evil spirit out of a man in the synagogue at Capernaum, heals Simon's mother-in-law of a fever, and cures a man with leprosy, and in chapter 2 he heals a paralysed man, telling him first that his sins are forgiven.   We have also seen how his authority did not go unchallenged, particularly by the Pharisees, who understood full well the implications of the claims Jesus was making – his right to forgive sins, and to be the Lord of the Sabbath, which entitled him to heal on the Sabbath and to interpret the law of Moses very differently from them. Now, as we turn to the first six verses of chapter 3, we see Jesus once again antagonising his critics by healing on the Sabbath day.   Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shrivelled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shrivelled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone." 4 Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. 5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.   1 Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shrivelled hand was there. Mark doesn't tell us which synagogue it was, but it may well have been the one in Capernaum again. The man's disability would have made him unable to work, particularly if, as early tradition has it, he was a plasterer.   2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Bearing in mind that there are no chapter divisions in the original text, some of them almost certainly refers to the Pharisees who had challenged Jesus at the end of chapter 2. They had clearly rejected his explanation of why his disciples were allowed to pick grain on the Sabbath, and would have hated his claim to be Lord of the Sabbath. To acknowledge the claims of Jesus would have undoubtedly required not only a massive shift in what they believed, but also a complete change in their lifestyle. People who are unwilling to repent will often look for a reason to find fault with Jesus – or with his followers as we saw in the last chapter.   3 Jesus said to the man with the shrivelled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone." Why did Jesus say this? Did he want to draw attention to the miracle? By asking the man to stand up in front of everyone, he would certainly ensure that all those present would witness it. His miracles were signs validating his message about the kingdom of God and he longed for people to believe it. But at this early stage in his ministry, as we shall see later, it seems unlikely that Jesus would have called the man forward just to draw attention to the miracle.   Alternatively, from the question he asks next in verse 4, it seems possible that he did it as a direct challenge to the attitude and teaching of the Pharisees. What better way to expose their hypocrisy and to demonstrate the truth that the meeting of human need is more important than the ritualistic observance of the Sabbath, than to show his compassion by working a miracle of healing on the Sabbath day in front of the entire congregation?   But more probably, in my view, Jesus called the man forward for the benefit of the man himself. In the culture of the day, it would have been natural for people with disabilities to want to keep themselves hidden, partly because many people were revolted by any form of deformity, and partly because these afflictions were widely regarded as having resulted from personal sin. Here, as with the healing of the woman with curvature of the spine in Luke 13, Jesus' calling the person to the front was a declaration that their disability was nothing to be ashamed of, and their years of embarrassment were now over. It would also encourage their faith.   4 Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. So far the Pharisees have said nothing, but Jesus knows what they're thinking, so he anticipates their challenge by asking them a question. The Pharisees had so many man-made rules about the Sabbath that it was virtually impossible to do anything! But to do nothing when someone is in need is to do evil. If anyone knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them (James 4:17). Jesus was the only sinless person who has ever lived, and because he had the power to heal the man it would have been wrong for him not to do it. But he not only committed no sin, he was also never guilty of a sin of omission. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). Surely the Pharisees knew he was right, but they refused to admit it.   5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Notice the strong emotions of Jesus here. He is angry and he is deeply distressed. It's not wrong to be angry. It's right to be angry about injustice, about cruelty, about hypocrisy, about anything and everything that spoils the world we live in. And God is angry about sin because he loves us, and sin is the root cause of all that's wrong in the world.   But here Jesus is not just angry. He is deeply distressed. He grieves over the hardness of human hearts, yes, even over the Pharisees' stubborn hearts. His anger is mixed with love. He is distressed because he knows there is no hope for those who reject him. Hear the distress in his voice as he weeps over Jerusalem:   O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing (Matthew 23:37).   The simple fact is, we all have a choice. To believe Jesus or not. The man with the shrivelled hand was completely and immediately made whole because he chose to believe Jesus. The Pharisees were lost because they chose not to.   6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. We don't know why the Pharisees were so opposed to Jesus. Were they jealous of his popularity? Did they hate anyone who didn't agree with their point of view? Was their social position threatened by Jesus' radical teaching? Or did his responses to their criticism make them look stupid? Whatever the reason, their opposition reached a point where they began to plot how they could kill him. They were prepared to break the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments to defend their interpretation of relatively minor regulations regarding the observance of the Sabbath!   7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. 8 When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God." 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was.   7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. 8 When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon.   The Jewish religious may have rejected him, but crowds of ordinary people were coming from far and wide because they heard all he was doing. Miracles, especially miracles of healing, always attract a crowd. We saw in chapter one how, when Jesus cast an evil spirit out of a man in the synagogue at Capernaum, news about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee (1:28). The people brought to Jesus all who are ill and demon possessed (1:32). After the healing of the leper the people came to him from everywhere (1:45). In chapter 2 they gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left… (2:2). And so it goes on throughout the earthly ministry of Jesus.   And it continues in the book of Acts where, in 1:1 Luke refers to the record in his Gospel of all that Jesus began to do and to teach. Through the ministry of his disciples Jesus was to continue to do and teach as they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. Miracles like speaking in tongues and healings drew thousands under the sound of the gospel. And they still do so today, except where cynicism and unbelief are rife in society (cf. Mark 6:5-6 where even Jesus could do no miracles in his home town because of their lack of faith).   Of course, as we have seen in previous talks, although miracles may draw the crowds, they do not necessarily lead to repentance. Some come out of curiosity, others because they are desperate for a solution to their problem, but not all are grateful, as we see in the story of the ten lepers. So, what is the purpose of miracles? They demonstrate God's love and compassion. They manifest his power. They confirm the message of the gospel. They make it easier for people to repent and believe. And they vindicate God's righteous judgment on all who, having experienced them, persist in their refusal to repent.   9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. This is not the only reference in the Gospels to Jesus teaching from a boat. The reason given here is to keep the people from crowding him. It would also have had the added advantage that more than those immediately next to him would be able to hear his message. Living by the sea I have often noticed on a calm day how much farther sound carries over water than on land.   It's interesting, too, that the disciples still had access to a boat.  Perhaps Zebedee, the father of James and John was still in the fishing business. The fishermen had forsaken everything to follow him, but God still had a purpose for the knowledge and experience they had acquired before their conversion.  Our natural talents, as well as any supernatural gifts he may entrust to us, can be very valuable in contributing to the spread of the message of the gospel.   10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. Of course, Jesus was not afraid to touch or be touched by people with diseases. We have already seen how he touched the man with leprosy without fear of contagion. But we also know that he was able to heal at a distance, something well understood by the Roman centurion In Matthew 8, and the Syro-Phoenician woman in Mark 7.   11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God." Notice the word whenever. Jesus cast out many evil spirits, but they all, without exception, acknowledged who he was. And they knew that he had power over them:   What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God! (Mark 1:24 and Luke 4:34)   He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me! (Mark 5:7 and Luke 8:28)   They address him as Jesus of Nazareth, but they know that he is far more than a man from Nazareth. He is the Holy One of God. He is Son of the Most High God. They know that he has power to destroy them. As James, the Lord's brother, tells us, Even the demons believe.., and shudder (James 2:19). Had James been present sometimes when Jesus had cast out demons and seen them cower before him? We don't know, but whenever they saw him they fell down before him. And the day is coming when at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow… (Philippians 2: 9-11).   How did the evil spirits know who Jesus was? Because before Satan and his minions had rebelled against God and were cast out of Heaven they had known him as the Son of God through whom and for whom they were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers, or rulers or authorities, all things were created  through him and for him (Colossians 1:16). No wonder they shudder in his presence.   12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell who he was Jesus refused to accept the testimony of demons, even though what they were saying was true. Before we attempt to answer why, we need to bear in mind that it was not only demons that Jesus told to be silent. We've already seen in Mark 1:44 how he tells the leper he has healed, See that you don't tell this to anyone. In 5:43 he tells Jairus not to let anyone know about how Jesus has raised his daughter to life. In 7:36, after the healing of the man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, he says the same thing. In 8:30 after Peter's confession that Jesus is the Messiah, and in 9:9, after their experience of the transfiguration, he even tells his disciples not to tell anyone about him.   So, although, in the case of demons, Jesus may have ordered them to be silent as they were hardly reliable character witnesses, this would not account for why he told the people and his disciples to be silent. One explanation that's frequently offer to this question, often referred to as the Messianic secret, is that if Jesus were openly identified as the Messiah the people would have probably attempted to crown him as their king, which was not, of course, in line with the reason he had come.   This may well be correct, but in my view another explanation is far more compelling. It's clear that the restrictions Jesus imposed on his disciples were only temporary. In Mark 9:9, after his transfiguration, Jesus tells his disciples to tell no one who he was until he had risen from the dead. And in Acts 1:8 he tells them – and us – to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth.   So the restrictions he placed on telling others about him were temporary. But why? The answer surely lies in a combination of the two last points we have mentioned. The timing wasn't right for the majority of people to know who he was, because if they did, they would want to make him the wrong kind of king and this could disrupt the years of training the disciples would need to fulfil their role of spreading the gospel after Jesus had returned to Heaven.   But that leads us to the subject of our next talk when we shall see how Jesus delegates his authority to the apostles he has chosen and gives them authority to heal the sick and cast out demons.

This week is another episode all about bands playing other bands' songs… well one band in particular this time around. For those about to rock: we are paying tribute to the one and only; AC/DC! It only took a little thunder and lightning striking experience by way of Kevin's lack of electrician skills to prompt this appreciation!!! It may have taken a few years off his life, but at least we got this killer concept of an episode out of it. AC/DC is such a staple in rock, but perhaps these covers will put a new spin on their amazing songs!What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.Songs this week include:Hard-Ons – “Let There Be Rock (featuring Henry Rollins)” from Let There Be Rock - single (1991)Lemmy & Jake E. Lee – “It's A Long Way To The Top (The Mission UK Remix)” from Remixed To Hell: AC/DC Tribute (2000) Halestorm – “Shoot To Thrill” from ReAniMate 2.0: The CoVeRs - EP (2013)Saxon – “Problem Child” from Inspirations (2021)Razed In Black – “Hells Bells” from Covered In Black: An Industrial Tribute To The Kings Of High Voltage AC/DC (1997)Iced Earth – “Highway To Hell” from Tribute To The Gods (2002)Dynamite Boy – “TNT” from Punk Goes Metal (2000)Joe Lynn Turner & Phil Collen – “Back In Black (Die Krupps Remix)” from Remixed To Hell: AC/DC Tribute (2000)Living Colour – “Back In Black” from Collideøscope (2003)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

A nice Wednesday crossword and a debut (yay!) by Steve Weyer, with an inspired theme, some very funny clues, and as a bonus a reference to a fascinating 16th century algebra text, ARSMAGNA (The Great Art).

We live in a world where using four-letter words comes as second nature. While we may not see any harm in incorporating them into our vocabulary, God and the Bible might say otherwise.

*SPOILERS ARE IN THIS EPISODE*Today's episode is a BOOK REVIEW!! I tell you all my thoughts on some of the most popular books.. Say You Swear, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Things we hide from the light, Thousand Boy kisses and Unfortunately Yours. Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy: The book follows a group of friends, two girls and three boys, that have become family through out their school years and are now starting college. Through out the years or pretty much since they met, Arianna, our female lead, falls head over heels for her brother's best friend Chase, becoming her first love.Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a historical fiction novel by American author Taylor Jenkins Reid.  The novel tells the story of the fictional Old Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo, who, at age 79, gives a final interview to an unknown journalist, Monique GrantThings we Left Behind by Lucy Score: Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul. On a quest to erase his father's mark on the family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building an indestructible empire. The more money and power he amasses, the safer he is from threats.Except when it comes to the feisty small-town librarian that keeps him up at night…Sloane Walton is a spitfire determined to carry on her father's quest for justice. She'll do that just as soon as she figures out exactly what the man she hates did to—or for—her family. Bonded by an old, dark secret from the past and the dislike they now share for each other, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw his designer-suited body.When bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, these two find themselves not quite regretting their steamy one-night stand. Once those flames are fanned, it seems impossible to put them out again. But with Sloane ready to start a family and Lucian refusing to even consider the idea of marriage and kids, these enemies-to-lovers are stuck at an impasse.Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey:Unfortunately Yours is the story of Natalie, a down-on-her-luck Napa heiress and her offer to marry August, a man she cannot stand for a mutually beneficial relationship. But Natalie will soon realise that there's a fine line between love and hate and August might just be that lineThousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole:The story is about how the boy helps her collect her 'boy kisses', a task given to her by her grandma when she was young.

THE CONFLICT between Israel and Hamas continues with a ground assault of Gaza apparently imminent. We continue our review of scriptures that appear to prophesy a coming destruction of the territory around Gaza that was Philistine from the time of the Judges until the Persian conquest of the region in the 6th century BC. We learned this week that the chief god of Gaza, Dagon, continued to be worshiped under the Aramaic name Marna (“lord”, similar to Canaanite baʿal and Hebrew adonai) until the 5th century AD. As Derek showed in his book The Second Coming of Saturn, Dagon was the same entity worshiped under the names Saturn, Kronos, El, Enlil, Assur, and Milcom/Molech, all of which were connected to the netherworld and most of which accepted or demanded human—especially child—sacrifice.

This edition of Truth and Consequences featured a girl calling her girl up to say, "you need to quit messing with these sugar daddies", turns out she's not; how does she say she's getting these items? You'd be surprised, no one was expecting this.

Jana Riess grew up in a household where swearing was the norm. And she wonders if bringing a little of that spice over to our religious devotions might not kick things up a notch.

Study Passage: Genesis 25:27-3427 When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week.

If you have your eyes set on mastering the art of property investment and diving into the top 1%, you have come to the right place. Investing in real estate is like crafting fine art, and the best artists have their own set of secret brushes and techniques.   --> READ THE BLOG POST HERE https://myempirepro.com/blog/property-investment/   --> WATCH VIDEO VERSION HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i7LqqgglNE   Today, we are here to share those brushes with you. Firstly… Knowledge is Not the Key: Applied knowledge is the key. Experience is the key.  Acquiring experience (and not acquired experience) is the key. Successful property investors don't just dip their toes into the market; they dive in headfirst.  They don't wait until they are armed with a wealth of knowledge, but they also tend to leverage the power of mentorship.  Make it your mission to become a real estate connoisseur. Align yourself with a mentor who has experience as you start acquiring experience and not just immersing yourself in endless books, seminars, online courses, and webinars.  Those things are good, but you must know that you learn more from doing.  That's how you best learn about market trends, property values, financial analysis, and everything else under the property sun. Secondly… Location, Location, Location... Of course. The age-old adage in real estate holds true: location is crucial. The best properties are often located in areas with promising growth potential—think upcoming neighborhoods or regions undergoing development. Research local infrastructure plans, job opportunities, schools, and amenities. A strategic location can significantly bolster your investment's value over time. With that being said, what you need to know more is how locations affect valuations of properties and not necessarily the falsity of zero value when a location is not as desired as others. Thirdly, property investment is a numbers game: Numbers aren't everyone's best friend, but they are your ally in property investment.  You need to analyze potential properties meticulously. Understand cash flow, cap rates, and return on investment (ROI) calculations.  These figures aren't just for show—they guide your decisions and ensure you're investing wisely.  In fact, there are some more hidden numbers like insurance, interests, maintenance, property management costs, and etc.  This is also an area where a competent mentor becomes handy. Speaking of… The fourth thing I want you to do is to…  Build a Solid Network It's Who You Know, and not what you know.  Networking isn't just about swapping business cards at events. It's about forming genuine connections with professionals in the industry—agents, brokers, other investors, and even mentors. Accessible mentors, no matter how much they cost, are always cheaper than $10 books on the Amazon shelves. You might have to rewind that to process what I just said.  These relationships can offer insights, opportunities, and sometimes, that one deal that sets you on the path to the top 1%.  In this game, a numbers game, the next 10 deals might do a little better than breaking even, and the next deal after that might make you a profit that you've needed to get you to the next level.  I've seen this over and over in the past 18 years. In fact, the last 6 years have been all that to me personally, while the last 48 hours alone have made more impact on my business than the last 6 years.  I can tell you more about that later. The fifth secret: Don't Shy Away from Risks... Just Assess Property investment isn't for the faint of heart. Sometimes, you need to take a leap of faith. But here's the catch—make sure it's an assessed risk.  Assess the risks as you go without overthinking, weigh the pros and cons, and then take an informed decision. We all have to make decisions from limited information. You are not alone.  You shouldn't be alone if you have a mentor. The top 1% got there by embracing risks wisely. Last but definitely not the least; The Profit Comes from How You Buy. This saying has resonated with me since the outset of my journey in 2005, emphasizing a fundamental principle in property investment: you make your profit when you buy, not when you sell.  It underscores the significance of the purchasing stage, emphasizing that the success and profitability of a property investment are primarily determined by the buying decisions made at the inception of the venture.  By strategically assessing and selecting properties that align with your investment goals, financial capacity, and market trends, you set the stage for a potentially lucrative investment.  Essentially, this adage serves as a reminder to meticulously analyze the property, consider the potential for appreciation, evaluate the neighborhood's growth prospects, and weigh other critical factors before committing to the purchase.  Making a wise and informed decision during the buying phase is the key to reaping rewards in the realm of property investment. One of the Ways to Mitigate Risk Is Wholesale Real Estate: Your Gateway to the Top 1% It's time to talk about how wholesale real estate fits into this equation, especially for beginners aspiring to make their mark in the realm of property investment. Wholesale real estate involves finding deeply discounted properties and assigning the rights to buy them to other investors for an assignment fee; the profit. This strategy can be a fantastic entry point for beginners, allowing them to bring value to seasoned investors while making a name for themselves.
