I remember you mentioning that a time or two. LOL!

I've been arrested a few times, but always bonded out before they made me shower and 'examine' me. Besides, it was only for suspended license, and once I didn't pay my lawyer in the timely fashion he was expecting. LOL!

I have accomplished my dream of completing the schooling and licensing for my career and have worked as such for many years now. Doing that while being a single mother probably ranks up there with being a mother alone.

You have certainly excelled at being a mother, I would think, to hold it all together, and go to school at the same time! My hat is off to you!!!!!

And I was in for.....I ain't talkin'..... I remember I was wearing black velvet and the guys in the hold were whistling and asking if I wanted a cigarette. I'm thinking, "Do you even have teeth?" Then I get locked up with a drunk biker girl.

Regarding man=protector... suppose I were married and fully implemented Matthew 5:39. How then can I be a protector of my wife?

You would need to be led by the Spirit. That is what the spirit of the Lord is given to us for, to give us direction in difficult situations. There is not always a black and white answer for every situation we find ourselves in. There are a million scenarios that could change the outlook of this passage in different ways.

Hmm, more important to me is how they both prolly got the way they did.
