Hey, Aquila?

What does this picture bring to mind?

SLAVERY?

SERVITUDE?

[Aquila]

Wow... some of these old pics I haven't gone through in years... I believe this was Jackson Zoo in Mississippi...

The point is, we both prefer to work. Our lives are full and our kids are healthy, intelligent, and happy. And I have ensured that my kids aren't living in a ghetto. Their friends are all solidly middle class kids too.

Christina's pictures from Amsterdam and Brussels aren't in my folder.

I don't take any offence and I know you aren't saying what you said to be offensive. The trouble is that we have a culture where women don't want to be house wives. They are programmed that it is a bad thing and it makes them lesser. All this equal rights stuff has shaped people's thinking. You may not see it but this has a lot to do with the rise of transgenderism, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, etc...

By what you describe of your family I don't doubt that you are good people. I am sure you help the community and do a lot of good. The thing is we cannot be good enough. The left is not all bad with their end poverty, end hunger and save the environment views, but it is when the ends justify the means that is the problem. We must obey God even though it may not be culturally and politically correct.

Maybe you can't find it because you have a pair of feet in your mouth.
Making it hard to see while you scroll through photos?

I think a biblical woman does far more than just manage the home and raise kids....

Proverbs 31:10-31
10
[d] An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
11
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12
She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13
She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14
She is like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar.
15
She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
16
She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17
She dresses herself[e] with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19
She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20
She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
21
She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.[f]
22
She makes bed coverings for herself;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23
Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24
She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
26
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27
She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29
“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
30
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.

Yes, Aquila wants to end poverty but doesn't want poverty living anywhere near him.
