Hello everyone! I'm a 20 year old lady currently in courtship with a 20 year man. We have agreed to be married when he finishes his psychology degree. I told him I wanted to a fulltime homemaker, psychologists in the USA make enough money to support both of us on his income. God willing, everything will happen in time, amen.
A lot of people say that women are allowed to become homemakers in Christianity, and some even said that women shouldn't work outside the home at all! But I disagree because the Proverbs 31 woman clearly has a job outside the home. But there is also the Titus 2 woman, so I thought that women have the option to be homemakers or career women. But then I read 1 Timothy 5:8 NIV, which says:
"Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. "
Does this apply to both genders?
There seems to be four options:
-
Women should be homemakers (1 Timothy 5:8 only applies to men)
-
Women have the option to choose between homemaker and career woman
-
Women can only be career women (1 Timothy 5:8 applies to both men and women)
-
Women have to be both career women and do all the homemaking, which is no doubt quite a daunting task.
Which option do you believe it is and why?
“Every so often off-worlders fall from the sky.”
“Why do they do that?” Alpaca interrupted.
“I don’t think they do it on purpose,” replied Grey Hummingbird, eyes incredulous at her interruption. He continued, “They fall from the sky and sometimes they even survive the landing. Some of those off-worlders who survived the landing even manage to set up little colonies, and some of these colonies manage to turn themselves into fortresses that can project power across Old Mirach.”
“So what are we checking on the new arrivals for?”
“Because today’s group of new arrivals is tomorrows’ Moonrise Place.”
“And we buy medicine from Moonrise Place?”
“Exactly.” Grey Hummingbird said. Their task was to wander through the Redwing Plateau and Cerga hills, searching for off-worlders who had survived the crash. It was to be a daunting task, bandits like the Brutal Legion or the Blunt Rocks Gang scoured the hill as well.
“Will I get to see Moonrise Palace?” Alpaca had heard stories of Moonrise Place. A city carved from a mountain of marble and inhabited by a group of polyamorous aristocrats! What more could a girl want from a colony?
“We will almost certainly stop by Moonrise Place. Who knows we might even get to see one of their legendary parties.” A glimmer of a smile danced across his face, “But that’s not where we’re going first.”
“Where are we going next?”
Grey Hummingbird didn’t answer and Alpaca’s speculation ran wild through the night and into the morning. Could it be a drug farm? She wondered while hunting a rabbit. A member of the Imperial gentry? She speculated while eating. Perhaps even Aussie Miller and his band of insurgents? She imagined as she lay awake in her sleeping bag, watching the stars pass overhead.
They arrived the next morning at a colony that amounted to little more than a series of sloppily built wooden walls, a small wind turbine, and what amounted to an oversized shack. The colony was eerily quiet and the stink of muffalo wafted through the air.
“Ironhead?” Grey Hummingbird called out as he knocked on the dilapidated wooden wall. No one answered so he knocked again harder. Still no answer, but a portion of the wall collapsed into softwood.
“Ready your spear.” He said softly as he slowly drew his club and stepped through the breach in the wall. His steps were as quick and silent as a panther’s. Alpaca tried to emulate them and did what she thought was a pretty dang good imitation.
They made their way to the door of the sha
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hi everybody! So I gave myself a reading challenge based off the 50 states: For each state I'll be reading a work by an author born in said state, a poet (all native Americans poets. I couldn't find poets for a few states tho so I instead went with a native american historical nonfiction for the states I couldn't find), a fiction, a nonfiction, a historical Nonfiction, and a young adult novel. So in total I'll be reading 6 books for each state. It took me a good while to find all the books I wanted for each category but I've finally done it!! That being said, I had the thought that it might be fun to get another category going- suggestions or favorites from everybody on here. So would everybody give me their suggestions of their favorite books set in each state, or just books that you think would fit perfect with this challenge, please and thank you!! I added my list below. It's a long one!

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
[Removed]
There hasn't been a post all year!
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
And then shook his arm really fast.
(True story, please groan with me.)
You take away their little brooms
