I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

The two saddest things about this guy is one what he is preaching and the second is that he is preaching....

What he is preaching is certainly not part of main stream Christianity. He is not speaking from the bible or from God, but from his particular narrow world view.

The sad thing is that he is a minister, and religious leader. He has no business being in this sort of position, and guiding anyone's religious beliefs.

I feel for the poor woman who was stupid enough to marry him, and for his sons and daughters, and their warped perceptions of their roles in a marriage, life and family.

In his sermon he said he and his wife "Didn't know much about each other"...That is about the only way I could see a woman marrying him.

Sure I am Em.

It's sort of like this...my wife and I use to enjoy a nice
cruise in the old Mustang. Bucket seats. Sporty little
car.

Now...she don't fit so well in the bucket seat, and refuses
to ride in the trunk.

So the Mustang is gone, to be replaced by the big wide
seat of a Cadillac.

***I've not made one serious comment about the so called
sermon, because I see nothing there that even begins to
make sense to me.

I married my wife because I loved her then, I love her now, and
I've loved her every day in between.

All that I am, I am because of her, and with her. We have faced
this world arm in arm as equal partners. And THIS is the way it
is in my world.

I did not marry her to stand behind me. I did not marry her to take care of me.

You should have seen the look of confusion on Terry's face when I said "Oh, so now I'm old eh?!?!"

I hope your doghouse is clean, cause that's where Terry's gonna be...

I think that it is interesting that this guy misses the attribute of a virtuous woman which is earning money from the work of her hands, and selling to the merchants. This means she works, as close to outside the home as you get 3000 years ago, to support her family. But of course most of the Proverb is allegorical anyway...so that part probably doesn't mean what it seems to.

Some people's view of God and Godliness is far to narrow.

As for the larger size saddle, every woman knows that it means the guy is saying her butt is fat. It is the logical conclusion. It goes along with the automatic worst conclusion gene, the one that goes "I have a headache, therefore I must have brain cancer".

Ah yes, logic.

Here's an example of logic:
Some dogs have fleas.
My dog has fleas.
Therefore, my dog is SOME dog.

My mother in law called it a parade butt. I assume it meant the part that sagged over the saddle when a woman rode her horse in the parades.

Oh, so now my butt is so fat it sags over the saddle...Keep going Ed...you're helping Terry immensely.
