Thoughts on the full sail /as we sail to Heaven's shores

Benjamin Franklin said "an expectant woman is like a full sail, purposeful and useful"


God sets the man in his sphere of influence, still and fits a helper suitable for him. To help him and to try the spirits that are around him. Like the cupbearer to the king, I'd say. This works on earth. You have all of these friends, in the garden and in the animal world, some are with you and some are enemies? Maybe. Was Eve trying the comradery of the animals to the human? Whether or not, we have their example of mess up as a rule. The enemy tries the weakest link and we eat together, or we do not eat, as a rule.

The woman seems to be the dipstick. You can tell the intentions of a subject or another, by the response of the women to it. The righteous culture encourages and empowers women to be discerning and undaunting. Undaunting in pursuits of right and good. God is breaking up the fallow ground and sets the flower beds and vegetable beds of families with His purposes for their usefulness with one another. Will we promote and encourage unity and peace and increase of godliness in this world? We have to adjust to the circumstances.
I did love that about Peter Marshall. He was not so stoic to see that those boys who were coming home and going off to their possible doom, did not need sermons about hell and the grave as much as encouragements to fight the good fight and that there is a good reward in the end. He made use of the church for the entertainment and quick marriages for those who were off to war and back again. That is the warfare of the faith in the society that we are given. Some people stand on a soapbox of certain do's and don'ts, that they believe work for every generation. God bids us to nurture young souls to know and to love Him, in the skin and in the culture that they are in. Fighting godlessness, is always the way. Seeing the pitfalls and guiding the youth to their life of honor.
The devil came to Eve...Has God said.
God comes to Eve...What have you done? Eve should have answered, I questioned your authority and your goodness. I thought on my own 2 feet and bought death for myself and the children that come after me. I went to the store and bought it with my own money. I didn't take my husband's credit card and I didn't even ask him, if it was alright. I bought death.
Christ came and bought life. The opposite, surely. No self will. No self aggrandizement. No self interest. Go to the life store.

God committed us in this dance of life, as humans. God has given the Holy couple a mission to life. He has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness. The breath of man, commits the way of, not just himself and the woman, either endorses and supports or breathes death into the project. In that way, the devil was not lying. You will know good and evil. You know that it is wrong to deliver the family into conflict, but you walk in self interest and buy death again and again and again. God tells the man to use her as the sail of the boat. Put her up on the mast and let the wind enfill her sails and keep her busy discerning and growing and doing, when she stops to think about herself and grows wanton, if her soul is not anchored, she will tear the entire mast off and sink the ship. Education in godliness is a must or the boats will wander through the seven seas and never find their destination. We are headed to life, honey. I can't see it, she returns. You don't have to see life, honey, you just have to stay filled with wind and do your duties and life will find us. I don't want to, she says and that is where the judgement comes in, and he will rule over her, either in unity or in the loneliness of trying to guide and find wind without wind. I cannot be the sail and the wind.
