Learning Trust One Word at a Time: A First Look at BDSM, Boundaries, and Safe Words Learning Trust One Word at a Time: A First Look at BDSM, Boundaries, and Safe Words Published: May 25, 2025 There’s a strange kind of silence that can creep in when you’re curious about something—especially if it’s about sex, kink, or anything outside the “normal” vanilla experience. For a while now, I’ve been wondering about BDSM—not in a full-throttle way, just... wondering. It wasn’t about chains and leather or Fifty Shades clichés. It was more about trust. Control. Surrender. The psychological space people talked about: “subspace.” What does that even mean? And could I ever feel safe enough to explore it? I wasn’t ready to have the conversation with my partner—not because I didn’t trust them, but because I didn’t trust myself to say it right. I didn’t have the vocabulary. I didn’t want to sound like I was asking for something they coul...

The Big Beautiful Bill - A Local Breakdown The Big Beautiful Bill – A Local Breakdown Hey neighbors, Here's an article straight from whitehouse.gov about the big beautiful bill the Trump Administration is pushing through Congress. I know a lot of you have been concerned and nervous about what's going on. I share much of your sentiment. At the same time, I understand that some of it comes from an impossible expectation that you be more informed than our founding fathers intended. Add to that the agendas pushed by modern media, and it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed. So I’ve marked up the article: Orange : Parts I am confident in and comfortable with. Yellow : Areas of concern, tricky linguistics, and wordplay you should be aware of. Below that, you'll find: A series of questions I’ve written up about specific policies. Underlined phrases that signal shifts in tone or agenda. In the botto...

Beneath Civilization: Bone Marrow, Kidnapping, and the Birth of the Human Story Beneath Civilization: Bone Marrow, Kidnapping, and the Birth of the Human Story Published: May 11, 2025 Maybe we should all just read the Bible—front to back. And then sit with Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Not to compare them like schoolbooks, but to tear the veil off our collective amnesia. Read Sapiens like it’s not a history book, but a mirror held up to a past we’ve spent 10,000 years trying to forget. Read it while imagining the brutal, unrelenting necessity of survival: sucking marrow from bones after the lions had their fill, stealing women and children to continue the bloodline, and calling it natural law. Before there was God, there was hunger. Before morality, there was mating strategy. Civilization didn’t come out of nowhere. It came after a long chain of desperation. And if we’re honest, much of it was built on trauma: rape, abduction, tribal c...

Biology, Love, and the Meaning of Fulfillment Biology, Love, and the Meaning of Fulfillment Published: May 11, 2025 Let’s talk plainly, without fear and without judgment. When the Bible discusses homosexuality, especially in passages like Leviticus 18:22 ( "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." ) or Romans 1:26-27 ( "God gave them up to dishonorable passions…" ), it has to be understood in its full context: one rooted in function, survival, and divine order—yes—but also in human frailty, culture, and reproduction. Every living organism on Earth—every cell, plant, animal, or insect—has a common biological imperative: reproduction. Life continues only when it replicates itself. This is the biological foundation for the traditional understanding of marriage: a union that sustains the species. From this perspective alone, it makes sense that heterosexuality would be framed as a “natural” order—...

The Sin of Blackmail and the Arrogance of False Judgment The Sin of Blackmail and the Arrogance of False Judgment Published: May 11, 2025 There is a sin that people rarely call by its name, but it poisons families, churches, and governments alike: blackmail. Whether it’s someone holding past sins over your head, someone weaponizing knowledge of your behavior to control you, or a so-called “Christian” trying to shame you into submission—blackmail in any form is a sin of spiritual arrogance and a false claim to divine authority. And don’t confuse this for “accountability.” Accountability is truth in love; blackmail is coercion cloaked in holiness. Anyone pretending they are authorized to wield God's judgment against someone else is deluded. Let’s be clear: if you think you’re righteous enough to act as the mouthpiece of divine wrath against another sinner, then you’re the one in the most spiritual danger. The Bible isn’t vague here: ...
