First of all, you're a real one, Matthew.

Second of all, now I gotta google me a Jael+Sisera roleplay. That's inspired.

Third of all, lingerie pockets?! Most inspired. You have understood the heart of a woman.

Spiciest hot take yet! Though sadly true, certain flava's of the Church do see anyone over the age of 24 as 'older'. Hence all those pictures of elders having a fine time on porches gazing at sunsets accompanying articles aimed at people in their 40s' and 50's....

A future hot take is needed on what to do when you're too 'old' for 20's/students (even if you're a mature part-time student, cos full-timers only) and too 'young' for the 'elders/seniors/wisdomers' group which starts around 55+. Where's your older seniors youth pastor when you need him?!!! (Hopefully not looking up something unmentionable in the Urban Dictionary!!)

This is the piece that got me to look up "pegging" on urban dictionary.

Don't do that.

God reminds me the path is wide to hell by having substack recommend your articles and seeing how popular they are

When I got married one very thoughtful gift to me from two married, longtime friends, was a pair of silk briefs. Male lingerie.

For 50 years I have told my wife to not bother with lingerie. What men want is what's underneath. But she says lingerie is actually for the women to feel pretty. I still laugh that she took her mother to help her pick out her honeymoon nighty.

I do have a concern for your observations about both married and unmarried women wearing lingerie at church. How are we supposed to know what's going on underneath the outside layers? I already struggle with setting my mind on things above.
