John Quincy Adams, when he discovered that both his father, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson had died on the 50th anniversary of independence on July 4, 1826, he believed it to be a palpable mark of divine grace.
“The time, the manner, the coincidence with the decease of Jefferson, are visible and palpable marks of divine favour, for which I would humble myself in grateful and silent adoration before the Ruler of the Universe—For myself all that I dare to ask is that I may live the remnant of my days in a manner worthy of him.”A blog for people who seek alternative approaches to kiruv and the baal teshuvah experience.

Pearly
talking about how christian leaders push men into marriage which often ends in disaster, just like in Orth Jud
read the comments from the men who thought they were marrying traditional women but are now divorced
bottom line, doesnt matter if a woman says she's against feminism, or says she's traditional
if she doesn't treat the man with respect
if she doesn't let him lead
if she talks behind his back
she is trouble
and that my friend describes 95% of women in the Western world
that she likes to cook (occasionally) doesn't make her a wife
what makes her a wife is if she likes to feed people

What happens when you die:
They divide up your stuff
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every drop out.
