First of all let me start by saying good afternoon people. I realize that men as well as the ladies may be reading these "insights" so I'll just say "people". However, I'm attempting to assist the ladies here because I realize that what's on my mind is in fact near and dear to the hearts of many women; married, single, and shack up out there (and to a certain extent, girlfriends of boyfriends).
On a side note, before I continue, let me just say right here that I have nothing against the shack up honeys who may be reading this. After all, you are just as committed to your man as married women are to their "legal" husbands. Your hearts are truly in this relationship, even though the church and state does not recognize it as "legit". In spirit, it may very well be more legit than at least half of the legal marriages out there (the divorce statistics sort of supports me on this). And as far as "God" is concerned that's all that really matters. Also, do you not know of the many females out their stressing out over their boyfriends? Why, there have been girls that have committed suicide over a failed boyfriend relationship. Did ya know that?
Now, you may have noticed that I had the audacity to say what "God" is concerned with. Well who would have enough nerve to make a declaration like that besides a prophet, preacher, or lunatic? Well, not that it really matters, but I've been a preacher in the church since the age of 15. Yep, a whooping and hollering, Sunday morning pulpit preacher since my high school days (I'm 45 years old now, married for 19 years with 4 kids, a granddaughter, and grandson). While in high school, by the way, I was preaching abstinence. That sort of changed in my first year of college when I lost my virginity to my "girl friend" (do guys really have that; you know: a virginity) let me get back to you on that. Any ways, over the years, I've done a lot of studying about man's version of "God" through bible courses in theology, homiletics, apologetics, comparative religious studies, etc. I even have an "honorary doctorate" from World Christianship Ministries out of Fresno CA. Thus, I call myself "doctor" so you'll sort of respect my "wisdom" (Aw come on now, I'm not the only one). Yeah, I know Michael Salvage wouldn't respect that but so what.
After years of "experience" not only in the word but in life, I've learned that God speaks through everyone and everything. An ant can be a prophet sent from God if you have ears to hear. And I've spent the last five years or so away from the pulpit so that I could get a chance to "hear". You know, sometimes we spend so much time speaking for God we don't give ourselves a chance to hear from God. That's why Moses and Jesus had to get away and go to the mountain and wilderness for forty days. So God could tell them something. Well I believe God is trying to tell both women and men something through this blog.
Let me be honest and frank here; this blog is designed to be blunt and real with you; no baloney. My goal here is not to be "religiously correct" with you. You've been fed enough crap already; need I continue the tradition? I don't think so! You have no obligation to agree or disagree with the "wisdom" here. It's just meant to put something on your mind; give you something to ponder while driving or cooking. Have you noticed, for example that in spite of religion's attempt to get you to believe that God "commands" or "requires" you to do or be anything that God never "makes" you do anything? Why not? God certainly has the power, ability, and authority to. Perhaps our ways aren't really getting on God's nerves as much as we say they are. Otherwise something would have been done about it by now.
Well, much more could be said about that, but for now, Why do men cheat? What is the truth? What would God (or I) like you to know? I hear the question: Do ALL men cheat? No, not all of them do, but many of them; enough to cause a great deal of misery, broken hearts, broken homes, broken dreams, broken finances, and fatherless homes. Oh and ah, by the way; the ones that don't cheat due to religious and conservative training are either gulping down Viagra in order to generate artificial excitement, or having prostate problems due to sexual inactivity caused by marital "boredom" (some have called this "minimized sex drive" due to low testosterone levels; trying to be nice). Is there anything that women can do to change things? Are men just evil; destined to be dogs? Is there hope for your man, your marriage, your matrimonial arrangement? I think I may have some answers that may shock you, maybe make you mad, piss you off, but may also help you and give you an edge and some understanding.
Stay tuned; this is gonna get very interesting.
