We as humans are gifted with the fact that we are so short sighted and are seldom not in awe when things happen to us that may be out of the ordinary routine, whether for good or bad. Blind sided though we are we also demonstrate remarkable resiliance. I am part of that resiliance and am here to help, through my writings and through discussions with the reader. So sit back, buckle your seat belts, and enjoy the ride.

There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc part34
When God uses women, there is an element of accountability that also rings true for men. God uses women as an example to demonstrate the accountability that we all have. Never is this more true than in Genesis 3:16, in which God tells us that because of Eve’s actions, there will be suffering in childbirth and rulership of the husband. And this would hold true for future generations of women, not just her. Please understand this is not original sin but for sure because women and men were no longer in the Garden of Eden, the consequences of Eve’s actions could be felt. Rulership was also evident in Esther 1:20, especially in the relationship between men and women outside of Christ or in Esther’s case outside of the Hebrew religion. King Ahasuerus definitely ruled over everyone including his wife and all were to treat him as Lord and master. This is difficult for women today to understand because they feel liberated; nevertheless in the grand scheme of things men are still protectors over women and still rule. This doesn’t mean control, but in making governing decisions within the body, in making those decision which involve maintaining existence men rule over women. Women take care of the house and training the children in their roles
