@william… The new ‘model’ now is femininity over masculinity. That goes directly against God’s design, and so clearly has an all encompassing effect. Femininity over masculinity is feelings over reality… feelings over truth and logic. Everything now is, if you tell the truth you get in trouble. Everything everywhere is like you’re dealing with a what…? That’s why society is a dumpster fire… feelings can’t trump logic and society still remain balanced/harmonious.
The notion of a flawless marriage or relationship is a myth. There's no set formula for success; what works for one couple may not work for another. Yet, I've discovered that there's always a way forward, even in the most challenging times. Five years ago, my wife and I encountered significant hurdles in our marriage that nearly led to divorce. Despite the adversity, we managed to weather the storm and emerge from it with our bond renewed and revitalized.

Barkleys friend gave him great advice. ✋ chasing a million dollars 💵. And feeling horrible when you lose. But limit yourself to 250,000 dollars 💵 win or lose and let’s continue to enjoy our stay. On a smaller level I had to 🛑 losing 500 dollars at the casino 🎰. And of course I won sometimes 1,200/ 700 but I lost more times than I won. And as those 500’s were adding up and I started thinking 💭. What more better things I could have done with my money. I now limit myself to 100 dollars. I leave all credit cards 💳 and other money at home 🏠. I’m soo much happier now win or lose.!! Maybe this advice will help someone struggling with a gambling problem.!! Barely is a real one.!!
Love Club Shay Shay’s interviews. Chile, we are all on the spectrum. Lol! Fr.
Charles is so wise, love you bro
Pippen will always be my favorite athlete EVER!!
But if you win 6 together and not just that, YALL ARE THE STARTERS winning 6 shooooot….. yeah yall brother status and more with the relationship. For life
Charles said this in a way that makes me hurt for Jordan and Scottie in a way I had never hurt before. Just really conceiving what has occurred as a result of Larsa dating Michael's son for the first time... as a basketball fan who loves that generation of ball players, this hurts. 😢
