Men get the Priesthood. Women get Babies.

Seventeen Tips For A Spiritual Sabbath

I’ve had some church friends (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) bend the rules recently on Sundays. I’m not judging but I think it’s pathetic. It’s their salvation though, or lack of. For me, Sunday’s are the days when I’m the most happy. …
