Jeremy Boreing of the Daily Wire says that he would have married with a prenup if he could go back and talk to his younger self. Is he correct that prenups will create a successful marriage? We added a new segment called "What's Happening on X?" where we discuss the latest trending topics or engagements I have had with people in the digital public square. This week we discuss IVF and the Pagans that keep finding their reason pointing to the reasonableness of the Catholic Church's moral teaching.
First - you talked about your first Catholic confession. Have you heard how Kris Kristofferson describes his conversion to Christianity and his first prayer of confession. He said he was confessing sins he didn't even know were sins. What a Hoot!!
Also – thinking about the priest in the gulag - - Seal training takes about the same human, bodily learning that those men endure, especially in hell week. The Brits have a special forces unit whose training is arguably tougher than the American Seals or Special Forces. The Israelis have special units who do things that no other military unit seems to be doing. Now, all of these men experience a training that pushes their bodily self-concept far beyond anything they could have comprehended previously. The point is that humans endure terrific, terrible situations both by voluntary decisions or by forced confinement into places that are far and away more difficult than most of us can comprehend. Obviously, the forced terrifying experiences are the most difficult. The men in the North Vietnam prison camps tell of horrible conditions. Men talk about being broken several times. The men in the Japanese prison camps tell the same tales. However, even though men would curl up in a fetal position and die, some the men learned to lean on Jesus and lived amazing lives and some of the men just toughed it out. The Nazi death camps tell similar stories and when American soldiers liberated the first Nazi camps, they tell of a trauma that was greater than what they had experienced previously in the war. This human experience is happening in current confinements in various countries and, no doubt, the captives being held by Humas will tell of horrors that rival any experienced previously by humans. The willingness of human to degrade and torture other humans has been the stuff of history. Our choice is how we respond to the situations we face. The stories of victory are indeed glorious.
Also - when marrying with assets that cannot be degraded, a prenuptial protects the resources that are necessary for the furtherance of the business.

Anyhow – just some thots.
