Conversational Prayer-Sonnets and Scriptures

March 21 ~

... you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Your aim must be that any of them who refuse to believe will be won over by the conduct of their wives, without a word being spoken ... Your beauty must be the beauty of your inner character and personality ... of a gentle and serene character ... for in God's sight that is what is really precious ... This was the beauty with which once upon a time consecrated women, whose hopes were set on God, adorned themselves. They accepted the authority of their husbands ... For a husband is head of his wife as Christ is head of the church, for he is the Saviour of the church, which is his body ... Husbands, you must love your wives, as Christ too loved the church and gave himself for it ...
1 Pet.3:1,4,5 (Bar); Eph.5:23,25 (Bar)

Oxymora - 2: Feminine Feminist

A Liberationist she's proud to be!
She oozes Sex Superiority
whilst sacrificing Femininity
upon Pride's altar. Whence Nobility
of Character? Alas, Banality
now rules the roost! And Domesticity
hath fled, along with the Capacity
to Truly Love. Demure Humility
now's been replaced by the Hostility
of Self-Defensiveness: "Don't tread on Me
– on Poor Hurt Precious Me!" cries she
whilst seeking Headship and Ascendancy
till she doth rule the Man and Family
... then gets divorced and lives Licentiously!
