If the body of Christ had been reproducing as we were designed to do
But . . . but . . . but Christ didn't reproduce at all, at least according to all but the Gnostic texts. Isn't the body of Christ supposed to be Christ-like?

Pssst, Jesse loves ampersands!
I'm doing some Girl Scout thing with Casper tomorrow, and we will probably all go downtown to shop and have lunch (it is lit up and pretty). We're trying to get a sitter for Sunday so we can Christmas shop without the children. Bake cookies. Acquire almond flour someplace.

yeah...from what I understand, early Christians prized celibacy, not your own football team.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This weekend I will write, write, write, write, Girl Scout outing to nursing home, write, write, write, write, and then write some more.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This weekend I am skipping my group's holiday Christmas party, hopefully finishing Christmas shopping, and writing my Yuletide story.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A lot of them thought the end was imminent. As more groups got the idea "hmm... maybe not so much" various practices evolved.
I'm seeing lots of articles refer to the Duggars as Quiverfull and none where they say they are. Their stuff (info links on their cite, seminars they lead) seems to be mostly about living debt free.
Quiverfull is certainly not something they proseletyze, which seems unusual for adherents (from what I'm reading.)
That uncited quote in Wikipedia about not being Quiverfull appears in various places on the internets. It's likely been copied from the Wikipedia article.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No plans for the weekend as of yet. Maybe a concert on Sunday. The usual laundry and kitchen cleaning and football watching. Perhaps another visit to the "Christmas Market" down the street since it's open two weekends this year. Though I think it's supposed to be cold and grey and rainy all weekend, so maybe not.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This weekend I will clean my apartment, go grocery shopping, and do laundry. Maybe. Tonight, I'm thinking about making fettuccine alfredo. I might try making sufganiyot this weekend, but maybe not, since I kind of don't know how to deep fry stuff.
