Who would I have been without breaking my mother’s heart?
A god fearing, child bearing wife of a man who I don’t know. I would’ve held my heart to my husband and he still would have not seen who I am.
But in this world I didn’t break my mothers heart.. I tore my mother’s chest open and pulled out her organs. I’m in awe that she still loves me…
I’m sorry mother.
I couldn’t live without the woman I wake with in bed. She can only hear my breath and know what thoughts fill my head.

Unrepentant
By Bud Koenemund (Written: December 2022) For Lindsay Lady, I do confess, my desire For you turns bestial. My thoughts border On the profane – lust burns like a fire – While reason collapses in disorder. The more consumed, the faster madness grows, And I can scarce trust my own intellect. In the end, this passion will overthrow My mind as hunger amplifies unchecked. For concupiscence, I ask no forgiveness. Unrepentant – holding appetite No sin – I seek salvation in excess When your flesh provides heavenly delight. I pray; bless my body and damn my soul Eternal; for I will you e’er extoll.

Sinner from birth
Psalm 51:5
Behold, I was brought forth in guilt,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
We are sinners from the very moment we come to be.
We are all sinners—and not just that, but born sinners. As D.B. Harrison said, “the most adorable infant that is born into the world, enters this world with a heart that is an abyss of sin and evil and is in desperate need of regeneration by the power and Spirit of God.”
We are all “born this way” because once Adam and Eve first sinned, they introduced sin into this world (1 Corinthians 15:21; Romans 5:12), which has been with us ever since.
Biblically speaking, there are two types of sin: the ones you do willfully (Hebrews 10:26), and the ones that are done without a heart set out for it (Leviticus 5:17). And in both cases, the response is always the same: repent of your sins (Psalm 32:5).
So many of us allow culture, family, friends, movies, TV, music, and whatever else it may be to shape how we talk, how we dress, think, and how we behave. Until we start seeing nothing in this life is worth conforming to besides Christ, we will never truly grasp what it means to repent and be born again.
Understanding this simple statement here from king David, that we are indeed born sinners, is absolutely essential to understanding why so many people will rather live for themselves than for Christ. We are all born with our “default” mode set into sin. Sin is our natural state and it takes putting on Christ, to be born again and become a new creation, to have a different “default” setting.
If someone is truly born again, they will be a totally different person than they once were upon having conformed to His image. Woe to the ones who say they are in Christ while looking exactly like unrepentant sinners.

John’s Inquiry
(Luke 7:18–23)
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent two of his disciples 3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Jesus Testifies about John
(Malachi 3:1–5; Luke 7:24–35)
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 8 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces. 9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is the one about whom it is written:
‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You,
who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence,h and the violent lay claim to it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to one another:
17 ‘We played the flute for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge for you,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her children.”
Woe to the Unrepentant
(Luke 10:13–16)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago inp sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum, which is lifted up to heaven, will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Rest for the Weary
(Luke 10:21–24)
25 At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Your posts prompted me to look up the harkness test. I now feel I must tell you of my profound need to bleach my brain.
Haha, sorry! Today you found out I’m a monsterfucker 😈
EDIT: but I also just wanna say for the record: I’ve seen folks quibble about some of the specifics of applying the Harkness test, but if we look past the letter of the “rule” to the spirit in which I’m pretty sure it was intended, the question the Harkness test is really asking is “is this creature you’re thirsting over a person who can consent?” which is a valuable one, and I appreciate it.
