At 40 I had an English evangelist say to me "you've fought every man haven't you." I didn't bother telling him no, I was trained to be obedient to authority, it's they who end up fighting against me. The fact that I remain single and refuse to take the woman offered up is something they don't understand. But I met my first love in Sept 76, but because I was spiritually blind, I failed her. She is the only woman I've ever had a love for. It will do me no good to try and make a new relationship with someone else because I know the words written in the scriptures that I will hear, "because you have forgotten your first love I have ought against you." So I have to remain single like it or not. Last time I saw her was May 78. Sept 20, 2028 is the next Shmita and 50 years since I last saw her. Will the Father give me a year of Jubilee and restore the love I lost 50 years before, I don't know. My love for her is the fulfllment of Rachel I have loved. Reply

The pyramid is narrowing down toward the top. It's tough to find your soul mate when traveling too often. Reply
