Matt you are too funny. Couldn't wait to see what image I was gonna see when I clicked on image of "your children's Mother". Hope your Mom, MIL and wife all have a beautiful Mothers Day. My Mom always used to say, " everyday is Mothers Day". I was the youngest of 6 and I believe it!

Well, dang. That was such a great sales pitch that I'd buy a subscription for myself if I didn't already have one. And, if my mother were still alive, I'd get her one--and she'd probably tell me that I was going straight to Hell for reading something other than the Good Book. If she were still alive and an Evangelical for Trump, hell, I'd probably shoot myself.

There’s still time to buy her one! It doesn’t matter where she ended up. Slack Tide is just as good on the other side.

Matt, do you have eternal subscriptions?!

Also, heads up- just noticed a slight typo.."And if you don’t much care for you mom".

"She gave birth to a son, a male child, who 'will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.' And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne." (NIV)

I'm blushing, Richard. Though I have no intention of ruling the nations, with an iron scepter or otherwise. I just want to run my Substack. (Better hours.)

Fair enough- maybe you can count yourself among the rest of her offspring..."Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus."

You should be pleased that Slack Tide is not something that only a mother can love.

A good thing, too. Since I make no assumptions that my mother does love it. (Though she is a paid subscriber, God love her.)

I might be drunk (it is, after all, 1:50 on a Friday), but I'm not stupid. I had the mother of my children sign off before hitting "send."
