But because of our fallen nature we are bent to feed our soul with the “dust” which cannot satisfy. However, deep inside, the spirit man longs for something more, and we read in Ecclesiastes 3:11 from the Amplified Bible, “He also has planted eternity in men’s heart and mind…” We were created for eternity and with an inner cry for fellowship with God and His abundance. Being born into the natural world, it pursues the things of the flesh and the surrounding world as the Psalm says, it “clings to the dust”, the body and fleshly lusts. ![]() ![]() But there is also a deeper message here, the soul being the part of man that manifests the will, emotions, and feelings that dwells between the spirit and the body an order, expressed by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, and it will align with that from which it receives its source. ![]() The Amplified Bible reads, “My earthly life cleaves to the dust” and in the physical world this could apply to all that are born into it passing away in death. “My soul clings to the dust” (Psalm 119:25) from the Hebrew definition we learn that the soul is a “ breathing creature”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() OL1894081W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 95.83 Pages 698 Ppi 514 Related-external-id urn:isbn:0393320278 Urn:lcp:embracingdefeatj00dowe:lcpdf:e6e298b5-452b-4ce2-b326-affd207ca73b Extramarc University of Toronto Foldoutcount 0 Identifier embracingdefeatj00dowe Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t2x35m478 Isbn 0393046869 Lccn 98022133 Ocr ABBYY FineReader 8.0 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.11 Ocr_module_version 0.0.14 Openlibrary_edition Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 14:58:05 Boxid IA119721 Boxid_2 CH100901 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City New York Containerid_2 X0001 Curatenote shipped Donor ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They release fluid that lubricates your vagina (makes it wet) when you’re turned on.

Historical romance takes a bit of research (even when you’re playing fast and loose with historical detail). ![]() ![]() I have some thoughts on why that might be, although none of it is particularly scientific. While it’s true that finding queer (particularly f/f) romance novels isn’t as difficult as it used to be, it’s interesting to note that there are far more contemporary queer romances than historical queer romances, particularly in traditional romance publishing. Most notably, the last five years have seen an explosion of queer romance in traditional publishing, and that’s really encouraging, even if my insatiable taste keeps demanding MORE. These days, romance novels have expanded from the classic clinch covers, and we’re seeing loads of diversity when it comes to characters, time periods, and settings in romance. It used to be that when someone said “romance novels,” those two words conjured up images of mass market paperbacks displaying illustrations of straight white couples from a vaguely historical time period clutching at each other. ![]() |
