I may have (dare I say it?) solved my audio quality issue… I’ve posted another recording of a parable from my collection. dalestromberg.substack.com/p/whilst-thi...

Words: Whilst This Machine Is to Him. My tin dad vs. my meat-and-bones dad. From “Good Morning Turnkey”, the fifth thirteenth of my collection Melancholic Parables, this is the fourth parable.

4/ Jesus used relatable elements like agriculture to make his teachings accessible. This enriched the meaning of his parables. #contextmatters#biblicalcontext#readtheBible#biblereading#readincontext#parablesyoutu.be/EFVBHFbagb8

When I asked them (one of whom is a Mexican immigrant) about Trump's "poisoning the blood" comments, they did quite the pivot. Turns out "poison" meant "less virtuous" and "blood" meant "constitution". So I guess Trump speaks in coded parables. Wish I had that 10 minutes of my life back.
