Nice!
Here’s one: “You’ll find the old Eve living somewhere between the Law-afro and the Gospel-afro.”

You have captured the dichotomy aspect of the “do” that mine missed! But I think we should both be worried as the only ones who have seen fit to engage in this exercise. O well, mental health is not all it’s cracked up to be.

…And Julia, in her own peculiar way, took Isaiah 53:6 (All of us like SHEEP have gone astray) in an entirely new direction…

Or,
1 Thessalonians 5:8
But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on… the hope of salvation as a [bifurcated] helmet.

“Her attempts to justify herself by keeping the Law only served to increase the trespass. But Christ freely imputed to her his righteousness, which has produced the firstfruits in her, transforming her from the inside out (her roots!).

Julia paused, astonished that the gospel message meant that the phylaterie she hid under all that hair really wasn’t saving her.

PZ– Since my German is limited to beer brand names, could you provide the ignorant with some translation?

Oh, that you would rend the afro and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!

Drake says:

For when I want it to stand up it is flat, and when I want it to be flat it stands up…Who will rescue me from this hair that I cannot control? Praise be to God through the hair dresser with big muscles and a magic afro pick.
