(Note: I wrote this post in 2017 and never published it. Maybe too personal at the time? But perhaps it could encourage someone reading now, so I decided to publish it.) It was night and you know problems loom larger at night. But this wasn't just any problem. It was an ongoing, keep-you-up-at-night, "I don't know ...

In no particular order, instead of making new year's resolutions, I've been working on a list of simple things I'm doing to make this year better. I am a simple girl, I love simple changes and I don't want to feel overwhelmed by resolutions I know I can't won't keep. Health There's nothing like aging that will make ...

Teach it to your children... Family and marriage are institutions designed by God--they are not man-made. Perhaps then, we shouldn't be surprised that the family is becoming an enemy. Who would have ever believed there would come a time when society would be hostile to what has always been considered the basic unit of its existence? ...

"Do you see that the church is completely dependent on what is taught in the homes of its people? Likewise the civil society is also dependent on it. What has happened over the last 50 years is that self-discipline is no longer being taught in the home, either because parents are not ...

I missed Kay Arthur's message at the True Woman Conference. (That savvy little thing in black boots cannot possibly be 76 years old!) It sounds like I probably missed the most inspiring message (though they all were). Here is a snapshot from the True Woman Blog of her call to women: "Kay began the evening by ...

Just when I thought I had covered every inch of the issue of birth control, Rebekah Curtis proved me wrong with this brilliant piece published in Touchstone Magazine. I contacted the author for permission to reprint and she graciously granted. I hope it provokes your thoughts the way it did mine. Unbelievably good. I read the ...

These words by Spurgeon provoked me to tears...and repentance. Psalm 109:4 But I give myself unto prayer. "Lying tongues were busy against the reputation of David, but he did not defend himself; he moved the case into a higher court, and pleaded before the great King Himself.
