Parenting: Teaching Children Respect
In light of the post “The Only Thing That Matters“, raising children becomes such an important thing to understand. Once we understand how valuable they are, and how the very future of a society rests upon them, we know how crucial it is to bring them up properly. It’s no secret that our culture is…

Biscuits, Breakfast and Beauty Sleep
You must know (I pray you know!) that I am a struggling, selfish woman, striving, however poorly, to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I blog to myself 🙂 I am also not a morning person…(remember the coffee grinder incident?) So yesterday, it came as a rather inconvenient surprise that the Lord spoke so firmly to…

The Only Thing About Parenting That Matters–Part 2
SO…. What’s wrong? Why are even Christians failing miserably in this area? Why are we losing our children left and right? Why are they growing up to abandon the faith, their spouses and their own children? We haven’t obeyed the Word of God. That’s all. Parents are given basically one command concerning their children:…

The Only Thing About Parenting That Matters-Part 1
All the little people you see running around–in your own house, at the grocery store, at the ball park–they are going to be leading this nation in about 25 years. I know, scary isn’t it. Our culture, in a word, is so short-sighted and self-absorbed that we are breeding our own detriment, and teaching our…

Perspective: One Reason Women Aren’t Keepers at Home
“…the world would sit up and take notice…because the love of Christ would come and take flesh and dwell among them again.” It’s all about perspective. It’s where you have your eyes. The feminist’s call to women has one message : “IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT.” The Lord’s call to women (and men) is…

8 Practical Tips for Managing Your Home
I won’t even pretend to be an expert on home organization. My friends will start to chuckle if I try, because they know I’m as scatter-brained as the chaff in the wind. This trait, however, causes me to look even harder for practical ways to keep things running more smoothly in our large family. I…

Mom and Children–A Management Team
If I only had a dime for every time a disbelieving woman has looked at me and said, “I can barely survive with two–how do you manage with seven? You’re a *better* woman than me.” No, no, no. There is nothing better, I assure you. I didn’t allow the Lord to give me a house full…

Connecting the Dots: Is Birth Control Just a Personal Issue?
This is important…I think it’s worth the reading and pondering 🙂 Everything’s connected…that’s my theory about how the universe operates. I think the scientific explanation says something like “for every action there is an opposite an equal reaction”…or maybe that isn’t it at all, but I vaguely remember something like that from Science class 🙂…

Having Babies & Birth Control: Man’s Wisdom or God’s Sovereignty?
This excerpt from a recent comment left by a reader on an earlier post (How Far Does Human Wisdom Go) gives opportunity to expound on some things regarding God’s wisdom versus man’s wisdom. Interestingly enough, her apparent anger comes as a surprise to me, considering that the post she commented on was very “questioning” in…

The Christian Life: Are We Living Deliberately?
Do we live deliberately? I am a deliberate person. I struggle with terms such as “mediocre, balance, middle, gray,” etc. I like to do things on purpose. I know this can be to my fault. I drive some people crazy. But I think I might be on to something… C.S. Lewis wrote: “Life doesn’t have…
