Please understand, that I want to be sensitive to those…

What a Lovely Description of Motherhood (told by a husband)
John Mark Reynolds is another one of those writers who just has an uncanny ability to say ordinary things in extraordinary ways. This is a snippet of one of his tender observations of his wife…. “We all grow old. I was marveling at this fact to Hope, still the Fairest Flower in All Christendom, when…

Pardon the Interruption…Birth Control Challenge:

Focus on the Family–"Unplanned Pregnancies"

Breaking the Sin of Selfishness
I had already started a post about selfishness before all your great comments about it. I looked back and saw where I’ve actually posted, from one angle or another, about selfishness several times before. IT IS THE ROOT OF EVERYTHING WRONG.

More Children Would "Hinder my Ministry"…
I received this e-mail from a reader today… Hello dear sweet Word Warrior!! I have just heard the statement once again that REALLY drives me nuts! A young minister who has an adorable 2 yr old and a precious 4month old stated that he just couldn’t possibly have any more children in fear that it…

Me, Myself and I (A Slight Detour…Sort of.)
“I want us to grasp the importance of vision…knowing that our experiences as children mold us into adults, which affect our marriages and families, which define our society! It’s all a big snowball, and we have to go back to the crucial beginning.” You may not know that I suffer from OATTMEC Syndrome (Over-analysis, Think-too-much,…

Are We Self-Destructing? Champion for the Home
OK, brace yourselves…this is not exactly a light post today…then again, this is not exactly a light blog! Gripping thoughts of yet another “cultural tragedy” that has affected our attitude toward children plague my mind this morning. I read this quote in an art book about home and family: “The problem with people today, is…
