Seeing Life From the Highest Vantage Point
Three treats for you today! First of all, I am participating in Sharing the Journey’s 25 Days of Christmas Traditions with a post highlighting some of the most beautiful and memorable Christmas books to read to children. Reading with my children is my very favorite thing to do. I know you will enjoy and appreciate [...]
Contrary to what some in missions have mistakenly thought, we do not have to neglect our family responsibilities in order to accomplish God’s will in our ministry to others. Sacrificing our children on the alter of missions is very close to a modern form of Molech worship, which God continues to abhor. The family is [...]
When you get a new gizmo, where do you turn for instructions on how to get it put together and working properly? The inventor/creator usually tucks the directions in with the all the other pieces and parts, and if you follow them, you end up with a useful product. That’s the idea anyway. Have you [...]
It’s the same old lie…but she falls for every time. Step One: “Did God REALLY say THAT? Doubt enters the Wemmick girl’s mind. Hmmmm…well, gee whiz, I guess He couldn’t have really meant THAT. Could He? Step Two: “You know, if you think about it, THAT couldn’t be true. Logically. It isn’t sensible. Not under [...]
One of the very first blogs I discovered about four years ago was Mrs. June Fuentes’s, A Wise Woman Builds Her Home. I was so pleased to find a cozy place on the web where I could feel right at “home”. Everything June shared was encouraging, challenging, convicting, and inspiring. She was an experienced wife, [...]
I’ve read a parenting book or 50 in my 18 years of parenting. I think I was reading parenting books when I was single. I think. I wanted to make sure I “did it right” because I knew it would be the most important thing I did with my life. And you know…if it weren’t [...]
By Contributing Writer, Jeannette Paulson I first heard of The Undercover Revolution: How Fiction Changed Britain by Iain H. Murray from John Piper. Murray asserts that a particular kind of fiction, more than anything else, eroded evangelical morality in late Victorian and Edwardian England. Because the authors discussed in the book are praised as [...]
Our Visionary Womanhood group will be reading this book over the course of the next three months, so I thought it would be fun to give a copy away! I’m still in the midst of reading this one myself, but if you’d like to read more about it you can go HERE. There is some [...]
By Jeannette Paulson In Uprooting Anger, Robert Jones says that most references in the Bible to anger are about God –several hundred to be exact. He calls God “the most loving and the most angry person on our planet.” Jones describes our anger as a “whole-personed active response of negative moral judgment against perceived evil.” [...]
Our first two children were sons..and then God gave Aimee to us! We have three more little girls to follow in Aimee’s footsteps, but she is our oldest daughter; and hence, our female guinea pig as we learn the “parenting” ropes. She recently turned 11 and is starting to show signs of going through that [...]
