By Contributing Writer, Kimberly of Raising Olives As I hear snatches of political discussions on the web, with guests around our dining room table or related to me by my husband, I wonder… When did voting for a man who says he supports killing innocent babies in certain circumstances become necessary, even good, for Christians? […]
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford Do you get discouraged watching the news and seeing the decline of the nation you love? I know I do. At times it feels like all there is left to do is throw up our hands and retreat. Another election reminds us that there are few men of integrity, few […]
By Contributing Writer, Leah Smith Do you know what God thinks about politics? Does the Bible have to say anything about the proper functions and boundaries of government? How will your answer affect your next vote? Much is at stake both now and in the generations to come. What we understand about our current times […]
By Contributing Writer, Kim Doebler “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” Billy Graham Bad company corrupts good character. I Corinthians 15: 33 We talk to our children about their friends. Thy may be initially attracted to someone because that […]
By Contributing Writer, Jeannette Paulson You can use children’s stories to teach complicated but important truths about welfare. Take, for example, the hard-working Little Red Hen.

By Contributing Writer, Carmon Friedrich Puff, puff, puff … just one more step, just one more house! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I felt like the Little Engine that Could as I trudged up and down my neighborhood streets with five children in tow, pushing the baby in […]

By Contributing Writer, Jeannette Paulson WWII is a fascinating period of history. How could civilized Germany vote in a tyrant who would systematically kill off the handicapped, blacks and Jews? In this terse, first-hand account, The Day Nazi Germany Died, Beate Wilder-Smith gives some thoughtful answers. One of the more alarming conclusions she reaches is that what happened in […]
Head on over to one of my favorite blogs, Generation Cedar, for a great article from Kelly on the topic of getting out of debt, saving money and government assistance. The article is a good read, but the comment thread afterward is even more intriguing. Kelly is a brave blogger, tackling all kinds of controversial […]

Facebook Hissy Fits (and How to Avoid Them)
I love and hate Facebook. I love to use it for my business and this blog, and I love the handful of groups I participate in. But otherwise, I think it’s the pits. Just think about election season, for example. The season for “friends” and “followers” to put down the masks and start shooting. But […]
You’ve seen it. The arched back. The clenched fists. The scrunched up face. The flailing feet. The hideous shrieks of indignation. And all you wanted to do was put their shoes on so they could do what they wanted to do: go outside and play. They thought you wanted to torture them, because, you know, […]
Choosing Which Hills to Die On
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]

I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size.

Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
