About a year and a half ago I began getting together regularly with other women in destructive marriages. We would pray together. We did a lot of weeping and subsequent nose blowing. A lot of laughing. A lot of venting. It was a safe place where we could let out all the pent up emotions […]
There are probably 4,398 songs, give or take a couple, that yodel on about control. Mostly about losing it. (Google is your friend here.) How about a definition? con·trol verb (used with object), con·trolled, con·trol·ling. 1. to exercise restraint or direction over; dominate; command. 2. to hold in check; curb: to control a horse; to […]
So we heard from the guys last week and found out what kind of girl they are NOT looking for. I thought it was only fair to ask the girls to weigh in. Notice, I didn’t ask their parents. We parents want anyone like, oh…say… Jesus Christ to marry our daughters. But since I’ve never […]
Last week the college and career Sunday School teacher at our church (who has been teaching this age group for most of his adult life) invited the parents of these young people to his home to talk about boy-girl relationships, dating, courting, and marriage. He is gearing up to do a series on this subject […]
So I guess this has morphed into a sort of Pendulum Post. It’s actually the second half of Are You a Good Little Christian. So if you haven’t read that, you may want to click over THERE first – and then come back when you’ve caught up. The pendulum we’re swinging on in these two […]

My 20-month-old is obsessed with ceilings right now. He’s all, “See?! See?!” while pointing to the ceiling. He looks at it in awe. He wants us to lift him up as high as we can so he can feel the thrill of being near the ceiling. This morning I tried to interest him in the […]
To date or not to date – that is the question swirling around the minds of many conservative Christians. When I was growing up, dating for us Christians meant going to Bridgemans for a hamburger and malt – and then maybe out to a movie. You could date someone a couple of times and decide […]
The following email is the inspiration behind this article: My husband and I would like to homeschool our children. We have a few years before our oldest reaches school age, but we have talked to some of our family about it. Most of our family is supportive of our desire to do this, but we […]
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 […]
