Do You Trust God With Your Children?
Today’s post was supposed to be a completely different topic. It was going to examine the criticisms of a biblically conservative lifestyle choice. We’ll get to it sometime in the future because today I felt I needed to write about…
Divorce: Looking Through A Biblical Lens
Divorce isn’t really a hot topic in 2021. In fact, it hasn’t been for years. Divorce is ho-hum. It’s everyday stuff. Par for the course. Expected. Even among Bible-believing Christians, divorce is just a regular part of life. They have…
10 Things I Have Learned About Being A Homemaker
Recently, I realized that I haven’t collected a paycheck in nearly eleven years. I gave away all of it for another job. That’s nearly half a million dollars at my rate of pay back then (before taxes). What in the…

My Kids Aren’t Busy, And They Don’t Have To Be
Comparison. Why do we do this to ourselves? I’ll be living my life and feeling quite satisfied with how we’re doing. The kids will enjoy our schedule and involvement in activities. My husband and I will feel like we’ve struck…
