Weddings: So If You Could Do It Over Again…

Wednesday, May 2, 2007

What would you do differently? Or what do you wish you could have done, but at the time were unable to do so? We had a lovely wedding even though we were on a tight budget and tight timeframe. Overall I still like pretty much all of the choices we made. It was a joyous …

Blogging About Blogging

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

Okay, I hope I’m not opening a can of worms here. A favorite blog I frequent (daily) has recently gone through a bit of a “thing” because the blogger took off about two and a half weeks without announcing that she was taking a break. (The name of the blog is irrelevant and if you …

Caroline’s Dedication and Other Child-Related Musings

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Sunday we formally dedicated Caroline at church. We had a lovely day, surrounded by many dear family members and friends. After the service we had everyone over to our home for lunch and enjoyed a time of fellowship and celebrating our wonderful little blessing. I decided to make things easy on myself so we ordered …

What To Do With Old Journals?

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

While walking on the treadmill, I’ve been working my way through Monarch of the Glen on DVD. In one of the earlier episodes, Katrina and Lizzie are discussing growing up. Katrina mentions that she remembers Lizzie was always burning her journals. Lizzie replies that it was because she was always trying to make a fresh …

Where Do You Draw the Complementarian Line? | True Womanhood Blog

Thursday, April 5, 2007

I am already loving the True Womanhood group blog where I can participate but am not responsible for running it or responding to every comment. I can also discuss theological topics over there without having to “live with it” like I do here (as David explains it). I had my next post already figured out …

How We Did Bottle Feeding

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Katy left the following comment on another post and since I thought it would probably get lost there, I’m putting up my answer in a new post. (And don’t ever apologize for asking questions around here!) I’m sorry Sallie, but I have yet another question. My husband and I have decided to bottle feed; and …

Purpose Statement of True Womanhood Blog

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Joanna asked a question in the Chatterbox about the purpose statement of the True Womanhood blog. If you are interested, I’ve started a discussion over there.

40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40 | Something I Haven’t Learned

Thursday, March 22, 2007

Now that I’ve given you a list of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40, it’s true confession time. One of the things I haven’t completely learned and continue to struggle with is the fear of man. To a certain extent I don’t really have a problem making decisions and not caring what anyone else …

40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40 | #40

Wednesday, March 21, 2007

I saved this last thing I’ve learned for the end. I wanted to post this on my birthday because it is probably the greatest truth I have learned and witnessed in my life. It encompasses many of the things I have already written about in this series. It speaks of why this blog is named …

40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40 | #31-39

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 31. While it may not be the wisest course of action, debt is not a sin (unless God has specifically told you not to do something and you do it anyway). Being in debt and paying it back according to the agreement and …

40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40 | #21-30

Saturday, March 17, 2007

I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 21. Bad people happen to good Christians. Bad Christians happen to good Christians. Good Christians suffer for the sins of others. 22. Giving people the benefit of the doubt goes a long way. Trust but verify. 23. Hindsight is always 20/20. 24. Hindsight …

40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40 | #20

Tuesday, March 13, 2007

I’m continuing my series of 40 Things I’ve Learned By Age 40. 20. God will put you in places of influence you would never expect and in ways you could never anticipate. Have you ever played that game where you share facts about yourself, but you mix them in with non-facts and then people have …

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself. 

I hope you will join me here where we discuss all of life each day. Check out my Premium Content, the Forum, my Shop, or just start browsing the website I've thoughtfully curated for you.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
