It’s not what most people imagine that gender neutral means and it’s not what it is supposed to mean because Congress defined gender-neutral as being “evaluated on the basis of common, relevant performance standards, without differential standards of evaluation on the basis of gender.” But by leaving “relevant” in there, the door was open for a debate on the meaning of “is”, and the clear meaning of the rule was inverted so that instead of the standards neutralizing gender, gender neutralized the standards.

Some parents in California say they will be keeping their kids home from school Wednesday because teachers plan to commemorate Harvey Milk Day.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay person elected to public office in California.
Milk was elected to the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors in 1978. He is seen as a man who paved the way for future gay political leaders. Wednesday, students around the state will hear about his accomplishments.
But a group called SaveCalifornia.com is running radio ads in California cities calling on parents to boycott Harvey Milk Day by keeping their children home from school.

This is a wonderful post from the gals at Femina:
The happiest marriage in the world is not happy because there was nothing to resent. It is happy because the giving, forgiveness, love, and respect that are cultivated are like citronella plants to the mosquitos of bitterness and resentment. When you are loving the Lord God with all your heart, and soul, and mind, loving your neighbor as yourself just rolls out naturally. We are all fallen. We all fall short. We will never run out of things to resent each other for, just as God will never run out of things to forgive us for. So love God with everything, and see your neighbor as exactly what he is – just like you.

“…the reason we want to bring this kind of stuff out to our listening audience is because the spirit of the age, the zeitgeist, tends to affect just about everybody. Especially if you attend a church, or your kids attend a school, or your kids are going to college. They’re going to be Millennials. They are going to be pretty much whatever the world is like, because that is the people they hang out with day-in and day-out. So I just want you all to know just what you’re going to become unless you come out from among them and be a little separate.” Kevin Swanson

When a major tragedy captures global attention, there’s usually much discussion in the media concerning how such things can be understood in terms of a loving God. While some Christian leaders are asked for their response (and usually falter, sad to report), atheists will often chime in and claim that there can’t be a loving God because of such a horrible calamity.
Tragedies, of course, are not confined to today. It wasn’t too long ago when an evil regime wiped out six million Jews and many others. In addition to the headline events, each of us suffers pain at one time or another—illness, headaches, accidents, and eventually death. It’s not surprising when the burdens become too great, that people cry out to God in anguish, “Why don’t you do anything? Don’t you care?”
The true history of death, as understood from a literal Genesis, actually enables us to recognize a loving Creator who hates death.

Another great one from The Art of Manliness, though I think it’s important to point out that we shouldn’t look to the state to fulfill the role of sheepdog.
The role of human “sheepdogs” is almost exactly that of their canine counterparts. Like actual sheepdogs, they live among the flock – one of them, and yet different and set apart. They protect the perimeter and vigilantly watch for evil “wolves.” Their mere presence can keep bad men turning on each other instead of on law-abiding citizens, but if they do attack, human sheepdogs are alert and ready to be aggressive. They are prepared to make a stand against those who would do others harm, but outside of times of crisis, they are gentle and trustworthy. Grossman describes human sheepdogs as individuals who have a capacity for violence but also a moral compass and a “deep love for [their] fellow citizens.” Their hardihood and bravery gives them the ability to “walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia [fear of man], and walk out unscathed.”

Last weekend, I was glad to participate in another wedding and to have the joy of giving a message. It was the wedding of Jordan Muela and Sarah Mendenhall in Indiana. As I was meditating on Ephesians 5:22-33 before the wedding, it struck me again that this passage is the most pro-female document ever drafted.

From Generations with Vision with Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner.
“Americans are inconsistent. It’s just an inconsistency that’s betraying itself right now and I think we need to press the inconsistency. This is one important way in which the Christian gospel reaches people, when we press inconsistencies. We point out to them that they are whited sepulchers, that they think that they are very very nice people, that they do treat babies nicely, that they love their children, oh, how they love their children when they have aborted 80 Million of them.”

Growing up as a minority in the inner city, the word “feminism” was never mentioned. I may not have heard the word in my day-to-day living, but that doesn’t mean feminism wasn’t alive and thriving in the black community. During that time in my life, many mothers, including mine, wanted better for their daughters.
Our mothers wanted to protect us from anything that would hinder us from getting an education and having a career. Therefore, it was common back in the day for a young black teenage girl to get on “the pill” as soon as possible. The nearby clinic made it all possible for our mother’s dreams to come true.

Editor’s note: This article includes a video which contains explanations which are EXTREMELY graphic and disturbing. It also links to photos that make the images many have seen previously associated with the Gosnell case seem clean. This article is not suitable for all audiences. Discretion is strongly advised.
As I watched this, I was not only aghast and pausing numerous times to catch my breath and slow my heart rate, but I also marked the callous unfeeling nature of these women and had to name each according to the fruit of their sin. From left to right, Coercion, Willful ignorance, and Obstinacy, three Abortion assistants confess to murder as they sit and talk with Life Dynamics Inc., a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas.
“With hearts broken for these suffering children, we ask the media to overcome the understandable recoil from this brutality and report the horrific facts of this case. The testimony and the photos are very, very difficult to take in, but this is a conversation that we must have as a nation. What are we as a society willing to tolerate?”
Kermit Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors’ woke up many Americans to the inhumanity of the late-term abortion industry. Though some in the “pro-choice” lobby – and even some politicians like Senator Harry Reid – would like Americans to believe that Gosnell was an “outlier,” this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Mothers and Matthew 25:34-37
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we…” Matthew 25:34-37… (more…)

Those of us who live and work full-time within our homes and communities – as women have always done, but for the short period of modern history – now often have to deal with questions such as were posed in a comment I received last week:
“Being a stay home mom is great until husband loses his job, husband becomes disabled or gets cancer, husband divorces you, or husband gets hit by a car and dies. Many homemakers are ill prepared to support their families when such tragedy happens and then the children are thrust into poverty. Also, bear in mind Anna, that your girls will be teenagers while you are still in your 30s which is quite young. What will you do with your time when you are 40, which is VERY young and healthy, and your daughters are out of the house with lives of their own? How much time is really going to be spent on cooking and cleaning once your daughters are gone? What will you do to occupy your time and give you socialization?” (more…)

“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew 6:27
So it is useless to worry! A short person cannot, by any amount of anxiety, make himself an inch taller. Why, therefore, should he waste his energy and fret his life away–in wishing he were taller?
One worries because he is too short–another because he is too tall; one worries because he too lean–another because he is too heavy; one worries because he has a lame foot–another because he has a mole on his face. No amount of fretting will change any of these things!
People worry, too, over their circumstances. They are poor, and have to work hard. They have troubles, losses, and disappointments which come through causes entirely beyond their own control. They find difficulties in their environment which they cannot surmount. There are hard conditions in their lot which they cannot change.

Editor’s note: graphic description of abortion within article.
The murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell could have national ramifications if he is convicted of the charges against him. However, very few of the mainstream media have bothered to cover the trial. The courtroom seats reserved for media remain mostly vacant day after day. They don’t want to cover the trial because it deals with abortion and paints a very gory picture at the controversial practice.
However, there have been a few reporters there covering the trial,…
