It was a simple prayer…but I couldn’t stop sobbing. During church that morning, during intercessory prayer–just like every Sunday, a prayer was offered up for the expecting moms in our church, of which I was one at the time. The prayer went something like…”Thank you, Lord, for the incredible gift of immortal souls whom you [...]

The Times (U.K.) published a wake-up call Sunday by a feminist who now laments the childless state of so many women: No one, not my family or my teachers, ever said, “Oh yes, and by the way you might want to be a wife and mother too.” They were so determined we would follow a [...]

If you are a full-time homemaker, you might well be the only one on your street, in this day and age when most women work outside the home. In fact, for many of your acquaintances you might be the only stay-at-home wife/mother they know. If you think about it, it means that for many people [...]

You should not judge a book by its cover. That is true. And if you have time in the library to browse and read the back flap or half a chapter, you will often come home with an amazing book even though the cover didn’t really promise much. But how often do you have time [...]

There is a homeless man who lives in our town… well, at least I think he’s homeless. Most people say that he is. Although someone told me he has an attic room somewhere on the east side of town, and that may be true. Someone else who knows someone who works in the bank says [...]

I’d like to ask you for advice on how to answer a modesty issue that is occurring at our church. There is a single young woman who continually chooses to attend church in very risque outfits. This appears to be on purpose. She loves to flaunt herself in addition. Her parents and other siblings attend [...]

An important component of being happy at home is to be busily, cheerfully, and productively employed. It doesn’t mean running around from the moment you get up until you go to bed; the daily rhythm has its ebb and flow, busy hours and quiet hours. But it’s so satisfying to look back at the end [...]

No comment necessary on this one: Chinese family planning authorities have detained 1,300 people to sterilise as part of a crackdown on parents who violate strict birth control rules. Authorities in Puning, a city in southern China’s Guangdong province, have detained the men and women against their will in cramped offices, according to state media. [...]

In their documentary, The Monstrous Regiment of Women, Colin and Emily Gunn have produced an incredible, well-researched, articulate, and powerful expose’ of feminism, its agenda, and its far-reaching, destructive influence on society. They do not just dwell on the negative, however, but give hope by standing firmly on God’s Holy Word and revealing His high [...]

“I’m a writer,” I usually respond when asked what I do for a living. “The unpublished kind,” I’ll quip. Very rarely does the conversation require the awkward foray into why I live at home. At that point, someone that the questioner probably would think of as a pretty nice young lady turns into a weird, [...]

I can remember 15 years ago when there was real, serious debate about women in the military–particularly in combat units. But we were assured that women would not be put in harm’s way, kept in support roles far away from danger. So the frog in the pot kept quiet while the water slowly warmed. Fast-forward [...]

Washing feet. Not a glamorous job. But a job worthy of the King of Kings to perform with love and humility. But there’s more. He then admonishes us to be like Him. “Oh Lord, I want to be like you…I really do”, we say. He replies, “then wash their feet“. “No, I mean I want [...]

“I want you to share your food with the hungry and bring right into your own homes those who are helpless, poor and destitute. Clothe those who are cold and don’t hide from relatives who need your help.

Here are some things that a wife and mother can do to add much beauty to her home without spending money. While many things listed may seem small or quite trivial, the beauty they can add turns out to be quite much.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with what others may see as a simple thought, while I experience it as a burning, profound revelation. Such an occurrence happened at church one day, spurred by something our pastor said in the middle of the sermon, and I jotted my thoughts down (sorry, Pastor Joe!)… “How could not the [...]
