What are practical ways we can redeem the years following the completion of our formal education and prior to marriage? How can we be extremely intentional as we prepare to be “keepers at home” (Titus 2:5); young women entering marriage capable of efficiently managing the affairs of our homes so that it can be said [...]

To Older Women… It’s very easy for older women to make remarks or comments to or in front of younger women that are discouraging. We ought to be very careful about this, for we are to instruct the younger women, not destruct them. Oftentimes many of these comments are “off the cuff” remarks and aren’t given much thought [...]

The following article was written in response to several questions I received by email from a young lady who is currently attending college. I wrote about feminism numerous times, and, however I look at it, the conclusion that is reached is always the same: feminism is not what it claims to be.

From Voice of America: Russia’s president devoted the largest part of his annual State of Russia speech to reversing Russia’s population decline. If Russian couples have a third child, they will get a baby bonus, better health care, and free land to build a house or dacha, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev promised in his annual [...]

From our dear friend Becky Morecraft: Here’s my theory and I’m sticking to it: the family that reads books together – aloud – as a part of their weekly fellowship, will always be ‘on the same page.’ I was read to often as a child and still love the sound of my mother’s voice reading some favorite [...]

From The American Conservative: Defenders of marriage must face some hard facts or they are going to lose their fight—and with it, quite possibly, their religious freedom as well. Federal judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling nullifying Proposition 8 in California illustrates that, unless we can demonstrate very specific reasons why same-sex marriage is socially destructive, it [...]

My dear friend Kelly over at Generation Cedar wrote a wonderful post about gratitude yesterday, and her words spurred me to reflect on my own lack of thankfulness: “I wake up every day with a simple choice to make….give back my life in thankfulness, or with complaining take.”

From Carolyn Moynihan over at Mercatornet: Despite the ease with which divorce is contemplated and achieved today, research confirms that it is not good for the mental and physical health of children. A Canadian study suggests that children who experience a parental divorce are over twice as likely to suffer a stroke at some point [...]

Elizabeth Mitchell over at AnswersinGenesis.org has written an excellent piece about how modern scientists simply change definitions in order to make something acceptable which was once unthinkable: The FDA’s recent controversial approval of “ulipristal acetate—an emergency contraceptive effective for up to 5 days” after exposure—made headline news in the September issue of Ob.Gyn. News.1 Like [...]

From Sarah Bubar over at GirlsGoneWise.com: Feminism seems to be everywhere we look. It’s on TV, in our magazines, and in who wears the pants in the family. One of the first, and perhaps biggest, ways it has affected us is in the opinion of our rights as women. The problem, however, isn’t feminism. It is [...]

Each of us is asked to train up our children in the way they should go. For many, this is the easiest when they are young. It might be exhausting to tell a child over and over not to colour on the walls or to say “please” and “thank you”, but at least our surrounding [...]

Has anyone ever asked you that question? If you care at all about raising your children to walk with God, chances are, you have. I will admit that I often feel like the lemming at the edge of the cliff, who, after seeing the fate that awaits him if he follows the crowd, turns around, [...]

Since I am approaching my “graduation” from stay-at-home daughterhood, as I will move on to my new career description as a stay-at-home wife in just a few months, I thought it would be beneficial to reflect on these past four years. The choice to live at home with one’s parents instead of going away to college or [...]

This week I saw several faces of feminism at a community lunch held up the road. Taryn*, a quiet and sweet unmarried mother of two, told me she was six weeks pregnant. Taryn hopes the pregnancy will get off to a better start this time. She was “on contraception” when she conceived her prior two [...]

“You have to demand respect!” These words, uttered passionately into my cellphone earlier this week, have driven me from blog-hiding to write about a topic that is near and dear to my heart these days (quite largely because of that passionate conversation): boundaries and respect in male/female relationships.
