From ladiesagainstfeminism.com Comments and Letters I've just read through the Scorching Rhetoric section and frankly I had a really good laugh! Did you notice that the letters from the most militant feminists, the ones saying women have the right to do anything they want, and get an education, and work, etc., are the ones with the most grammatical and spelling errors (not to mention the expletives, which you have so thoughtfully deleted)? Mrs. Chancey, I just wanted to let you know your article is wonderful!! I can only imagine how maddening it is to receive letters accusing you of things you have never said, nor even believe. It makes me angry just reading the scorching rhetoric! I just think it's amusing that they tell you to leave them alone, when they are the one's continuing to come back to the site. The whole argument of women being the same as men is absurd to me as well. How do you argue the obvious? I come back to this website again and again and am never disappointed. Keep up the wonderful, wonderful work and may God continue to bless you and your family. Sincerely, Ashlee M. Dear ladies, This is such a beautiful site! Although not agreeing on all subjects, I more than enjoy reading through your very interesting articles. It has help me a great deal in redefining my relationship to the Lord and I am sure your site is a great encouragement for many ladies out there. Sometimes it is difficult to understand all your views and opinions, especially for someone who has not studied the bible thoroughly.It's quite sad though, that those who write scorching rhetoric, do not even seem to take the time to study the subject thoroughly. Keep your good work up and I am looking forward to reading more on the subject of single ladies. With the greatest respect and blessings, Rebecca G. I came across your site several weeks ago while looking for articles on modesty, and this site really spoke to me. I am a convert to Reform Judaism and my husband and I belong to a congregation that accepts and encourages feminism. I've always been a little amazed when I encounter women who don't know "traditional" womanly skills. Although I was raised by a mother who has always been more comfortable in pants than dresses, she taught me many of those skills: sewing, crochet, embroidery, cooking, etc. She herself was raised by women who did all these things as a matter of course but who also followed a conservative Christian pattern of wearing dresses only, never cutting their hair, and eskewing makeup and jewelry. I feel as though I am coming home to them when I read your articles. I looked through many of the letters of "scorching rhetoric." As a former English teacher, I was appalled at not only the venom of these comments but also the apparent lack of concern for good spelling and grammar. I don't know if that is another result of feminism, but I do know it is a result of our too casual society. My husband also considers himself a feminist, but he does proudly tell others about my various accomplishments. However, while I strive to dress more femininely, especially when going out, he is almost insulted because I am dressing "better" than he is (he prefers his jeans or shorts and t-shirts or sweatshirts). Because he has been unable to find employment in his chosen field (historic preservation) and has been stuck in a part-time job for many years, it has fallen upon me to be the "breadwinner" for our family. He leaves all financial decisions up to me, even when I ask for his assistance, but he then gets upset if I say we can't afford something he wants to do. I want to treat him as the head of our house, but he says he doesn't want that responsibility; he says he wants us to be "equals." How can we be if that is not the way G-d made us? Yes, things are not always easy, but I really do believe that G-d prefers women and men to be different. I will continue to read your articles and look to them for encouragement and support. Thank you for your work. Thank you for a sight that, while promoting "Christian" values, doesn't speak down to those of us who choose to follow another path. ~ Kathy D Greetings! I came upon your site by accident when searching for material on "Christian Modesty." I enjoy reading and exploring your site. Although my husband works full time and works hard, his job situation is not good and the work is poorly paid. Thus, I am trapped currently in a situation in which I am forced to earn the bulk of the family income --but with the aid of modern conveniences and labor-saving devices I strive to hold to high standards of neatness and cleanliness, and even beauty, in our home. I will never stop trying to do my "real" job no matter how my circumstances work against my doing so, and I realize more than ever that life really is a series of choices. Each day after I come home from my full-time employment I am presented with choices about what I will do with the remainder of my waking hours. I thank God that although there is laundry to be done this no longer means I must take it all down to the stream and beat it on a rock, and that cleaning dishes and pans after meals does not mean I must spend an hour bent over the sink washing them all by hand. It is true that there are few leisure hours for me, but I believe that human life was never meant to be a pursuit of leisure. I ask God to give me the strength to make the choices that will make the next day better and brighter, and with all my heart I love the Lord. He does provide. I just spent a few moments reading "recent scorching notes," and felt saddened when I saw the rash, angry, misspelled, poorly written, and impolite notes some people sent to your site. They are truly pathetic, and I pity the people who wrote them. How wise you are to give them precisely the amount of attention they deserve. The ugly tone many of them project is in such stark contrast to the kind, hopeful, encouraging, and cheerful nature of your site that they serve only to reinforce, and not tear down, the Biblical principles to which you hold. Sincerely, Mary I was not going to send anything untill I read some of the scorching rhetoric and I knew that I had to. I feel threatened and scared at the thought of how women are today. I am a saved women, a wife and a mother of 4. I COMPLETELY believe in everything in your articles. They are an uplift to me and a wonderful encouragement. For me L.A.F.'s site is my fellowship with likeminded women. I daily look forward to reading the articles and I'm always anxious to find new ones. I praise God for this site and pray it will be used by HIM to encourage some young woman in the way of right. Thank you and please for the sake of biblical womanhood - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS!!!! Melissa Smith. Hi, I'm a homeschooling mother of five. I'm very fulfilled in my role as woman. In reading your "scorching rehtoric" section I feel they've only reinforced my ideals that women today are bound in their own anger and not free to enjoy their own womanhood. Instead of putting forth their ideas with any sort of logical thought, they put nonsense with anger, explitives, and sheer frustration. Thank you to them for writing. They only instill in me a need to avoid a lifestyle that makes me so angry with other women. If we are so backwards and archaic and unreasonable why then are we the ones at peace? ~ Nadine Hello, I just read the page of scorching rhetoric. Goodness, the issue of feminism brings out more anger and pride in people than the "pants or skirts" issue! It's so sad to see that these women just don't understand God's ways. They are willing to live their lives apart from God's plan, never knowing the true satisfaction that comes from being a Biblical woman. I'm 19 years old, and I have been trying to live my life according to the Scriptures. I have long hair, modest skirts, and try to submit to my dear husband ( I know, there's way more to it than that!!). It isn't easy all the time, but it is SO worth it. I am happier like this than I ever was before! If only all those women could experience life as God wants it to be. His blessings are so much better than the rewards of serving ourselves. I just wanted to tell you what a blessing your site is. It's so great to know that I and my family are not the only ones out there trying to live as we should. Keep speaking the truth in love, sisters, no matter what others say. The dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on. I pray that God will use this site and all your hard work to speak to women everywhere about Biblical femininity. : ) Love in Christ, Valerie B. Thank you for this lovely site which I found when I punched "anti-feminist" into MSN Explorer. It is blessed to know there are like minded Christian ladies out there. I have read the scorching rhetoric and pray for these poor lost souls. Feminism destroyed my childhood family, but thoroughly rejecting it has built a beautiful adult family. You show the opulence awarded to the daughters who cheerfully obey Him. A lady who would obey God's Word would never marry a man whose authority she couldn't obey either. Obedience or submission in this sense is the foundation of domestic tranquility and peace instead of some act of forced authority: no God fearing man would ever abuse this structure. Instead, he would love his wife as Christ loves the church. We remember that Christ died for the church and provided us with everlasting life. I would say that women actually have it easy in comparison with men and should fulfill our duties gleefully. I pray 1 Peter 3 to strengthen you all in your marriages and thank God for the great work you do! ~ Heidi D. Hello "LAF" Ladies! I stumbled upon your website and was fully read to click out of it when I saw the title, which, in fact, it made me laugh! Thusly intrigued, I decided to explore the site a bit, expecting to see fluffy articles and laundry hints. Was I mistaken! You ladies have one of the most intelligent sites I've seen. I am impressed by you hard work, and by the fact that you cheerfully welcome the "cognent commentary" that may not agree with your ideas. (the writers of the "scorching rhetoric" need to just grow up). I will definitely be visiting you again. Bless your efforts. ~ Carol Dear Ladies, I would like to answer some of the things I read in the scorching rhetoric column. I have been in the working world, trying to raise children at home,and advance in my career. It is not the pretty picture you'd like to paint. I almost lost my daughter to suicide and drugs and my marriage was on the rocks. Was I happy in my job? NO It was a good job and I enjoyed the children (I was a pre-school teacher) but there was always conflicts going on as it is in any work enviroment. It was when I turned my life around and embraced my womanhood as the gift from God it was that I found happiness. I now homeschool my children and my daughter has become one of the happiest girls you could meet. My marriage is so strong now, that I learned to respect my husband and to honor him instead of trying to force him to honor me. Am I walked on? Absolutely not! The more I have poored out on my family the more they have returned that love and respect. My home is a HAPPY home. I have also found that it was when I quit trying to run things that I found real self-respect. You can not do a man's job you are not a man. Neither can he do yours. But there is such peace and joy when we each do our God given jobs and let the other do theirs. Thank you for such a wonderful site that will tell it like it is and will stand up for the right of things in an upside down world. Sincerely, Trudy Keep up the good work; you are on the right track. This is very refreshing to see across the internet, the fact that there are some gracious enough women to stand up for righteousness. May the Lord bless you, lead you and guide you in to more of the Truth, I think the feminist movement has done more damage to our children; there we will ever really comprehend. To encourage the splitting of our homes and families by lying to as many women as they can that it's "better on the other side" is nothing but a sad, very sad waste. Thank God there are still morally uplifting woman in our culture, what a relief! "AND ALL THE MEN AND CHILDREN SAY AMEN !!! " ~ Martin M. Dear Sisters, I want to encourage you in your stand against the empty philosopies of this world that hold so many captive. My heart pounded as I read the "Scorching Rhetoric" section...and ached for the women and men who wrote those acidic remarks. How the Lord's precious words ran through my mind... "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." Your courage and willingness to stand in the cross hairs for the sake of truth is inspiring as I am one who too often fears to draw fire. I will pray for the boldness to speak the truth in love as you have so many times here. And I will pray for your continued courage, edification, and wisdom as well. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Warmly, Kimberly grateful homemaker, wife, and joyful homeschool mother to 5 (so far) Dear Jennie, I was reading the scorching rhetoric page and had to make a comment. It really strikes me funny that the women that send these emails to you actually think that those who choose to stay home and serve their famlies are not intelligent. Just for curiosity sake I sat and watched the movie "Mona Lisa Smile" the other evening. The same spirit was in that movie as well. Which is,"if you choose to stay home and serve your family some how you are ignorant, and have no common sense." It really makes me sad to see young women thinking this way. Oh, yes we are equal now, we can smoke, drink, work, and be independant. But the21st Century woman has volunteered to stepdown from her high place of honor to be equal to man, when God himself had lifted women up and place her in a honorable position. Remember, it was a woman named Mary who was chosen to bring the Savior into the world. And it was a woman who first got to see the risen Lord. I for one an so thrilled that you have placed this website on line. My daughter and I use it as part of her education for current events. Keep up the good work, A Friend of LAF I am so happythat this site exists! Thank you so much!!!!It's so nice to know that I am no longer the odd girl out! ~ Nicole S. I just want to say that I have just been scanning your site, and I like some of the things I have read. I had to laugh over some of the "scorching rhetoric" though. Some people are pretty funny. At least you are decent enough people that you are open to other opinions. I think the family is the most important thing in this world. I have four children, and recently went back to work after going to school, having a surprise baby, and staying home with her the last 16 months. I have been working for only three months but I am already ready to get back home. My income gets eaten up by daycare and expenses, and my children's attitudes have really gone downhill. I would absolutely love to go back to the kind of lives women had in the 1950's-where the mom stays at home,takes care of her children, her house and her husband. I see nothing wrong with that, and maybe if more people did that, divorce rates, child abuse, and a host of other things would go down. I think this is a very valid point. What have women really gained? ~ Candace E. I was reading through the scorching rhetoric section and could only think of one thing:The fool says in his heart "There is no God." There have been times when the atrocities committed by the human race have made me wish I had the power to incinerate the Earth. But it shows us just how merciful and loving our Father is - unwilling that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. I just try to remind myself that God loves all of His children, even the ones that hate him. As someone that has just barely started on the road to becoming a godly wife and mother, I have found your site to be a thought-provoking blessing. Thank you for your efforts! Arielle Dear LAF, I have just read the 'Scorching Rhetoric' area of this site and for me two things stood out above everything else. One is that it is abundantly clear that many of the the posters had approached this site with completely blinkered vision. They had seized on the name as an affront to women and had thereafter stuck rigidly to that first impression. No matter that none of the articles (which I seriouslt doubt that most posters had bothered to read)posted here advocate the subjugation or ill treatment of women or suggest that women are not equal in worth to men, (even though the genders may have different natural talents and abilities) the decision had been made and that was it! Secondly, and much more amazing to me, is the common thread running throughout the messages about freedom of choice. Over and over again we are told that we are fools and reactionaries who want to take women back into the dark ages of ownership, slavery and subjugation to men. Excuse me, but, even if these opinions were correct (and reading just a few articles on the site shows that they are way off the mark), why is it okay for these people to make THEIR choices, but to try to deny us the same right? Doesn't that rather destroy their whole 'freedom'argument? Just a thought, Ros I've read enough on your site to know that you are Godly people encouraging other men and women to grow in the Lord. I read through the scorching rhetoric letters that people have written: they either haven't read everything on your site carefully; or they're upset with the truth so they lash out at it! They love living for themselves more than they do for the Lord. A sister in Christ (saved Christmas 2002) Carly While I do not agree with all your opinions as expressed on this site, I must admire you for your honest and reasonable way of getting your point across. Thanks to your site, I have moved away from the idea that it is natural for me to work outside the house and instead have also decided that to be a stay-at-home-mom is a valid option for me. Please do not stop with presenting your opinions so elegantly and eloquently. Sincerely, Diandra A. I just wanted to *THANK YOU* for your courageous articles for black history month. I'm sure you got some scorching rhetoric for it. I am white, but my wonderful husband is black, and he is discouraged by the attitudes blacks have towards children--he feels like they've sold out to the Planned Parenthood mentality, here in the States, but also in his home country in Africa, due to the influence of well-meaning Western missionaries (We discovered one Lutheran mission in Ethiopia actually partners with PP to provided "women's healthcare"). What we find odd is that even when blacks condemn Planned Parenthood for it's racism and the deliberate attempt to limit "undesireables", they totally ignore the birth control aspect of it. Margaret Sanger knew and stated that birth control was her first attack on such people as she considered unworthy to reproduce, including blacks. Even Focus on the Family in thier condemnation of PP, mentioned nothing at all about birth control, because they've bought the "responsible family planning" lie foisted on the Church by Margaret Sanger before she started talking about abortion. How sad. ~ Margaret D. I am not a christian and I would also consider myself at least partially a feminist. Through a random series of events I ended up on your website and just wanted to express my admiration at your ability to put forward your ideas in a rational and non-inflammatory way. While I do not necessarily agree with all that you are saying, I can see the point of view on some of what you are trying to put across here. Personally I prefer to dress modestly, but I believe that everyone should have the free will to choose for themselves. The constant need to be showing off as much skin as possible would seem to me to be a result of the media more than anything. Hopefully this trend will change in the future- surely it cannot be possible for people to strip off further? I have read many articles at your site even though I'm normally not an internet person. (I prefer books!) However, it's good to find such a rich compilation with variety in one spot. I'm particularly encouraged by the articles on modesty/beauty and will use many to aid in my training of my youngest two daughters. Regretfully, I didn't do a good job with my oldest two daughters and have learned so much through failure. All that's to say - thank you for your Titus 2 ministry to Christain women. ~Linda~ I wanted to say that I love your site and would like to print the Miss Lydia speaks on Homemaking and pass it out to the ladies that attend our At-home Mom playgroup through my church. I am the hostess of the playgroup and am encouraged to pass out articles related to the Titus 2 woman. Thank you, Patti B. Thank you so much for this site! I have found this such a blessing to my college career. I am pursuing a degree in English at Alfred University, a very liberal college in western New York. The English department is so incredibly overbearing with their feministic views (a little -too- gungho). Out of a somewhat small faculty, the majority of them promote the extreme form of feminism. I am an outcast amongst my fellow majors due to my being a Christian who -promotes- femininity. It was such a relief that a Jane Austen literature course was offered! But, they see me as a weak and naive "doormat" and it disgusted to me to the point that I wrote an essay entitled, "Statement of Naivety." I would be more than willing to share it with the site, if you would like. :) Thank you so much again; I greatly appreciate it. I now have a stronger argument to put up when I'm confronted with the suffocating feminism again. :) Sincerely, Chelsea F. Wow, Wow, What an eye opener! We sometimes get stuck in our own little world, worried how do we survive as women--when the whole time God grace has already acommodated for us in his word. His Love for us all has no bounds. Thank you so much for being God's beacon and sharing in his words on Womanhood, how beautiful. ~ Joanne G. I just wanted to tell you that I have read right through your site, and really felt that I had "come home"! I must point out that I have never considered myself to be a "religious" person, and indeed, have spent a good many years totally opposed to the thought of God, etc. However, in more recent years (perhaps a sign that I am getting older - at 42 years of age!) I have become more open to the possibility that just maybe He does "exist". My only "goals" in life, from when I was a child, were to have a husband, children and home, in other words, I "only" wanted to be a home-maker. I have found it very hard to justify myself to most people (not, I hasten to add, my husband, who has always supported my choice), who seem to think it odd that I don't want to be out there having a career outside the home. I live in the UK, but still have found your site to be very interesting and, please excuse me if this sounds odd, comforting! Many thanks. Sharon L. Greetings in the Name of Our Lord, Jesus; I recieved a link to your site on the MOMY's email list. This is a topic dear to my heart, as we are raising (have raised- so far) 6 young ladies, and 3 young men to walk in the design our Creator has for them as male and female. Thank you for your great site - what I've read so far. I have only read a couple of pages so far - and will have to come back another day to read more. But it is bookmarked, and assuredly I will. I will also pass it on to my friends and daughters. At Jesus' feet, Lisa Me and My House ministries - Christian Family Discipleship Thank you for this site. Your gracious boldness is proclaiming the truth about womanhood has begun a revolution in my life. My mother was always a true and loving lady, but though I considered myself a Bible-believing Christian I was swayed by societal "norms," till I was so confused I didn't know up from down. Your clear statements were used by God at the perfect time in my life... I was searching on the internet for "ladylike manners" and found you! Thank you again for the courage, kindness and truthfulness herein displayed. ~ Mrs David B. I have deeply been blessed by your site and the women who have the same feelings as I do, so in essence the mutual encouragement I have had form this site. ~ Melissa Praise the Lord! So wonderful to find I am not alone in the world! I have been a homemaker/wife/homeschooler for 25 years and just wanted to applaud your efforts! I started on a book recently on this very subject. How sad that women have been sold a "bill of goods" and robbed of the most fulfilling life imagineable! Keep up the good work. I plan to join and look forward to a little companionship-if even online! God bless your much needed ministry, Natalie Hello, I was wondering if you could recommend a good audio tape that would encourage a soon-to-be mother to stay at home. My younger sister, a new Christian, is expecting her first child in November, but has no plans to quit her current full-time job. I am looking for something that she could listen to which would challenge her with the Biblical role of the woman as helpmeet and homemaker. I know of several good books, but do not think she would take the time to read them. An audio tape would be much better since she has a one hour commute to work each day. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that you could give. Thank you for a wonderful God-honoring website. In Christ, Mrs. September W. Dear Mrs. W., Thank you for the lovely note! We will be praying for your younger sister as she prepares to marry. Some of the best audio tapes I have ever heard come from Doug and Nancy Wilson of Christ Church/Canon Press. Mrs. Wilson's are especially challenging, encouraging and enriching as she discusses the biblical role of wife and mother. You can find these audio tapes in our online bookstore (www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com/bookstore) or through www.booksonthepath.com, which is our bookstore sponsor. Another good source of challenging, heartening tapes is www.visionforum.com, which offers an absolutely beautiful tape called "The Blessed Marriage," among others. I hope this is helpful, and thank you again for writing! Blessings, Mrs. Chancey Just a few lines to say what wonderful site. I throught I was the only one who was against feminism.I've been a christian now for 5yrs,and I'm so pleased that there are some women who still hold to biblical truths. God bless you. yours in Christ. ~ Joanna C-G Dear Ladies, Just a note of appreciation for such a wonderful site! I've enjoyed the new format & haven't finished reading all the new articles. You're a "breath of fresh air" in our ultra modern, anti Christian home culture. May God Bless you. ~ Rhonda Dear Ladies, Hello! I'm a 20 year old college student and I just wanted to send a small note to let you all know that I really love this website, especially your page on modest and feminine clothing styles. It's so wonderful knowing that there are other women around America that value femininity and the true liberation of a woman that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your site is certainly a treasure. Your Sister in Christ, Kristen L. I love the new site! (The old one was great, too, but this is so much easier and quicker to navigate!) I just had a thought: too bad you all aren't in the matchmaking business. There is a need for getting men and women (esp. of the same religion) together who share the world view promoted by LAF. But then, I think this way of life can only attract more and more by its beauty... Thank you for this tremendous service. ~ Sarah Hey LAF, I love the site and finally I've found a place that discourages feminists' tomfoolery. It takes a bit of courage to stand up and tell these people that they are wrong. I've found backing for my argument that women need to focus on the cherishing role that they are created for. Especially in places like the military, where for some awful reason they are letting females serve. Women are completely unsuited for combat, lacking both strength and male aggression. Not to mention sports such as boxing. Anyone can see that the female body is a thing created for cherishing life, and is easily damaged. Men have to reclaim their role as protectors and breadwinners of the family. I am glad to see that the people at LAF have their eyes open. Thanks for making such a great site! ~ Mark Z. I have been reading and re-reading some of the articles (I was introduced to this site several months ago and have been visiting it ever since) and thought I would say again how thankful I am for this site and what you stand for. The purpose of my comment today, though, is to remind everyone to pray for those feminists who are so obviously hurting. The more I read their comments on different subjects, the more I see how badly they need to know our Savior and His grace and love. It's so easy to condemn them and their actions, but what we need to be doing is praying for them. I have been convicted personally about this. Thank you for your up-front articles and Biblical view on womanhood. God bless.~ Ally Thank you, Ally, for this gracious reminder. We do need to pray for these hurting feminists. It is obvious from their hateful comments that they are not happy or at peace. We need to pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to convict them and woo them -- in spite of themselves! We are so glad you have found LAF a blessing. May the Lord nourish you and strengthen you as you continue to honor and serve Him! In Christ, Mrs. Chancey I visited your site a while ago and was greatly encouraged and motivated to be a godly woman. Coming back a while later and seeing the 'new look' I really like it and it is still as encouraging as ever. I am 16 and everyone is asking me what I will do 'for a job'. They mean to be kind, but when I say I long to be a home-maker and mother, they look as though I'm crazy and sometimes they say so! Thank you so much for your site! My mother went to be with the Lord 6 years ago, and no other lady around believes like me. You really strengthen me striving to be a godly lady. Thank you and God bless your work! Priscilla God bless you, Priscilla! You are a rare young women. Stick to your principles; they lead to life, health, and peace. I pray that the Lord will encourage you and protect you as you seek to serve Him at home. It is a noble and worthy calling! Thank you for writing, and have a blessed week! In Christ, Mrs. Chancey THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! I am so encouraged by your website. I am so greatful that I am not the only woman desiring to get back to Biblicial Feminity. I have been a stay at home mom since my first born son was 1 year old, when I quit my part-time job as a hairstylist. I have loved it ever since. My son is now 14 years old. I have been home for 13 years and even though we have suffered job loses due to layoffs I have remained home. Thanks for your encouraging website.~ Mrs. Carl K. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how much your site here has helped me brainstorm for my first attempt ever to talk in front of a large crowd of Christians about Feminism, Biblical Womanhood, Biblical Manhood, and the way society has failed to uplift and value women (especially men who do not give the proper appreciation to their women and thus causing stumbling stones to women). This is a large project for me, and my first ever. I will be trying my hardest to not offend anyone and yet deliver a powerful, scriptural message to my fellow young Christian friends about the relationships between men and women. I have two purposes in mind, one for women, one for men: For the women, I want to justify exactly why they should value themselves. Simply telling them they are respected or honored sometimes isn't enough to convince a woman. I want to walk away having given a message that shows them that men NEED women just how women NEED men. We are dependent on each other, neither being independent. Evidence of this is in Genesis when Eve was created to be a companion for Adam because he was lonely, and God has promised us that he would take care of our needs. The second purpose, for the men, is for us (including myself) to act upon God's command and cherish our sisters in Christ, to convince them that we REALLY DO love and honor them and that we NEED their support. I want to come out of this message convicting men to do this as their duty to their sisters in Christ. If I can make one more good, Godly man who will act in this way, then all has been worth while. If I can make one woman feel valued and truly convinced of being someone, then all has been worth while. If you have any information or scripture that could be helpful, I would gladly take such suggestions. I plan on making this a several-month project, so I have time. Thanks again, and please keep up the good work of spreading the word to the world. Let all the world see his glory! Your brother in Christ, Aron G. Dear Mr. G., What a delight to receive your note! Your plans for your talk are simply fantastic. We need more men speaking about honoring women and cherishing their role! I think women often feel that only other women "preach" this message and that perhaps it isn't what men truly want. I think the important thing is to uphold the role of the woman as that of culture-shaper and history-maker. The role of women in the home as helpmates and mothers simply cannot be replaced. Daycare has already shown itself to be a horrifically failed experiment. Children need nurturing, intelligent mothers. This is the hope of the future! And, just as you say, women cannot do this without good, hard-working men! We were designed to lean upon a godly man and follow his leading. Men are designed to be helped by their wives. We are never independent of one another. Without good men, we cannot stay at home and fulfill our role as queen and destiny-shapers of the young. Without women, men do not have a stable home life to support them in their calling, nor do they have an intimate companion who can share their deepest dreams and hopes. We need one another! We truly desire to hold this up as a model at LAF. I pray we can do that even better than we are now. If you would care to share your speech with us, we would love to consider publishing it! I wish you all the best as you prepare for this talk. In Christ, Mrs. Chancey Dear LAF, I am so pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon your website! I have had several unhappy experiences at parties in the past few weeks due to others not including newcomers into conversations. I recalled my father's set of Ethel Cotton's series on Conversation. However I am not able to find where I might purchase it for many other friends (men as well!) who would like to cultivate the finer art of polite conversation. Would you help me, please? I have found Internet links to the publishers but am not able to locate the course itself. I would very much like to revive this interest among my friends, and thusly plant the seed towards forming a less abrasive and less "progressive" society among single adults. I have also decided to make my great interest also the opposition of the feminist movement, among Catholic circles. I am pursuing an MA in Theology/Philosophy to support this idea. Thank you in advance for your assistance, and many blessings to you in your ministry. Sincerely, Bonnie S. Greetings! What a delight to receive your note! Thank you for taking the time to write. :-) I am not familiar with the Ethel Cotton series, so I will forward your note to Mrs. Sherman, in case she has. I would recommend that you go to www.addall.com, which is a one-stop place for finding out-of-print books all over the world. I have had great success in finding obscure volumes there myself. I'll have to start keeping my eyes open for this series now as well, since my husband and I collect antique etiquette books (and my husband is in the midst of writing a book for young men). Thank you for the tip! Feminism has surely crept into the Church, and our aim at LAF is to hold up a mirror to ourselves and our sisters in Christ to demonstrate to them that feminism isn't something "out there" but something in ourselves (original sin!). We fully expect to find feminism in the world, for the world hates Christ. But to see it slowly strangling the beautiful role of women in the church and in Christian families is heartbreaking. I wish you all the best in your studies. We need thinking, devoted women who can live beautiful, Christian womanhood before a watching world. Fulfilling a woman's biblical role has never meant being a "doormat," contrary to popular misconception. The woman of God is intelligent, virtuous, wholehearted, gracious, understanding, sympathetic, diplomatic, willing to humble herself and more. What a role! It is far from stifling or limiting. Thank you again for writing, and may the Lord richly bless you! In Christ, Mrs. Chancey LAF, I am going to be honest and say that I only read the feedback article section of your site. Obviously you are bugging somebody. I will spend more time in the rest later. I just want to say that I am a stay-at-home mom with no apologies for it, nor do I feel I need to stand against the women who do not understand why. I only know that my relationship with our children and my husband could not be what it is if I was not home with them. I love having MY man take care of me. No, I am not weak. I am a lot stronger than a lot of men, I just don't have the need to compete with them, only help them such as building barns, putting on siding, pouring concrete, roofing, cutting wood etc. I am, for the most part, a pretty smart lady. I am glad for who I am and I am so thankful that I am confident to Whom I belong. Christ is my Lord and I love what He has done in my life. I do keep myself covered modestly, not because I am homely or heavy but because what I have I respect and I am not a spectacle to be stared at. We have a daughter that is the most graceful girl I have ever met and I am so thankful that the Lord is preparing a husband for her t ! hat will love her like she is the most precious ruby in the world. Our son will open a lady's door, give up his seat, and is learning to be tender with a girl or lady (not winging a kickball or snowball at a lady). He knows there is a difference, not only in physical but emotionally and he is to treat them differently. Both of our children respect us and 99% of the time obey us on the first time we ask them to do something. I am a blessed woman. No, my life has not been a wonderful bed of roses. There's been quite a few mistakes and rough spots along the way. I won't blame anyone and I have learned to use them as opportunites to learn and go on. We can't go on by looking back to the wrongs we have done or someone else has done to us. We really are responsible for our actions. No matter what society tries to tell us. Besides, I am a forgiven woman and I know my sins are washed away. Praise my God!!! I am thankful we are not created to be like animals. We are made in the image of a loving Heavenly Father and I pray that the women that visit your site will be able to have their hearts opened to a God that loves them more than they are able to comprehend. Even in the midst of them being totally against Who He is. While we were yet in our sin, Christ died for us. Thank you for your site and your time, Julie Dear LAF, There are many adjectives I could use to describe your website. Comforting, reassuring, uplifting. There are many and I am sure that you have heard them all from a multitude of relieved people, men and women, from across the USA and around the world. I am from England. I like to use the term 'relieved people' because I would imagine that there have been many many individuals, just like myself, who, having discovered your website, felt a delightful mixture of suprise and relief at such an open and bold display of truth and pure human goodness within the media in relation to women's issues. For many years the women's movement, with the cult of Feminism at its helm, has been little more than a fanatical creed based upon lies and deceit and motivated, at its often unseen core, by nothing other than hatred. History has witnessed on many occasions ideological movements evolving from being one which is based upon reason and reality and which seeks true justice, into being a quasi-religion whose hate-crazed 'priests' believe they are infallible and that anyone who disagrees with them are in someway comitting an unforgivable form of heresy. The contrast between the early campaigners for womens suffrage and contemporary feminism is as stark. It is important to stress that such a comparison is in no way an exaggeration. History has frequently demonstrated that when such a transformation takes place, the original cause is ultimately lost. When hatred takes control it will unwittingly and inevitably create its own antithesis. The early womens movement had its fanatics but it was essentially governed by the rightful goal of female suffrage. The role of motherhood and the importance of the family to women was unquestioned by the mainstream. Women were not asking to be pseudo men or demanding that men should be pseudo women. They were simply, and quite rightly, asking for political recognition as fellow citizens. Because of what feminism is, that is in jeopardy. Unless the helm of the womens movement is seized from the 'priests' of feminsm by good human beings, people such as yourself, the long term outlook for the position of women in society is bleak. I believe in a patriarchy, but I believe in a patriarchy in which women are considered equal to men as human beings. That is not a paradox. Our political, religious, cultural, business and scientific leaders should be men and a husband and father should be the head of his family. But it must always be remembered that without a well balanced, well brought up population with self discipline and morals, it would all count for absolutley nothing. For that the importance of every woman in carrying out their unique role of mother and wife within each family is as important to the world as Einsteins discovery of E=MC2. Please keep up your good work. Don't be discouraged by the fanatics, many of whom do not have true hatred at the bottom of their hearts, they are simply brainwashed. History has witnessed that to. God Bless, Peter C. God bless you ladies for standing on principle. This culture-weary guy is refreshed and encouraged by your site. Godly, modest women are truly the most beautiful of all of God's creations. I wish the well-known west coast evangelical university Im attending knew and taught the same thing. ~ Josh S. I have been looking for a website like this for a long time, I don't know why I did not find you earlier, God's timing I suppose. I have only been interested in modest and feminine dressing for just over a month. I am very thankful that such a resource is available, thank you. ~ Tracy G. Lady Lydia, I just wanted to say that I love the new look of the website. Also, I appreciate the regular addition of new articles. They keep my mind challenged and strengthen my resolve to rejoice in my womanhood, and to pass these values along to my daughters(ages 9 and 11). Thank you so much for the valuable encouragement you provide...it is so needed in this topsy-turvy world of ours! In Christ, Beth Greetings to those who make LAF possible! I love your new website and appreciate the updated articles and easy-to-use format. There is always something new to learn and much to inspire! Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your work. ~ Mrs. James T. I am so impressed with your site. I am a fashion design major in Southern California...and I must say it is not only refreshing but completely fantastic that you share this feminine information. I love this site it is one of my very favorites! ~ Hazel Thanks for writing the article about the myth of super woman. Lately I've been driving my own self crazy just thinking about all the stuff I wish I could do. Just reading that article eased alot of tension I had created for my self. When ever I do that again I know where to go to "cure" my self. ~ Julie I'm so glad to find your website! I so appreciate the articles and the good ideas and the teaching. I'm so refreshed by it all. I'm so thankful that there's a brave organization going against the current! We must be faithful in our calling. It seems that even many of the fundamental Christians I know are turning from Biblical womanhood. It seems that unless we don jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes and act "male", we're considered less somehow, even among some of our sisters in Christ. I thank God that He gave me a husband who believes in Biblical femininity and masculinity. I sure wouldn't be happy with a girlie husband. I can't imagine my husband wanting a manly woman! I never felt called to be in the workplace, but to be home raising our children and taking care of our home. I believe that my husband deserves a clean, calm, relaxing home. He is providing a wonderful life for me, and I am grateful to him for that. How could I give him less? Now that the children are raised and gone, I'm still just as busy as ever. A desire to serve will always find a need. And now there are grandchildren who visit!!! Thank you again for your website and the encouragement it brings. I've read some of the scathing feedback, and I feel so sad for these women who thinks our life is less when it is so much more. What God has commanded will ALWAYS bring the best. The world has nothing to offer. I pray these ladies find freedom in Christ. In His easy yoke, Laura This is the best thing that happened to a woman since Jesus Christ!! Absolutely superb! Lady Lydia, you're heaven sent! ~ Diana M. Thank you so much for this web site. I appreciate the attractive format, the intelligent, encouraging articles, and the effort it takes to put it all together. This morning I read the article "I am Doing a Great Work" and was so blessed! I do not normally spend time on the web, or recommend many sites to friends, but I am at yours nearly every week, and I recommend it to all my homeschooling friends. God bless you for your efforts on our behalf. ~ Jessie L. I just wanted to let you know that you have me thinking. I'm a woman who dresses mostly in jeans and t-shirts. I've often longed to be more feminine but don't really have a lot of money. And I don't really know anything about choosing styles that are good for my figure. At least you site gives me some things to look for. I did ask my husband what kind of clothes he prefers me in. He said jeans of any kind, dresses, skirts, and pants. I'm going to go to a class that the local Joanne Fabrics is having to teach you how to make your own patterns so that I can implement some of my own ideas for making myself be more feminine. Thank you for your site and the information it offers. I have been so blessed by your website and the beautiful writings it contains. I have been married for almost 11 years (10 and a half) to the most WONDERFUL man that one could imagine but I have been slipping further and further away from the pretty, feminine girl that he married. I found LAF thru the Fascinating Womanhood website and sat nearly the afternoon away reading article after article on LAF. What a blessing! Thank you to all of the lovely and intelligent ladies that make LAF possible. I have returned to dresses, wearing my hair either up or down with a pretty bow, and taking my time to be as attractive as I can for my Darling Husband. I have found the wonderful Bible Memory cards to carry with me and memorize Scripture from your site, and I have discovered that there are ladies with gentle hearts like mine that long for peace and feminity to guide their lives. Thank you again, Mrs. Francisco J. Dear Friends, Congratulations! I am an Orthodox priest in England, married with six children. We are delighted to have discovered your site. Apart from the parish, I run a website (www.orthodoxengland.org.uk) and we are putting in a link to your wonderful site, whose values we have always shared. May God bless your wonderful work! In Christ, Fr Andrew Dear Mrs. Chancey, I just adore your site. I love your unfaltering, researched, and clear message, and I LOVE how non-judgmental and unpretentious your tone is. I could and do send this link to unbelievers and not submit them to a bunch of silly name calling and hyperpretentious finger-wagging. You and all your writers are brilliant in getting your point accross so well, with the grace, unapoligetic Biblical backing and true compassion of a real lady. I am a new wife (married June 1st!) and am the only one in my town it seems who practicies biblical womanhood. I love the encoragment from your site- I really need it sometimes! Thank you. Mrs. B. Dear Mrs. B., Congratulations on your marriage! May the Lord bless you as you seek to fulfill your role at home with intelligence and joy. What a privilege it is! I am so glad that you have enjoyed LAF. It is my prayer that we will be able to put across a strong, biblical message without appearing angry or Pharisaical. It is a bit difficult to communicate a "voice" over the faceless medium of the Internet, but I am glad to hear that you "read" us the way you do. I pray others will, too, and that the Lord will continue to help us grow in grace and communicate that grace to others. Beautiful womanhood isn't something you cram down someone's throat, rather, it is something we all need to live in such a winsome way that others come to long for it. That is the gospel to the world: lives changed because of Christ's atoning work on the cross. Thank you so much for taking the time to write, and have a wonderful week! In Christ, Mrs. Chancey I just wanted to thank you so much for the encouragement I have received from reading articles on LAF. I know that God has led me to your site and inspired me. He often drops little seeds to light my path. In my case, I happened to be already reading "Feminist Fantasies" by Phyllis Schlafly and what a coincidence to find it on your list of recommended books. I have never called myself a feminist and as a Christian have found most of their ideology repugnant, but I have found that one cannot escape entirely from their messages that have saturated our society. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I am doing good work being both a homemaker and mother. Your website has truly inspired me to have confidence in my vocation. I believe the Lord has truly given your website to me to calm me and also as a potent antidote to the feminist poison saturating our culture. Your site is like a vaccine against feminist propaganda. Whereas the path of feminism often leads to bitterness, severe discontent, and regret true femininity is the path of true contentment. I also wanted to mention that I am extremely excited that you really advocate feminine dress. Before finding your site, I recently lamented to myself that I was tired of my standard home-maker's uniform of jeans, sweats, and other "comfortable" clothing. I realized that I'd forgotten how to look like a real woman. Being at home, I reasoned that there really was no reason to buy many dresses or skirts since I would only wear them to church. It just did not seem feasible to be cleaning and cooking all day while in a nice skirt even though plenty of women in the past have handled such tasks without problem. I realized that clothes shopping is something that over the years, I had become increasingly resistant to. I was only looking for strictly practical clothing, but in the process, I'd forgotten how to look like a true feminine woman! With your help, you have motivated me to clean up my look. Today, (a Tuesday) I shall put on a skirt! Thank you so much! Please keep the articles coming! Your site has now become my favorite. Feminism has robbed so much from us, but we do not have to continue down its destructive path. On another note, I now know why I am always drawn to nice period films and novels like "Emma" or "Pride and Prejudice" and "Anne of Green Gables". It is because the women were real women and men were real men and their costumes are extremely distinctive of one another! Thank you so much, C. M. L. What a beautiful site. The articles certainly make me think, and encourage me as I mother my three dear daughters and one sweet baby son. Thank you for putting this together. I traveled to this site courtesy of a friend. I cannot say I am anti-feminist in the sense that I do believe if a woman is going to do the equal work she should get the equal pay however, I must say that seldom can we physically do equal work or do it single mindedly. I am a stay at home mother. We live on military pay so we certainly aren't rich and I believe we (being women) have somehow been so misguided that women are now more a sexually objectionalized than ever before in history simply because we have let sciety do that to us by how we dress and how we kill ourselves to look more "attactive" to men. By the attitude I encounter I find that if I decide to make the CHOICE to raise my children as opposed to the day care system (which has yet to prove through any study to be more beneficial than a parent) I am referred to as "kept" "stupid" "dominated" or "un-educated" and yet I am none of the above. I am smart, friendly, beautiful and blessed enough to be the wife of one of the most incredible husbands who ever lived. I am smart enough to know that I didn't have to read a study telling me that I can help my child be smarter by talking to them, I can prevent them from drug use by being involved, I can help them be better prepared for adulthood by teaching them through my example. I have found that the happiest homes are the ones where women are free to be women, to nurture, humor and yes rear children while they create and enviroment of love for their children and husbands. It doesn't take the psychologist to tell me that guilt ridden parents (particularly mother's will try to buy off their children) often become overly permissive and then their children become more prone to destructive behavior, the Word of God has already made that clear. My husband is in the military, he deploys for war soon, what a blessing to know that when he has free time from work I do not have to battle a tyrant work schedule to spend these precious days with him and my children. I have chosen recently to free-lance interior decorate from my home. The money is there but the children watch me pursue a goal, handle money and actually help w/ sewing projects etc. I determine where when and how I work and I have the freedom to say "NO" to anything that would keep me from a game or school outing. Gee! and the other way is freedom and I'm in bondage??? Guess I'm confused..... This site has some wonderful articles as well in celebration of being a woman and I am the long flowing hair in the gauzy dress with a serene smile but I am also one smart chick who loves that I have made a wise choice for my life. In the end I will have enough to regret in my life not to add willingly to it by deciding my husband and children were not important enough to put first in my life. Mrs C S. Ft Hood Tx Oh, what a lovely site! I found you through Google, while doing a search on the new book "Daycare Deception." I'm a 34 year old single woman (Eastern Orthodox) who prays for nothing more than the chance to be a wife and SAHM. What makes things incredibly difficult are the lack of godly men. But I keep praying and folks at my church are very supportive. God bless! ~ Michele H. I just read Mrs. Sherman's article "What's a Girl To Do?" and loved it. I was a homemaker for almost 20 years and did without the latest fashions, etc. to be at home while my sons grew up. Those were wonderful years and my sons are thankful I was home with them. Now, my sons are grown and I have two grandchildren (a 2 year old grandson and a pre-born grandchild.) In submission to my husband, I work as a Realtor and I subcontract light secretarial duties from home. I am so blessed as the LORD has made me able to work mostly from my home. It is a challenge to be a Godly woman in this culture as feminism has tried to destroy homes and families. I find Mrs. Sherman's articles full of Godly wisdom and great encouragement. Thank you, Angela W. Southern Illinois P.S. ~ I love your new design of a website. It is so easy to read! Im 19 years old and I am strongly an anti-Feminist. It's a breath of fresh air to see a site like yours and PLEASE DON'T STOP IT. I know you'll recieve hate mail from people who don't have two brain cells to rub together but your site is 100% correct and I applaud you for that. Thankyou for speaking the truth about how everything should be. ~ Leslie Thank you so much for making this site! I have been searching for somewhere on the Internet with this kind of Godly encouragement! I can wait to share the information I have found here with my 14 year old daughter tomorrow. ~ Mrs Therese F Dear L.A.F., I continue to return to your website because of the inspiration I draw from it. As a homeschooling mother of two and wife of a kind, hardworking, godly man, I have learned so much from wise women whom God has placed in my life. I consider the ladies who contribute to this site to be mentors, alongside Edith Schaffer, Nancy Lee DeMoss, Elisabeth Elliot, and a handful of other dear girlfriends and neighbors. My life would have taken a very different path if God had not lovingly and gently used other women to steer me. Thank you for the time and care you spend on this most important of Biblical Femininity, Angela B I really enjoyed your website today. It sends God-Given chills down my spin to know and realize that there are women that deeply care about the things of Christ and Scripture. I also agree that as christians our job isn't to protest or change the culture through laws. But only with the Life-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your web-site is a great fresh aire in a world full of mud and grime. Keep up the Go"o"d work and Hang on to the Only Girl-Power around Christ's Power. Love and support, and keep always abounding in the work of Christ. Pastor Dave D WOW - this site is amazing! This is just the kind of encouragement I needed. I'm a Christian, female college student on a very liberal campus and I strive to remain pure and keep my relationship with God as top priority, because that's the only thing that gets me through some days. I have two extremely feminist women professors, and the rest are men, but they are also very liberal. It's not easy, but your site has been so encouraging, and it gives me a lot of great insight for how to present myself as a woman, how to act and dress, and what to think of feminists - and I don't think highly of them at all. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!! ~ Tracy W. First of all i have to apologize for my poor english. My mother tongue is german.As so many times before i had a discussion with my colleague today. Topic: http://users.rcn.com/nh-now/celebrate_b.html She is a student, 25 years and full of feminism. Every day i hear slogans like:"My body is my property! I can do with it what ever i want. I will never become a bloody housewife..." - so i was not very surprised to hear her opinion. When ever i (28years old, male) talk to people at the same age about this topic i get conclusions like: "You do not fit in this century! This is rubbish! You have to think modern...." After all i felt very disappointed tody so i searched the internet if ANYONE might have similar thoughts. So i found you! My personal thoughts about women: The most noble destiny of women is becoming a loving affectionate mother and housewife. I admire and adore my own and all mothers who i think are the spine of every society. Espacially in our rough time it is very very important to have a "classic", harmonius family. Therefore you need WOMEN not girls! This, and egosim, is the main problem of our time! If more girls would grow up to women and further to LADIES this world would be a better one! ~ Martin I just wanted express my appreciation for your website. Today, I bathed in the sweet idea of being a Queen. There are times, I truly feel like a queen in my home. Today, of all days,(while I was driving in the car) my mind was pondering as to whether or not I live in a bit of a fantasy world to be thinking of myself as a queen. When I arrived home, I took a look to see if you had updated your front page. It was of great interest that I read your article, "Are You a Queen?" My five children and my husband, most often,do treat me like a Queen. My goal is to behave like a Queen as well. Though, I am not as queen like as I would like to be. I thank God for this kindess that is given to me as a woman. I do not feel like a house wife, who lives a life of slavery. In the world at times, I do feel disdained. But, not in my home. Your web site is an inspiration and exhortation to honor the Lord in our homes. I appreciate this very much. Sincerely, Denise Dear LAF, I return to visit your site time after time - actually, almost every day! - as I find it so encouraging, and I am always thrilled to find new articles posted. I perhaps should mention that although I am 42 years old, I am very newly on my Christian path and I have found my views on such matters as "feminism" somewhat turned upon their heads - much to my own surprise!! Although I enjoy reading all the articles posted, and find many of them very thought-provoking, I have found the pieces written on feminine dressing to be incredibly helpful. Indeed, after reading the excellent article written by Carolyn Muir ("How to Dress Modestly in a Modern World" - 13th October 2003) this is what has prompted me to write to you today to say "thank you" for all the help and encouragement you provide for ladies like me! Kind regards, Mrs Sharon L Thank you for providing this site for my encouragement. I check it almost every day to see if any new articles are posted. It's hard to feel validated as a wife and homemaker in today's world, and I can't tell you how much your support means to me. Suzan Thank you and God bless you all, it has been a beautiful experience browsing through your different pages and I shall continue to do so as often as I can. A breath of fresh air, just what I needed! Anna, mother of four beautiful children and wife of a loving husband. Dear LAF, I am a young married Christian woman who is praising God that my Godly girlfriend recommended this site to me! I am so excited about glorifying God by being feminine. It has come to a point where I need to buy clothes again and I cannot wait to buy feminine and modest items talked about in your articles on dress. My wonderful husband also loves skirts and dresses so he is also looking forward to our shopping trips also! Living in California and dressing femininely and modestly will be a challenge, but I now feel encouraged and prepared. Thank you LAF!!! God bless!!! ~ Mrs M J S Dear sisters of LAF, I am most grateful for the incredible witness to the truth that I have found within the hearts of those who have built LAF. God is fully glorified in men and women who are willing to pursue His plans and purposes. The purpose of my note is actually more serious in nature, though. I am a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, and, even though I was not originally raised to see modesty and femininity, I have been driven by God to a very powerful realization of the weight within the truth. Moody has been an institution that has been very driven to promote modesty and femininity (as well as masculinity) in the past, but something has changed in the last 15 years. There is now a raging war for truth, and the truth is being pushed into the corner. Modesty is dying here, and men and women sometimes seem to know little of what they can seek to be in God's will. My own burden as a young man seeking to be after God's heart is to speak truth in love and not to be weak about it. I am being opposed fiercely, though, even in my gentleness. The enemy is determined to hold its ground. My fearful realization is that at Moody, one of the most respected institutions in the world, we are accountable before God in a deeper way. We are the leaders of a generation, and if we do not stand then its likely that almost nobody will. I would ask that everyone who sees the need would pray with great fervency for this place. God's blessing has thus far rested upon all that has transpired here, but I fear we are beginning to be relativistic. Nonetheless, I will find my joy in His perfect ways, and I will stand no matter what. Continue to be strong and courageous, and know that a new generation continues to strive against a worldly culture that fears modesty in its own insecurity. With admiration and respect in Christ, Luke > John 3:30 > Thank you for your site! I am so encouraged and blessed by the contents. I feel like an island most of the time....this really encourages me to press on and do it God's way. I feel with God's grace I am becoming a better wife and mother and learning to die each day to my own selfish ways. Please keep up the excellent work! You are touching many out in the world. ~ Kristin W. I simply love your website. I love reading the new stories you post and I find it a great source of inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for all the effort you make to keep this site going. I also love the sensiblity website and recently ordered the Regency gown as well as the Edwardian apron. I've spread the word and already I know of one other family who also ordered these and enjoy this forum. Once again, you are doing a great ministry through this website. ~ Kathryn S. © Copyright 2002-2008 by LAF/BeautifulWomanhood.org
