The Power of Prayer in Lives of a Soon to be Wed Couple

| June 5, 2013

The Story Behind the Photo Moments before I was to walk down the aisle my soon to be mother in law came in the dressing room where my bridesmaids and I were all gushing with giggles and fluttering about finishing last minute details. “Sweetheart, your groom has called for you!”. Read the rest here.

Homeschooled and Now Without a Home to School In?

| April 30, 2013

In an internationally watched court case that could determine whether German homeschoolers will be granted asylum or deported by the American government, the Romeike family had its asylum petition heard in a Cincinnati courtroom last Tuesday. In Romeike v. Holder (“Holder” is Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General), the Obama Administration presented oral arguments intended [...]

The “Miracle” of Dad’s Ten Thousand Grandchildren by Doug Phillips

| April 27, 2013

I want to tell you about a very special “miracle” —-it sure feels like one, but first I need to give you the backdrop. There are two very important things you need to know about my father’s lifetime battle to defend unborn babies. The first is his public record as a defender of life, and [...]

Post-abortion mom: ‘I wish abortion was illegal! I would be with my child’

| April 10, 2013

Hannah has come to deeply regret her ‘choice’. She wishes that ending her baby’s life had never been a legal option for her. “I know I wouldn’t have made that choice if it were not so accessible to me. I would have dealt with my consequences as I should have,” she said. “I wish abortion [...]

| December 20, 2012

How Could a Loving God? is a very personal book for Ken Ham. In it he tells how he and his family worked through the grief of losing Ken’s brother, Robert, to a brain disease in his forties. After the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Ham answered the following questions in hopes to settle our minds [...]

Childless on Mother’s Day

| May 13, 2012

From Lauren Casper’s blog: There are so many women in our lives who are hurting and who dread Mother’s Day. We may not even recognize them but they are there. They’re the ones who dread church on Sunday morning and perhaps choose to stay home. They are dreading the sermon that will inevitably be geared [...]

Provision

| May 5, 2012

This is a subject I wanted to touch upon when I wrote my last post, but time simply did not permit, so here I am now. The skeptical question of “how can you afford so many children?” is often simply answered by, “God provides,” and this, in return, gets a lot of raised eyebrows. “Don’t you [...]

From My Heart to Yours–The Lord Has Taken Away

| January 15, 2012

From Families Alive comes this heart-wrenching but beautiful post: Susan…accident…waterfall…fatal. The words hit like a ton of bricks. Tears streaming down my face. Kids questioning, “Mom, what’s wrong?” My heart screamed, No, God – this can’t be right! There must be some mistake! There was no mistake. That family vacationing in Maui went from celebrating [...]

If I Could Only Be Like Her

| December 27, 2011

This is a wonderful post I just discovered this evening: We all know her. She is the woman who has it all together. She has the love of 1 Corinthians 13 down pat and she never falters. She always smiles at her husband and is his constant encouragement. She is gentle and kind and practices [...]

An Open Letter to Suze Orman

| December 7, 2011

I think this post has gone viral in the last 24 hours. It’s just plain common sense, but I can’t even count how many times people have asked us how on earth we can afford to have “so many” children. If every child cost us $700-1000 a month, then, yes, we might be in trouble [...]

Why Me? (and other musings on the theory of pity parties)

| September 17, 2011

Shelby Courtney has written a wonderful post about walking away from a me-centered mindset and learning to look at life through Christ’s lens: WHY?  Why does it always have to be me?  Why can’t I get to spread happy news about myself, and somebody else get to experience the joy that comes with only having [...]

Social Media – Inspiration for Finding Your Balance

| August 11, 2011

Trina Holden has a wonderful “confession” up at Passionate Homemaking: My addiction was out of hand. Though I knew it was unhealthy, I indulged multiple times a day, couldn’t go 24 hours without withdrawal symptoms, and constantly made excuses for my habit. My vice? Social Media. This tool – wonderful for networking, business, and ministry [...]

Sewing Love: The Full Report!

| July 30, 2011

I’ve just gotten the photos from our friend in Alabama who helped pull off this huge surprise for the Crawford and Lee ladies–the families who lost everything in the tornadoes that tore through Alabama in April. Once again, a huge, huge thank-you to everyone who sent physical donations. Such an abundance of sewing notions, fabrics, [...]

Preview of the results of “Sewing Love!

| July 18, 2011

I got a few quickie photos taken by a friend back in Alabama and hope to post a full report with more pictures soon, but I wanted to get this up now so you could see a preview of the thrilling day!

Oops, there goes my gender!

| July 5, 2011

When Jennie Chancey initially approached me about being a contributor to the Ladies Against Feminism blog, my first reaction was to assure her that I am not a lady against feminism at all. Rather, I am a man against feminism. The clarification was necessary, because I have developed more than a few online acquaintances who, [...]
