Robert W. Patterson of The Family in America has a fantastic, thought-provoking article up about how we cannot grow the economy without restoring marriage and the family first. Families produce wealth and grow nations. [W]hat does it mean to “grow” the economy? The growth that the typical American family wants to see is the kind [...]

Mercatornet has been on a roll this week with fabulous pieces on the family as society’s foundation. First, there’s Sergio Belardinelli’s presentation about the influence of the home, recently given at the third annual conference of the Home Renaissance Foundation in London: The great challenges we face – from bioethics to biopolitics, from problems of [...]

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, [...]

It’s meant as a compliment. I know that. I really, truly know that. I know that, having blogged as much as I did, having written a book, being the daughter of a prominent pastor, and just being an older girl, I’m going to get things like that. And yet, whenever someone looks at me and says, “I [...]

The phone company provided internet service for us today, and I wanted to post a quick update. I haven’t had time or access in recent days, but I have a few minutes to post before doing the next thing! Read all the prayer requests and praises HERE.

Kim over at Life in a Shoe has an excellent post about practicing hospitality: This week the 4 Moms are talking about having guests for dinner. Not in a cannibalistic way – which would be forbidden in the Bible – but in a hospitality way, which is actually commanded in the Bible. Show hospitality to [...]

Just as Kelly Crawford wrote words of encouragement after the tornado destroyed their home, Sherry Lee has written a lovely post on her blog about how they are doing: Words simply cannot express how full of gratitude our hearts are right now. We have been sustained by our loving Heavenly Father’s mighty hand and overwhelmed [...]

Kelly, whose family lost their home in the recent tornadoes, has written a beautiful update on her blog: I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to you, to our church family, to our friends and family abroad, to complete strangers, to friends we haven’t seen in years, to the surrounding churches and communities, to [...]

Respected US research organisation Child Trends has published a study showing that children tend to do well when their parents have a happy relationship — and vice-versa. So far, so good. In more detail the researchers claim: Almost without exception, the lowest levels of positive child outcomes are found among children in families where the [...]

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 [...]

November 2008 was not the best month for me. As the days grew shorter, I grew increasingly dejected. Toward the end of the month, I was diagnosed with a condition that would make conceiving a child incredibly difficult. I faced the prospect of at least two major surgeries to fix what was wrong. In spite [...]

I used to have nightmares about mannequins when I was a little girl. Seriously. They creeped me out. No matter where the dream started, I always ended up running from an army of mannequins, gasping for air as I finally made it to Daddy’s office, tentatively calling out his name, my eyes pinned to the [...]

What is home culture, you ask? Home culture is the atmosphere that is purposefully and intentionally cultivated within the four walls of your home. It is the music when you walk in the door, it is the conversation at the dinner table, it is games played by the fireside, it is the singing when your [...]

“The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams.” ~Simone de Beauvoir Someday, I would like to get married to a man who I can follow to the ends of the earth as he follows full-heartedly after Christ. Someday, I would like [...]

She was busy running the women’s ministry at church. She would rush home and get ready for her MOPS meeting and then later in the day she knew she would somehow try to fit in the desperately needed shopping trip to host the monthly bible study in her home. She also had to run Johnny [...]
