~Bren~ At Pieces from Me has written a very wise and thoughtful look at her second chance at parenting, this time her adopted children.
Parenting…The Advanced Course
Another change in this round of parenting, is the social scene for our children. We spend time as a family more than when we were raising the boys. Bud was [...]

What Should a Christian Wife Do When Her Husband is Unsaved?
June 1, 2009
“What should a Christian wife do when her husband is unsaved? What if he won’t support homeschooling, won’t go to church, etc?”
Christians should not marry non-Christians under any circumstances. When Christians willingly become unequally yoked, they have disobeyed the Lord and will suffer the consequences of disobedience. Nevertheless, the Lord is merciful, forgiving and [...]

A woman onced fretted over the usefulness of her life.
She feared she was wasting her potential being a devoted wife and mother.
She wondered if the time and energy she invested in her husband
and children would make a difference.
At times she got discouraged because so much of what she did
seemed to [...]
Silly, Weak Willed Women Swayed by Strangers
March 16, 2009
2 Tim 3:6-7
6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. ESV
This verse seems to be explained very well by the following little story.
The Stranger
A few years after [...]
Homeschoolers Ordered to Public School for Their Best Interest !?!
March 12, 2009
Judge orders homeschoolers into public district classrooms
A North Carolina judge has ordered three children to attend public schools this fall because the homeschooling their mother has provided over the last four years needs to be “challenged.”
The children, however, have tested above their grade levels – by as much as two years.
The decision is raising eyebrows [...]

Modest Fashion Week – March 9 – 13
March 5, 2009
This might be a very interesting discussion on modesty. I have enjoyed reading the posts at Stay-At-Home Missionary for quite a while. I think you ladies will enjoy the discussion also.
Beauty, Modesty, and Femininity from Stay-At-Home Missionary
Now, I know that many people have many different ideas of what modesty is and what modesty is not. [...]
Nursery Use In The Church
March 3, 2009
Several Months ago I listened to Jeff Noblit’s sermon about why their church encourages nursery use. This is unusual to me when taken in the context of the rest of the sermons that I have listened to of Noblit’s. We also don’t use the nursery personally so I was curious as to why he encouraged [...]
Charo Washer – “Becoming Esther”
February 12, 2009
Don’t waste your singleness by just waiting for Prince Charming to come along. Prepare for your future life of service to God and future husband if God so desires.
Charo Washer
Singleness is not a waste of time or a sitting on the sidelines,but a time that God has set aside especially for the woman, to [...]
SBC and Labyrinth Walking ???

Labyrinth-Walking Now Welcome in the SBC
We received this week our latest issue of Missions Mosaic, the magazine printed by the SBC for the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU). I routinely screen anything coming to our church.
The red flags appeared when I saw an article entitled “Reclaim Meditation”.

Are you a virtuous woman or a sensual woman?
Your Epidermis Is Showing and I Don’t Want to See It !!!
November 21, 2008
This is an old post but still very applicable. Here is a humorous look at the need for modesty.
An open letter to “Hoochie Mamas”
Yes, you know who you are. You are everywhere. Tell me, please—where can I flee from your presence? You are my age (30’s-40’s+) and you are spending way too much time in [...]
Modesty Survey – The Rebelution (1 Tim 4:12)
November 14, 2008
Modesty Alert Post – This may not be appropriate for men who do not have daughters or are not in leadership over women.
Although the survey answers were done by teens and men, 12 – 60 years old, they can be rather frank in their descriptions of immodest attire, clothing items and behavior in women. [...]
“Free to Be Modest” by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
November 13, 2008
I have had several fans of the “Bama Twins” get quite upset with my stating that they dress immodestly. The conclusion I’ve arrived at is:
Those who are defending immodesty are the “Lord” of their lives and they refuse to allow Jesus to be Lord of their lives, despite the lip service they give on [...]
Walking Billboards – Stacy McDonald
November 12, 2008
Wear that is commonly called “Jesus-wear” is a fad that has been around for years. Youth groups try to outdo each other in the “best” Christian T-shirt. There is always a new slogan or verse found to “share the gospel” with the passersby. I won’t go into why I feel that most of that is [...]
Modesty – Nakedness in the Bible
November 11, 2008
When God was giving Moses instructions for the temple and for the priests, He gave very detailed instructions. Right down to the under garments! For those who think wrongly, that the Lord does not care about our clothing, all you have to do is actually read through the Bible.
Ex 28:42-43
42 And thou shalt make [...]

(Sorry for the bad links, I think they are fixed.)
Christian women have obligation to dress modestly, Mary Mohler says
The world’s attitude toward fashion, Mohler said, should not be the church’s.
“The [world's] attitude is if you’ve got it, flaunt it,” she said. “Leave as little to the imagination as possible. Regenerate Christian women, I don’t believe, [...]
Don’t Let Your Daughter Send an Invitation to Her Party – Revive Our Hearts
November 7, 2008
By Trent Griffith
If I remember right, the year was 1985. As a pimple-faced high-school senior, I attended a Christian youth convention along with 7,000 other bundles of exploding hormones (otherwise known as teenagers). The keynote speaker was a young and impressive black preacher who held us on the edge of our seats with his high [...]
Maidens of Virtue – Stacy McDonald
November 5, 2008
Stacy McDonald author of Raising Maidens of Virtue: A Study of Feminine Loveliness for Mothers and Daughters in a post about Modesty had these questions.
If our hearts are truly modest, then our demeanor, our dress, our speech, and attitude will all eventually line up. Sometimes it means we need to be taught and challenged, but [...]

November 4, 2008
Take this test by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and see what you think.
1. According to the Bible, the primary purpose of clothing is to cover the body.
2. There’s nothing right or wrong about particular clothing styles. It’s all just a matter of taste and personal opinion.
3. The Bible tells us what styles of clothing Christians should [...]
