What’s happening to me? Usually I have to drag myself away from the computer, and lately I can hardly force myself to blog.
I feel consumed with mothering. It’s not that I’m doing it any better than I have in the past. It’s also not that I’m complaining or feeling unusually burdened. I just can’t seem [...]

I see the push to normalize homosexual behavior in our culture as the leading front (or one of them) in the cuture wars. It’s at the heart of the attack against the Biblical family, and is being used to chip away, in our culture, at the fundamental social unit in society - the family - but chipping away at the preceived differences between the genders and their roles.

My good friend Doug Phillips has this to say:
“I respectfully disagree with part of that statement. I am confident that Mrs. Palin is a delightful, sincere, thoughtful, and capable woman with many commendable virtues. But in fairness, there is nothing “traditional” about mothers of young children becoming career moms, chief magistrates and leading nations of [...]

The Three Gs, which all - boys and girls, men and women - need to know and study for all our lives, must be understood in their biblical context. They need to be learned in the context of the antithesis. What is antithesis? Such a fancy term has a pretty basic meaning. It’s us versus [...]

Do you think your vote will go to waste?
Does a Clinton or Obama presidency terrify you?
Think voting for a candidate whose poll numbers are low is a waste?
From Doug Phillips blog:
More important than who wins or loses the 2008 election is this: will Christians look to the Bible as their absolute standard for determining what [...]

Lately I have been wondering, if you put a envelope with your own address as the to address and, say… My address as the return address then dropped it in one of those mailboxes outside of Wal-Mart without any postage, would they “return” it to the “sender” (me) or send it [...]

Morning sickness has been on my mind lately - or more accurately, the lack of morning sickness.
I have had only the barest hint of nausea. It comes and goes almost without my notice. This is not at all typical for me - I’ve had 2 pregnancies with minor nausea. One brought forth [...]

I filled up the van this afternoon and calculated the gas mileage. Bear with me, because I did all of the following in my head while driving.358 miles divided by 29 gallons = approx. 12 mpg.“12 miles per gallon? That stinks,” thought I.Then I played with the [...]

My line about making sad eyes at each other has been quoted more than once. Here is a more complete context of the line:
“Don’t go to these links expecting to read soft words of sorrow and sympathy. We all mourn the victims and the wickedness that was done, but standing about making sad eyes [...]

My reply:
God brings judgment upon the nations in many forms. One way is in the depravity of the people.
Psa 81:11-12 “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to [...]

I wasn’t going to post on the subject, but my young friend Cara has a few wise words that I really had to pass along for others to see. Please take 90 seconds and go read No Window Jumping.
Much longer but also well worth the time: Doug Phillips’ post On The Horror At Virginia [...]

If you would be free to sail the seven seas, you must make yourself a slave to the compass. By nature, man desires something he cannot have: total freedom. There are certain freedoms we can have, but they have corresponding bondages. And there are certain bondages we can have which afford us [...]

My husband and I were discussing romance novels the other day, and I have to say that I have always thought of romance novels as p*rn for women. While men often have a weakness toward straying visually, I think that emotional straying is a weakness common to women. Romance novels fit the bill. [...]

You’ve probably heard about General Pace’s position on homosexuality and all the trouble he has stirred up by daring to claim a firm moral standard.I love Joseph Farrah’s question:
…according to this idiot (Sharon Alexander, the deputy policy director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a homosexual activist group), people in positions of authority must divorce [...]
