There are several reasons. One is Deuteronomy 22:5, which reads, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” If there is one thing I don’t want to be it is, “abomination [...]
Wow! Pastor preached a good one this morning! It was on the home. Fantastic! One thing he said is something the Lord has been working with me on. It had to do with we women with strong personalities. Is that a nice way to put it? I forget how Pastor put it. Anyway, the families [...]
In 1995 my husband and I attended Bill Gothard’s Advanced Seminar. I do not agree with everything put out by IBLP (Two of my concerns are, a different understanding concerning Bible translations and dress standards); but the best thing in the seminar for us was an understanding we gained concerning what motivates people.

Several years ago my husband said as he was leaving for the day, that when he was finished with some errands he would stop by and pick Steven up from working for a friend. I usually picked Steven up after work; so, when Steven finished his work he called to say I could run over [...]
A friend in Selmer Tennessee got me started making Christmas stockings from fabric swatches discarded by furniture stores. She invited the girls and me over for a crafting day, and we had a wonderful time. She gave me some mink and muskrat fur to make a cuff for each stocking.
In early December I was talking to our Abba (Daddy) Father, telling him how there were so many things I would like to give to my husband for Christmas. I wasn’t thinking about gifts for the children because I assumed that my husband would plan for that. I talk to the LORD like I talk [...]
