“You have greatly helped me let go of senseless and foolish anger towards my husband who was always a good man. You showed me I was tearing down my house with my own hands. I also gained peace when I stopped obsessively following politics. I think women, who are easily riled up and I speak for myself with that, would do well to hold to politics more loosely. God created a beautiful world and loving relationships, and I try to…
Yesterday, I had to take my daughter to get her car that had been fixed. We stopped at a major intersection and an older white woman was walking slowly across the intersection in front of us. A young Mexican woman on the corner was holding up a sign. It looked like a bunch of scribble but I am thinking it was something about Black Lives Matter since this is common these days. As the white woman neared the corner, all…
President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barret to the Supreme Court of America on Saturday. The many pro-life conservatives are extremely excited. I am a pro-life conservative. I want a judge like her who loves America and the Constitution. However, I am sad that she will be unavailable for her seven children. The job that she will most likely have is time-consuming and will keep her away from home a lot. Yes, I want a pro-life conservative on the Supreme Court….
Written By Michael Davis One question I would ask a woman who’s thinking about divorcing a man simply because they’ve “grown apart” is, “In what way is your life going to be improved by divorce? This is presumably the man who knows you better than any other person on the planet, has accepted you as you are, has raised children with you, has provided for you, has been faithful to you, and has given you a home. So what situation…
Here’s a comment that was left on my post last Friday about my tumor growing back: “I will pray for you, Lori, but I still want to ask if you’re 100 percent sure you’ll go to heaven when you die, and the reason why I say that is because I think that you are Calvinist. You keep saying that God is ‘sovereign,’ a word never found in the Bible and also every time that you hear a story about a…
Written By Ken Alexander On one of our regular two-mile walks yesterday, we ran into a neighbor who began talking about someone who had ten children from three different wives. Ken exclaimed, “Oh, I have been married for 39 years to three different women too!” The man gently patted me on the shoulder and asked, “How you doing?” Let me tell you about my three wives. My first wife was very cute and feisty and I reveled at the challenge…
Last week, I had to have a brain MRI. I have had many and I despise them. They harness your head and tell you to not move. Then they slip you into a tube and for almost an hour, it’s like someone is jack hammering around your head. It’s so loud that it’s hard to pray or sing a song in one’s head. It’s something I just have to endure. This past one, I had a wonderful tech who gave…
Yesterday, I found out that my brain tumor is growing again. It was disheartening news to say the least, but I do know that my time is in His hands (Psalm 31:15). God is good and His plan for me is good regardless of what that means for me (Romans 8:28). It’s been an almost 17 year journey with this pesky brain tumor now. It began when I was 45 years old when I had my first brain surgery. They…
The other day, I tweeted this: “She pours so much love and grace upon him that he can’t help loving her. When he’s short with her and may say something cruel to her, she may shed a few tears but she never returns his words with anger or gives the silent treatment, but forgives quickly and pours grace and love upon him.” Oh, and did this offend some women as usual. They can’t stand the idea of being silent in…
Back in the days when only men preached behind pulpits, people knew what preaching was. Now that many women preach, people are confused with what it actually means. Many have accused me of preaching since I write biblical truths for a blog and social media. Do I preach? No! I teach biblical womanhood as God has commanded that older women do. Writing for a blog and on social media is NOT preaching. If you carefully read through Acts, you will…
