One of our beloved cats died yesterday. Rascal was almost eleven years old. We bought him along with a female cat named “Baby” so he could have a friend. We had them both indoors for seven years but due to family having allergies to cats, we had to lock them in our garage. We soon decided that they needed freedom, so during the day, I opened the garage door just enough for them to scoot under it to get out….
On October 30th, Beth Moore wrote the following as tweets: “Single Christian women, I’m not one to give a lot of dating advice but I find myself unable to recommend you marrying bros with the words eternal submission in their social media bios or their pinned tweets.” Then she followed up with this tweet: “Now I’m just looking out for you here. I don’t trust a dude for marriage who’s utterly fixated on the word submission. And if his life…
King Jehoshaphat was a benevolent king. Oh, don’t you love benevolent leaders! Life is so much better when leaders care about their citizens and do what is best for them. Any way, back to the story. “A great multitude” was coming up against Jehoshaphat and his people. “And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.” Did you see how he handled his fear against his enemies, women? He went immediately to…
Look at this picture. It was taken in the 50s or 60s. I am not sure. But there are a few things to notice in it. People were far thinner back then, and women dressed much more modestly. Obesity rates among adults in the US in 1950 was 10 percent. In 2020, it was 42.4 percent of adults. It has increased 26 percent just since 2008. Learning to eat in moderation is greatly needed in this country. Up to 80…
A man who goes by @GenealogyofAdam on Twitter wrote the following: “I’ve noticed a trend that many people complaining about ‘purity culture’ are really just complaining about Christian sexual ethics, and it almost exclusively seems to be women.” One man responded: “Purity culture in itself sounds like a great idea on paper, but in reality it can be extremely toxic and lead to far worse things. I am an example of this. I grew up in it and held an…
“The creative mind finds it difficult to smile in the midst of drudgery. The difference between a smile and a gripe is not the circumstance, but the point of view. To the rancher it’s a useless place to raise cattle; to the oil man it’s a treasure trove. To the tired mother, repeating the same chores day after day, struggling to keep peace with the children, aware of her fading youth and her failure to have achieved the self-expression she…
Two articles recently caught my eye. One was titled The Married Will Soon Be the Minority and the second one Traditional Masculinity Officially Labeled Harmful by the American Psychological Association. This past summer, I wrote a few posts about the harm of psychology. This article should seal the deal for all of you. From the first article about marriage: “Marriage as the prevailing ideal is losing its grip. And the stigma of being unmarried is also losing its grip, as…
The family bed is a hot issue among some women these days. Joseph Spurgeon, a pastor, wrote the following on his Facebook page. I wholeheartedly agree with him. Family bed is great IF your husband fully agrees and wants it, but it is NOT great if he does not want the children sleeping in his bed. Wives are commanded to obey their husbands in everything, except when a husband asks his wife to sin against God. A husband asking his…
Written by Ken Here’s an email I received from a man recently: “I just want to thank you and your wife for being models of what marriage and relationships are supposed to be. I emailed your wife and for obvious reasons she said you’re more qualified to answer a man’s questions. My wife is six months pregnant, and we’re both very excited. I just wonder if you have any advice on fatherhood? As the head of house I know my…
When was the last time you watched a TV show or movie that had a mother and father who loved each other, had more than one or two children, and the mother was home full time and the father worked hard to provide for his family? The first seasons of “Little House on the Prairie” had this. It was a very popular and well loved show! I loved “When Calls the Heart” on Hallmark up until the last season. This…
