Many young women today drink too much alcohol and are not sober minded. They make decisions based upon their emotions and feelings, instead of what is right and good. This is why they need to be taught to be sober by godly, older women. Many young women divorce their husbands if they are not happy or they nag, manipulate, or try to control them. There are many foolish women who are tearing their homes down with their own hands. This…
A mother who is a doctor or nurse can help people get better but they will all die eventually. A mother who is a lawyer can win some cases but only those who love Jesus win in the end. A mother who is a teacher can have an influence in her students’ lives for one year but what they learn in this life is very temporary. A mother who is an actress or singer entertains a lot of strangers for…
Today’s culture insists that young women go to college and pursue a career “just in case” and some parents send their daughters there to find a husband. I found Ken (well, he found me) at college, however, our Christian college only cost $3500 per year back then which included tuition, room, and board. My best friend even paid her own way by being a waitress in the summers and cleaning bathrooms during the school year. That same college costs $55,570 a…
Amazon allows anyone to write a review of a book without purchasing it, so I am receiving a number of one star reviews from trolls who haven’t read my book but are on a crusade to discredit it. I mostly ignore the trolls, and my sister warned me to not read their reviews. (She just finished my book and loved it!) No one likes being continually insulted and slandered, however, but when I read Paul’s persecution my woes cannot compare. God…
Women gave me a hard time when I wrote that I was not a fun mother and this doesn’t matter to me since fun wasn’t important to me; teaching my children about the Lord and His ways, disciplining and training them, and nurturing them was what was important to me. This proved the point of my post which was that women today believe that being a fun mother is very important. What about a mother like me who was very…
In reading through the book of John, I am struck that right before Christ was going to be crucified, He had a Passover dinner with His disciples and said this, “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” (John 13:14, 15) The Creator of the universe came down in the flesh to pay…
Several women accused me of being a no-fun mother on a post last week because I didn’t toot, burp, or take pictures with my tongue hanging out. If this is the definition of a “no-fun” mother, then it defines me to a tee since I didn’t do these things nor did I teach my children to do them. It seems to me that younger mothers exalt being a “fun mother” above all else. So what if their home is a…
