“Lori, could you please write a post for women who have been sexually abused as children? How to cope and/or heal from it? Are they still considered virgins? I love your page and appreciate your biblical teachings. God bless you!” It’s a sad thing that I have to even write about this but it is way too common, especially as our culture becomes more and more sexually depraved. Recently, I have been finding out more and more about the human…
“It’s been five weeks since lockdown began but editors of academic journals have already started noticing a strange phenomenon: women seem to be submitting fewer papers than usual while men are submitting more. According to the American writer Caroline Kitchener, some female academics say they are struggling to balance full-on childcare and home schooling with work, while their male counterparts are viewing quarantine as a chance to focus on their writing projects…The coronavirus may be more deadly for men but…
“Hey Lori! Love your posts! Could you make one about wedding cancellations in light of COVID? I’m supposed to be getting married in nine weeks and we are unsure about whether to cancel or not. (Our state has even stopped allowing people to get marriage licenses.) As a couple who have remained pure for our wedding, we are obviously super against having to postpone/wait any longer. Also, we want to start having children! I know a lot of young women…
Single women ask me where all of the “good guys” have gone and why it’s so hard for them to find a man who is marriage material. One woman even called it the “plague” of being single and NOT by choice. Is it a plague these days? It is certainly true that marriage rates have plunged to the lowest level on record, divorce is more common, and living with one’s boyfriend/girlfriend is the norm. We are even told that in…
A woman wrote about divorcing her husband. This was the message she gave publicly: “With great sadness, after 10 years together, we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate…
Written by Anonymous I was reading some posts for and against reopening the country. One was talking about being selfish and it got me to thinking. There are those wanting to reopen yet they’re being classified as selfish. There are those that rely on all kinds of people to supply them while they cower in fear at home. Isn’t that being selfish too? You expect your garbage to be picked up. You expect the grocery store to be open so…
Written By Katie Jean LaPierre From Eternally Minded Mamas “Your wife will be like a fruitful vine WITHIN your house…” Psalm 128:3 Never in my lifetime have I had so much OPPORTUNITY to be a fruitful vine WITHIN my house. Anyone can produce good fruit “out there” in front of others, but the rubber meets the road when our door is closed and we are within the four walls of our homes. We are “stuck” at home (which I love)….
People accuse me of making an idol of virginity especially since my viral post. I am considered some type of nut case by unbelievers or a far-right legalistic by many Christians. They claim I didn’t consider the widows, the sexually abused, or those who were promiscuous in their past. They fail to realize that God commands older women to teach young women to be “chaste” (Titus 2:3-5), so this is what I do. I believe all of God’s ways are…
Written by a wise young woman There are so many people on social media trying to convince others that if you are concerned about the economy then you have a love of money and want people to die and that sounds scary but that is not the truth. The truth is that the economy is not money. The economy is made of people. I don’t think we will ever have honest facts and figures of how people are really affected…
Recently, I listened to a video by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai and he asked, “What hurts people’s immune system more than a virus? It’s social isolation.” We aren’t meant to be isolated. It’s heartbreaking to know that people are dying without their loved ones around them. That older people in nursing homes can’t be with their spouses and are all alone. This virus is causing a lot more harm than just illness and death. Every morning, I go sit outside in…
