Should a Wife and Mother Work Outside the Home?
A few days ago I got an email. (Actually, I got about 200 emails that day, but this one was interesting.) It seems I left a comment on another blog that led someone to believe that I thought there was...

Planning the Next Homeschool Year (or Two)
Long, boring, family update and homeschooler talk. Skip this one if you don’t like that stuff. Remember my messy, shamefully neglected school shelf? I’ll bet you thought I’d never clean that up. You...

Guest post by my friend Mary Jo LeBlanc, from Wisdom and the Law of Kindness When Cindy asked me to do a guest post for her, I was very honored and a little terrified. (As if posting in my own blog...
View ArticleChildren in “Adult” Worship
We joined a large church last year that has three different worship services, two of which offer children’s ministry (aka “babysitting”) at the same time as corporate worship and preaching. Adults...
View ArticleI Continue to Not Make My Point About Birth Control…Yet
Let’s talk about what readers think, instead. That’s more fun. Wasn’t it clever of me to write a post on birth control without really saying much about it, and then get everybody to congratulate me for...

Whose Children Are These? (Take Two)
