Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell

A lot of people won't talk to children, especially young children, about hell and the very real possibility of going there. I, on the other hand, have always made it a point to talk about hell as much as I do Heaven. I want my daughter to know there are very real consequences to not … Continue reading Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell

Succulents, MWR Digital Library

Today I took Angelica on a mommy daughter trip to Home Depot to choose succulents. She chose two cacti. I chose 3 mini succulents to go in one pot. Craig leaves again soon and will be gone for almost 2 whole weeks, with one brief trip home in the middle. My father-in-law is coming to … Continue reading Succulents, MWR Digital Library

Christian Creativity

God is THE Creator. Creator with a capital C. And if you're a Christian, you're supposed to strive to be like Him as much as you can. Yet while the most Christians are good with ideas like charity and self sacrifice, few embrace the idea of creativity. Being like God when it is drudgery is … Continue reading Christian Creativity

Long Days Alone

I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone

He went … Continue reading Riding the Rollercoaster

We Need to Put More Time into Our Friendships

There's a challenge going around to stop texting your friends 1st and see who the dead plants are. And some women … Continue reading We Need to Put More Time into Our Friendships

Celebrating the end of Roe V Wade

It's been shocking to me to see the furious reactions of the pro baby killing crowd. The way they're carrying on you would think we were going to kill their 1st child. Instead we're just telling them that they can't. I have dreamt of this day since I was 12 years old and found out … Continue reading Celebrating the end of Roe V Wade

Christian Headcovering

For several years I wore an infinity veil or a mantilla daily as a symbol of submission, because of the angels, and because 1 Corinthians 11 teaches women should not pray with their heads uncovered (and we are to pray without ceasing). In the Christian faith, beautiful, Holy, life giving things are veiled. That includes … Continue reading Christian Headcovering
