During my time with the Lord this morning I realized that my relationship with the Lord is totally selfish on my part. I bring Him nothing and He gives me everything. Perhaps this isn’t big news to any of you, and I know I’ve heard it before, but this morning it struck me anew. I was…

I wrote the following article in 2009 for TEACH magazine. Just recently I’ve once again been exposed to a number of posts and articles on modesty. As I read this again I realized its message is as relevant today as it was in 2009 so I’ve decided to post it here. I have a young adult…

Since I’m talking about our husbands as our shepherds this week I couldn’t resist showing you this video, Amazing Sheep Light, about sheep.

Ephesians 5:33 “Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” Proverbs 14:1 “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Yup, I decided to tackle this one first.
