Life is full of important episodes that are significant enough to be marked as anniversaries. Today marks one of those special days that bears remembering. I want to share it and hope you will be blessed by reading it. Saturday evening, June 28, 2014, I headed off to bed before my husband. This was not …
If you are like me, you have many projects around your home waiting to be dealt with. Whether it is a messy room, a closet that hasn’t been arranged in a decade or so, or a bathroom cabinet with all sorts of outdated content, the thought of someone other than your family getting a look …
Those who embrace the law of God as binding on their lives see God’s laws as blessings; those who do not, see them as hindrances to their autonomy. God’s law acts as a boundary that we move at our peril. By obeying it we are performing our duty before the Lord, (Eccles. 12:13) and we …

One of my most vivid memories of my childhood was the day, while visiting a favorite aunt, that I broke one of her possessions. I don’t exactly remember what it was, but I do remember the look on my mother’s face, and it was not a pleasant one. I had a propensity to be clumsy, …
I have the privilege of interacting with “on-the-job” wives and mothers who seek to put God’s law-word into action in their own lives and in the lives of their children. More often than not, I get to hear their litany of things that they consider they are not doing well in carrying out their calling. …
When I was in high school, I prided myself (as did my parents) that I was enrolled in “honors” classes. When the class rankings came out, I was usually in the top ten percent.
