A Crown of… glory
I can hardly write today as I am giddy with excitement over an appointment I have tomorrow morning. I am considering all the delightful things that are equal in value… a used car… a Bosch mixer and *all* the attachments. A computerized sewing machine… well a low end machine, anyway. A digital camera and a […]...

Wear a dress and go as a girl…
The sweet blessings I’ve had the privilege to enjoy through the years of maintaining A Christian Home website are the wonderful letters and testimonies that visitors send me. It’s been particularly true regarding the matter of feminine dress and the LORD’s touch and direction for many women and girls. I used to feel like I […]...
The Church Today
Modest Dress
Whenever an article about conservative or modest dress is published, I rejoice! I rejoice because not only does it validate a message I so long to proclaim, but it also validates the choice and convictions of thousands of sisters around the world. Kelli sent me a USA Today article link that features a sister in […]...

I think our team won with an arsenal of fly-paper strips hanging in every room and the ever present shop vac: thwp, […]...
Motherhood
the spectator mother
A phase of motherhood I was never prepared to experience is how quickly I would become sort of a spectator –or that I would become a spectator at all. I just guess I thought I’d always be the mother. The mother-mother. I didn’t even see the spectator-mother signs coming. When the oldest of the two […]...

At least it’s not frogs!
And just when I thought we were getting a handle on the flies. All day long my mind has been flooded with fly quips and witty inventions (for the demise of the flies or a fly’s demise, which ever applies). As I was going around (yes, again!) with the wand of the shop vac (for […]...

The Law
I’ve been thinking about a bunch of things tonight. I mean, I was vacuuming flies and I had lots of time to think. Seriously, hundreds of flies. Actually, it felt more like dozens of hundreds of flies. So I was vacuuming them up with Wes’s shop-vac. I have never seen so many flies in all […]...
