Teaching My Daughters on Virtue

Presently my 12 year old daughter Felecia and I are doing our Bible curriculum on virtue. We are reading
Raising Maidens of Virtue by Stacy McDonald.
Excellent writer; she mesmerisers you with use of words and allegory.
We have only read two chapters and wow! The first one was on Fence Dwellers. Then today was on femininity in today's world. I love how she noted that people do not refer to the girls as daughters much any more.
In the old days, young woman were referred to as maidens and virgins. Being a virgin wasn't really about sexuality but the young woman as a whole. Today that is what it is all about.
She asked the question how my daughter felt people thought of her. Could they look at her by her appearance and how she postures herself that she indeed is a Christian? Much much more. I am so glad the Lord led me to this book.
I never intended to do a book review. But, this is how I long to teach my young maidens; for one day they will be wives serving the Lord by serving their husbands.http://www.visionforum.com/browse/product/?productid=68538&cid=596

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows: POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag. FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER (Rev. Paul Gray) MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN. ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands. As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace). In three thousand three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken. Today; 2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
