I had an epiphany today as I cooked dinner. I was thinking about my life, my blog, my husband (who was in the bathroom, cutting his hair & kept calling me to check it out), my purpose…. and as I was trying to figure out how to work out this blogging thing (because it takes [...]

I’ve lucked out with the last two “Gracious Wife” posts…. I’ve been able to write them with minimal conviction, because I tend to not be too sarcastic or nagging toward my husband.

I love watching the Olympics! My favorite summer sports to watch are the gymnastics and the diving. I also enjoy watching the swimming and the track and field events. The muscle tone on those athletes is astounding! They make what they do look so easy!
What we don’t see is the thousands of hours of TRAINING [...]

A few weeks ago, my husband was filming a movie. Actually, he was acting in it, and I had the privilege of being an extra. The setting was a cafe, so I thought it would be appropriate for me to be reading a book during the scene, but unfortunately I had forgotten my [...]
Today’s post will address the criticism that wives will face when they decide to fulfill the role that God has designed them for.
The society that we live in seems to be very tolerant to every religion, every sexual preference, every alternative lifestyle - except when it involves Christianity. So to decide to live your [...]
