This article in particular sparked my interest as I have been finding a strange opposition on this point from so many places. What was once an expected thing has now become taboo or strange. The home [...]

Another challenge from John Piper:
“I earnestly recommend that it be in the early morning, unless there are some extenuating circumstances. Entering the day without a serious meeting with God, over His Word and in prayer, is like entering the battle without tending to your weapons. The human heart does not replenish itself with sleep.

God often calls me away from the business of agendas. He just wants me alone to fellowship with Himself. What sweet times come when I listen.
Lord, how You love us. It is amazing. You desire our fellowship. Experiencing the fierceness of human love, I see how it is a picture of the fierceness of Your love [...]

Country sunrises and sunsets are beyond gorgeous.
It is the kind of day that wakes you up slowly with warm sun beams streaming through your window and opening your eyes up with cheerful rays. The warmth of the suns rays is coaxing me outside to capture some of the beauty with my camera. Maybe later I [...]

Likewise, teach the older women
to be reverent in the way they live,
not to be slanderers

to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled and pure,
to be busy at home, to be kind,
and to [...]
