Mid-October 1987 Ron told me I was pregnant. I was sure he was wrong. So sure that I refused to take time to go get tested. (No, I hadn’t learned true submission yet. Plus I had accounting tests to study for. And I was late for work.) Ron was so sure I was pregnant that…

We are told in the Bible that older women are to teach younger women. Are you willing to be such an older woman? Do you have an older woman in your life to speak the truth in love to you? I didn’t have such a woman in my life when my kids were little. I wish I had.

I’m blowing off the challenge today because… MY BIG BROTHER GOT ENGAGED!!! My brother has never been married. He’s been with Gretchen for a couple of years and I adore her! She is kind, smart, funny, and full of love. I have never wanted him to marry anyone he was dating, but I told him…
