Created To Be His Helpmeet Revisited

-
I got this book a couple of months ago, and I still haven't finished reading it. In my original post about the book, I stated that I had read and heard nothing but good about it. Well, that has changed. Now I've seen positive and negative about it, and as I'm reading it, I'm seeing a few things that raise my eyebrows. So I've decided to ask my online friends at Women at the Well, who have read the book, to send me some reviews of their own. These are ladies with whom I talk every day, a great many of them every day for the past 2 1/2 years. Some I've met in person, and many I've developed close friendships with. We are likeminded when it comes to our faith, but we have varying opinions on quite a few things, including CTBHHM. I thought it would be a good idea to have them give me their take on the book, while I finish reading it myself and review either the entire book or each chapter. My desire is not to bash the Pearls, but neither is it to build them up. It's simply to take a look at it through my independent, KJV Baptist eyes (and my friends' eyes too). I'm looking forward to some stimulating reading!

    Well you know what I think. ;-)

    Have to comment about your friends. Aren't friends like that awesome??? I have an e-mail group that I've been a part of for wow, about 7 years now???? And I wouldn't trade them for the world. I've been blessed to meet several of the ladies on it, and the Lord has used them in mighty ways in my life. :-)

    No, Keer, what DO you think? ;)

    My friends online are an amazing group of ladies. We laugh (lots), cry, pray, study, and rejoice together. They were my lifeline while we were travelling to raise support for our ministry. They've been quite a blessing to me!

A Week of Modest Dress

The rest of this series can be found at these links: Friday , Saturday , Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday . Some ladies around the Blogosphere have been posting pictures of themselves going about their everyday routine in dresses. Many of us ladies wear dresses and skirts all the time, and others have asked how we play with our children, do our housework, exercise, in dresses. Candy decided to show some ladies doing just that on her blog, and asked for ladies to post pics on their blogs too. This kind of thing appeals to me, so I had to get in on the action on this one. I'll post pics each day for a week (if I can keep my son Andrew taking pictures!), and you'll see a little bit of our life as a pastor's family, as well as see how another lady and her daughter (though not so many pics of her - she's camera shy!) live out their conviction of modest dress in their everyday lives. Here I am this morning, as Samuel and I left the house for our walk. I alterna

Who - or What - Is Your God?

I've read lots of opinions on lots of things during my years online. Wes was a programmer in the US Air Force from 1990 till 1996, and naturally, as e-mail and the internet came into more common use, our family was on the front edge of technology. I remember searching the web for Christian women's sites, and finding very little. After a while, more and more Christian sites began showing up, and I began reading and joining forums. It came to the point that I was reading about lifestyles varying somewhat from my rather mainstream independent Baptist upbringing. Some of it made sense to me, other things were a little far out there for me. None of it was wrong, though, and everyone had Scripture to back up what they believed. The latest thing to hit the internet is the blog. Everybody has one, at least everyone who knows what a blog is! And that includes me, of course. I love blogging. Anyway . . . we all read each other's blogs and it's almost like a parallel soc

Meet My Bible

I first saw this several months ago on Jessica's Journal , who found it at Amy's Place , and I knew I wanted to do it here. I'm just now getting to it. They don't call me the Queen of Procrastination for nothing! Please feel free to join me in this meme. If you do, leave a comment and let me know. I'd love to read about your Bible too! 1) How old is your Bible? Almost 9 years old; Wes gave it to me for my birthday in 2000. 2) Why did you choose this Bible? I wanted a wide-margin Bible so I could take sermon notes in it, and I wanted one with no notes or cross-references so I could make my own. I've used either a Zondervan or an Old Scofield for all my teen and adult life, and I would always get distracted reading the footnotes instead of the actual Bible text. 3) Do you hightlight/mark passages? I underline and circle things rather than highlight them. 4) If so what is your system? I simply underline things that speak to my heart. I will often cros
