Here's another outline from the ladies' conference I attended last month. This session was taught by Mrs. Krysten Vestal, whose husband is on staff of Grand View Baptist Church in Beavercreek, OR. She was raised in a very strongly Christian family, and she and her husband are now raising their children in the same type of family. She had some very good points about addicting ourselves to our children, and she was also very easy to follow and takes notes from! ;) I even made this one into a real outline! An addiction is what you think about in your spare time I. Desire to care for your children A. Make Christ the center of your home B. Love your children 1. Love = Time 2. Live in the moment C. Correct your children II. Desire to protect your children A. Protect them from physical harm B. Protect them from spiritual harm 1. Read the Bible 2. M

Since it's been almost a month since I attended the ladies' conference , I thought now might be a good time to share another session with you. I'm prompt, if nothing else! ;) This session was taught by Mrs. Julie Shaver, pastor's wife of Evergreen Baptist Church in Bellingham, WA. This is the church that allowed Samuel to stay in their office building while he worked during the weeks of Christmas Break, so I've gotten to know Mrs. Shaver just a bit over the past few months. I must say that I have very great respect for her and her husband. They have 10 children; number 11 is due probably any day now. Their children are well-disciplined and polite, their home is neat and clean, and the parents are full of energy and life and fun. It's always been a joy to meet and visit with them. So I was especially pleased when I found that Mrs. Shaver was teaching one of the sessions. It just makes a lesson come to life a bit more when you know the person teaching it,
