“Anne, does Deuteronomy 22:5 mean that women should not wear pants? I mentioned this to a few friends, and they say that no, it just means we shouldn’t look like a man. My pastor’s wife is a very, very sweet woman that I look up to, and she says the same. However, the more I [...]
Submission and Silence
January 7, 2011 by 21 Comments
The next question in my Juggling Life’s Responsibilities study guide is regarding these controversial verses from 1 Timothy 2.
“Do you think it’s fair to say women are more vulnerable than men to being deceived?”
My first reaction is that no, it doesn’t feel one bit fair. I don’t feel deceived! Not any more than anyone else, anyway! In fact, I jotted a note on my study page that “It feels like a woman sometimes sees things first in God’s Word. Then later, God opens her husband’s eyes to the same truth.”
Obedience and Homeschooling

If you’ve been homeschooling for any time at all, you’ve discovered the same secret I have. Children must be obedient if you’re going to enjoy teaching them! God says the same thing: “The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him” (Proverbs 23:24). In [...]

Honestly, it’s with a little bit of fear and trepidation that I approach — yet again — the topic of submission in marriage. The only reason I’m brave enough to even try is because my “blogging calendar” says that we’re on question #6 of the study guide for Chapter 2 of Juggling Life’s Responsibilities. “Draw [...]

I found the following great links online this week, and I couldn’t help but share. Here they are, in no particular order: Telephone Rules — Have you ever thought about how much easier it is for classroom teachers to actually get a lesson done, without the phone ringing off the hook all day?

God Will Judge (Hebrews 13:4)
February 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4, KJV). It seems so gloomy to think about a day coming when I will stand before God to be judged. Thoughts like these don’t pass through my mind on a normal day, when I’d rather be planning [...]
