25.01.2022 A MUST READ! "I have noticed two kinds of men in the church today: Men who pray and men who prey. Single women, you must date a man long enough to know his name. Men, do you have a 'man of God name' etched beneath your skin?" http://moralrevolution.com/date-a-man-long-enough/

23.01.2022 I have a good marriage, but sometimes I slip into automatic and stop getting as intentional as I should about investing richly and deeply into our relationship.... So, I’ve decided to declare this my "get intentional" week. Today I’m focusing on my words. I’m praying for God to interrupt my mouth at every turn today. I want "these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart to be pleasing" (Psalm 19:14) to the Lord and honoring to my husband. I’m going to hold my tongue against saying anything careless. I’m going to intentionally use my words as gifts to my husband today and nothing else. Not that just one day of doing this can protect my marriage forever but it sure is a good start.

22.01.2022 What I wish I could give every brave parent to quietly tell the kids they love: "Your skin is the outer layer of your soul. Your skin & your soul are one in wa...ys that Hollywood & MTV & the mall won’t ever tell you. Your skin & your soul are profoundly connected & this is a profoundly beautiful thing. There is *no shame* in this only the glory of God who made your body *art* to reflect your soul. So contrary to what hook-up culture may be touting there’s nothing casual about giving away your body. The union of two bodies is nothing less than the union of two souls. And the thing is: Your naked body deserves the honor of being shared only with someone who is *covenanted* to never stop loving your naked soul."

21.01.2022 Besides praying specific prayers for my kids and also whispering Help me Jesus, help me Jesus, help me Jesus about 100 times a day, I am praying these prayers... for myself as a mom Lord, help me to: * be ruled by Your Truth, not fear. * not build the stability of my identity on the fragility of my kids' choices. * walk in humble confidence that You, Lord, will give me everything I need to be the mom these kids need. Hush Satan’s accusations and condemnations so my prayers will never be hindered.

11.01.2022 Parents, have you heard about the Snapchat changes? You should read this! Snapchat has recently released a new feature called ‘Snap Map’. Here's how they descri...be the feature: "With the Snap Map, you can view Snaps of sporting events, celebrations, breaking news, and more from all across the world. If you and a friend follow one another, you can share your locations with each other so you can see where they’re at and what’s going on around them! Plus, meeting up can be a cinch." Given that a lot of girls use Snapchat, I want parents to know that, if the proper settings aren’t applied, all friends of your daughter can see her exact current location as a pinpoint on a map. The only way to prevent other users from viewing your location through the app is to enter 'Ghost Mode'. I encourage all parents to speak with their children about this new feature and why they should be wary about sharing their location with people online. There is a simple way to switch off the ‘Snap Map’. 1. Open the Snapchat app 2. Tap the circle at the bottom that will open up your camera 3. Zoom 'out' (use thumb and finger and drag towards the centre of the screen, i.e. a pinching motion) this will bring up the 'Snap Map' 4. Tap the settings cog wheel in the top right corner 5. Slide 'Ghost Mode' on Please note that the ‘Snap Map’ is only available in the latest version of Snapchat (10.11.1.0, released on 22 June 2017). If you haven’t updated the app, this new feature won’t be available. But remember, if you do update the app in future you will need to enter 'Ghost Mode' to prevent your child’s location being shared.

08.01.2022 That's the dream!!!

08.01.2022 The "WHITE ENVELOPE" is brilliant! We have adopted this tradition. Christmas Story: For the Man Who Hated Christmas By Nancy W. Gavin... It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past ten years. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of itoverspending and the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandmathe gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was on the wrestling team at the school he attended. Shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears. It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them. Mike loved kidsall kids. He so enjoyed coaching little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes, and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, I placed a small, white envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done, and that this was his gift from me. Mike's smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year. And that same bright smile lit up succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the traditionone year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. The white envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning, and our childrenignoring their new toyswould stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the small, white envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there. You see, we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree. And the next morning, I found it was magically joined by three more. Unbeknownst to the others, each of our three children had for the first time placed a white envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing to take down that special envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit will always be with us.
