Recently, many of us shared in the grief at the tragic accidental death of a much-loved young woman during her service at a Church-sponsored summer camp. In her short lifetime, she touched the lives both of those who knew her and of those who only came to know her after her death.
In the popular country song, “Whatever You Say” by Martina McBride, the lyrics include a line that says, “I know you can hear me, but I don’t think you’re listening.” This verse is part of a song that talks about someone who just wants to be heard and listened to. These lines in the songlyrics, along with the others that follow, resonate with women of all types...
The Musketeers lived by the famous motto: “All for one, and one for all!” It embodied their everyday actions.
What is our motto as Christian women? What is the standard by which we live our lives? Can we apply “all for one, one for all?” Have any of us experienced the feeling of being the last one chosen for the team, of consistently not being included in...
Recently I was talking with another young woman who is a good friend about how quickly time seems to pass. We laughed and joked about how we are getting “older,” although many others that are older than us would doubtless remind us that we are still “so young.” We were discussing all of the things that have happened in our lives since college, where we are in...

While looking like a supermodel is unrealistic, we can all do things to keep ourselves healthy and strong. We know as Christians that “man looks at...

In your heart you think, “You are such a strong person. I don’t know how you do it. If it were me, I’d just give up and die.” The line moves a bit, words are spoken by those who came...
In today’s world, modern womanhood has become a path with ever-increasing obstacles and confusion. As advocates of various agendas voice their opinions on what women should be like and how they should act, they fail to seek God’s judgment in the matter—and usually, they ridicule the thought of even considering God’s judgment. Modern women try to implement these...
I was recently given the opportunity to do some hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains. We had decided we wanted to see Rainbow Falls, which boasted of dazzling rainbows if you were fortunate to be there as the sunlight hits the water cascading from a high drop.
The trail map claimed the trail we needed to take was only 2.7 miles long one way, and it was labeled...
On washday, despite all the modern conveniences available, some of us who do laundry still do not use a mechanical dryer. For one reason or another, we prefer to hang it out on a line to dry.
That is the end of a busy process. Before washing, we check the laundry over for spots, and where possible we treat them beforehand. We add detergent, sometimes bleach, to...
