It’s a beautiful Saturday morning here in eastern TN! Hope it is where you are, too.
Here are a few things that were interesting to me over the last couple of weeks:
Nine Potential Pitfalls of Ministry. Very good, very convicting.
The Lost Art of Meeting a Spouse, HT to Challies. Most single people I know don’t like being “set up,” but there is some good advice here.
Dude, Where’s Your Bride? Good article on the availability of good, godly single women and the seeming lack of corresponding available men.
Idealized Domesticity, especially the paragraph on holiness.
Getting Grace, written in the context of homeschooling but applicable to all parents.
Two Ways the Enemy Attacks Authors, HT to Robin Lee Hatcher. I think the principles apply to others as well. I think whatever we do, we’re prone to crises in confidence on the one hand or “believing our own press” on the other.
Make Your Own Canvas Portrait.
White Monogram Canvas, HT to Lizzie.
This made me smile:
Thanks for the articles on pitfalls in ministry (I needed that SO much!) and idealized domesticity. Both were right on!
I’ve been thinking about “idealized domesticity” myself lately. (In the context of my daughter’s new role as Mom.) A good article above.
Staying home to raise kids is just plain hard work. I’ve been trying to impart to my daughter the balance she must find between sacrifice and taking scheduled times off. Moms are running a marathon, not a sprint, and the long view must always be kept in mind.
