    It seems we've made an idol out of independence in modern culture, to the detriment of the family structure and bond. For me, part of polygyny isn't just about more marriages, it's about a model where strong families are built intentionally in...

    In Genesis 31:33-34 we read that Jacob had his own tent, and each of his four wives also had separate tents. They were on a journey back to the home country however, separate spaces seems to be the practice with wives. Solomon made a separate...

    I am sure there could be reasons for separate homes....but I would never want that. I LIKE help and company in the kitchen, I like that we are one family and my 16 year old son is loved by her 19 month old son. Yes, siblings can be bossy, or...

    My mom got told by a little girl at a school "Your wrinkles look good on you!" Lol I also remember getting to know a woman named Nona Mir. They were not Muslim, but her husband's family came from folks who's country was conquered by Muslims, and...

    Great insights. But the chances of my children ever having a sleepover or roaming the neighborhood are zero. While we've always lived in a fallen world, it seems to be getting worse.

    Hubby was out with dogs less than 2 miles from home and found bones burried in a blanket a very shallow wash. He reported it and they were found to be from an elderly woman. We have no idea why they were there....but whatever family she might...

    You’ve endured some heavy things, Sister. I grieve with you just reading this. Our family has our own set of wounds from church folk, some more fresh than others. But it is good to not forsake the assembling of saints together, all the more as we...

    Thank you. For now I am not looking anywhere. I am weary of people who want to play church and engage in pointless power struggles over this or that bit of nonsensical trivia. I am weary of people who lack humility. I am weary of people who call...

    I sold some fruit trees a few years back to a man and his son who were from the middle east. The younger man's wife was also from that culture and thought it was strange that here in America people spend so much time in isolation in "their room."...

    There's a country song I heard once that had the lyric "love grows best in little houses, with fewer walls to separate." I respect that others may have different arrangements, but part of the beauty and attraction to this for me is community...

    Not so much. If you live in a rural area you see lots of skulls, lots of bones, and you don't get overly excited about them. Kronk should have led the deputy to the skull. For whatever reason he did not. Pardon me if I am not going to blame...
