Well behaved women have never changed history.

God stuff

Jeremiah 29:11 (The Message) "I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out -plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."


Finances

If our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot because our charitable expenditure excludes them. C. S. Lewis

Children, parenting, and family...

Do not mistake a child for his symptom. Erik Erikson

Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope. John Ciardi

We must make sure we depict the kind of God a child can approach with confidence. Dr. Theresa Whitehurst

Our commitment is more resilient and reliable than our motivation, willpower, or enthusiasm. Dr. Theresa Whitehurst
