“Women are natural evangelists! What I mean is that women are quick to share with each other—with their mothers and sisters and daughters, with their best friends and even co-workers—what is deep in their hearts… So when women are filled with good news, excitement, or deep interest in something, such as what God is doing in their lives…”
2. "Wardrobe Workshop-on-the-Go" at Jill Savage’s Blog (Helping Moms Keep Their Hearts at Home)
Quote from Part 1:
“I believe most moms don’t wear enough accessories. I have a guideline called the 16 point accessory rule that will help you know if you have enough on. Check this out and determine your accessory IQ.”
“The goal in dressing is to look like an X even if you’re not. As long as you follow a few tips, no matter what your body type is, you can be balanced. When we dress so we appear balanced, attention is then brought to our face and not to the challenge areas of our body.”
3. “Alpha Women and Beta Boys” at Girls Gone Wise
Mary Kassian is a favorite (Canadian) author of mine. You'll enjoy her fascinating article about high earning working wives.
4. “How to be More Joyful: Get Thicker Skin” at Life as Mom
“Now, I’m not saying to become like one of the aforementioned stoics, don’t get such thick skin that you miss out on emotions and compassion and even a little pain. Those things grow us and shape us and make us more into who God wants us to be. But many of us could stand to toughen up a little bit and make a conscious effort not to be upset by the things that don’t matter.”
5. “The New NIV Debuts Nov. 1” at The Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood
Late in the summer of 2009, Zondervan, publishers of the New International Version (NIV) of the English Bible and its derivative, the "gender-neutral" Today's New International Version (TNIV), announced that it was producing an all-new updated version of the NIV.
Publishers said the new NIV was intended to correct the “mistake” it made in producing TNIV. Complementarian evangelical leaders were encouraged by the news and have awaited the new NIV’s arrival with expectancy. The Online version debuted Nov. 1, 2010 at Bible Gateway.com.
