Claiming Ground

You know, normally, I don’t “make” my kids go to anything at church, but when I heard Dan Mohler was going to be in town, I told Carolyn, “You’re going!” She saw the look in my eyes and said, “Okay,” so last night I took her to hear Dan for the very first time, and she’ll never be the same.

Even without hearing him, she’s been learning his teaching over the past year by listening and watching how I live my life. A little over a year ago, I began watching Dan’s fifty-one day teaching on YouTube, and it has taught me how to become love. Continue reading →

I remember, not so much in high school but in my dancing days, showing as much skin as possible. I thought, “The more I show, the more chance you’ll want me.” I’m not sure if that’s the case with teenagers, but it sure is sad how little clothing they wear, even to prom.

I asked my friend if I could share this picture because my privacy setting is on “public,” so there’s that chance that a lot of people would see it. I’m so glad she let me because I want everyone to see the beauty of class, the beauty of covering up, the beauty of modesty. It’s striking and rare and a real jewel in God’s crown.

Wouldn’t it be neat if a picture like THIS went viral?!
