Father, it’s a new path I haven’t walked before, My heart and my flesh shrink from the cross to bear.
Now and then there does rise a gem of a man who is not endangered by the capacity of a woman or her beneficence. He is so secure in who he is, what he is capable of and understands the value of a woman, that goes out of the way to seek women of ability to be part of his home or his team.
Why then in the church do not women rise up to don the garb of a warrior to battle for those worthy of being preserved and protected! Why do we whine and cry, being a damsel in distress expecting some knight to rescue us like Queen Guinevere of Camelot who sat in her tower waiting for Lancelot to come charging!
The positive nuance of the word, on the other hand, struck me recently as being such a help to accept what cannot be undone or unmade.

Nothing wrong in doing so when you have a planned budget to catch deals during, say a festival season; but doing it as an obsessive impulse is quite detrimental to our financial well being.
Summer vacation was special for us as kids. Ten days with maternal grandparents. They lived in a city. Exhibition, movies and shopping occupied us. Ten days were spent with paternal grandparents. They lived in a small rural town. Hunting, fishing and picnicking were the draw. My kids usually spent part of their summer holidays with … Continue reading IT’S SUMMER TIME
