    What is your favorite Praise/Worship song?

    "I Can Only Imagine" and "If I Could Just Sit With You Awhile"...both by Mercy Me. I play them enough that my 3 & 4 yo granddaughters know the words to both. :)

    The Funny Things Kids Say!

    Don't ya just love the things they come up with to describe something logically? We went to the zoo this weekend. When my 3 yo granddaughter saw 2 multi-colored parrots, she exclaimed, "Awww....a momma rainbow & a baby rainbow!!"

    Children and Swearing HELP!!!

    If a parent tells a child that he is not allowed to say a particular word & the child says it, the parent wouldn't be giving a consequence for the 'word' so to speak. The consequence is for that of disobedience.

    The silence of God or "when is enough really enough?"

    I think it's important to emphasize for any who may not know... God tells us in his word how we should all treat each other & does specifically speak to husbands re: the treatment of their wives. A husband does not have freedom to treat his wife however he chooses. Although he may choose to...

    Children and Swearing HELP!!!

    I would tell her she is not allowed to say those words & when she does, handle it as you would any other disobedience.

    Toilet talk driving me INSANE

    I'm not understanding. I'm reading that as "tell them they are not allowed to do something & then ignore it when they disobey & do it anyway". My being the queen of 'I know that's what I wrote but, that's not what I meant', I thought I'd ask you to clarify for me. lol

    A measure of love

    Hmmm...I wish I were that unselfish but, it honestly depends on my mood. If my mood is lousy, Steve's happiness is not going to cause an exceeding joy in me. lol Now, would I donate a kidney to save his life? Absolutely; without batting an eye.

    I did ask...

    I'm wondering, why did you change your prayer? In my perception of your post, satan has deceived you. It seems he has subtly convinced you to lower your standards & settle for a little less. Hold in your heart that God is over all & is capable of providing a husband who is Godly and suited to...

    Toilet talk driving me INSANE

    lol! Lucyevensie, I think you've actually found a good rule of thumb for yourself. If it isn't proper behavior in front of someone else...is it proper at all?

    being a submissive wife?

    I believe they can but, what God expects of us doesn't. The heart, the behavior, the spiritual mindset that God desires of us doesn't. Have you ever witnessed or been the parent in this scenario: the child is being confronted by a parent re: his/her inappropriate behavior & he hurriedly throws...

    being a submissive wife?

    I've noticed that whenever a question arises re: a wife's role, someone will inevitably bring up the husband's role. Personally, when I came to a point in my life when I was willing to give myself over to God's will, I didn't have concern re: what a husband's role is; my concern was/is Me being...

    I feel like a horrible parent!

    From your reply, I'm assuming the interaction of your children giving you a good 'ticking off' is done in a teasing manner. In that, I see nothing wrong. As far as a child (one still under his/her parents' authority) telling his/her parent 'off' (as I perceived the first post)....inappropiate &...
