Re: And They’re Back! MacDonald and Tchividjian Restore Themselves To Ministry

But it's unbiblical to have authority over other believers after failing like these two men have done. To be an elder, or a leader in the church, one must be, "...blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination..." If you want to be a biblical christian (is there any other kind?!) then you must adhere to the requirements the Spirit lays out.

Re: NC To Make Crummy Schools Great Again By Lowering The Bar

Maybe a reason why homeschooling is on the rise in NC. Parents being serious about, and taking control of, their children's education is never a bad thing whether it is private, public or at home.

Re: Why I Chose to Have Babies, Against My Feelings

As a mom of 8 children ranging 15-2 (and who is officially done because my husband has said our quiver is full, I was rooting for 1 more), I would ask yourself, "Why do I think my quiver is full?"
Many women I know who feel overwhelmed at the moment with littles, forget that there is such a thing as wisely spacing them. ;-) Sometimes us mamas need a little time in-between littles to get our sanity back. And that is okay. And saying, "It's break time." may be what you need. Later you and your husband can decide if you really are done, or if God is calling you to have a few more.
Yes, we spaced one of our births to be a whole 3 years apart - gasp! Large I know ;-) Our 13 months apart almost did us in ...

Re: Homemade Soaked Cream of Wheat. And Treat Yo Self.

Wondering what kind of wheat grinder you use. My Whisper Mill (AKA Wonder Mill) doesn't get my grain very coarse, no matter what setting it's on. I just tried making this today and it ended up being tasty gravy. ;-) I think I'll try the coffee grinder/blender option next time(I don't have a good blender but we will see).

Re: Why I ditched birth control & how to prevent pregnancy without it

We use Fertility Awareness partially. It has always been easy for me to chart just using cervical fluids, so that is all I do. And for those of us with young children, taking an accurate daily temperature is often not feasible - you get woken up at night too often to make it reliable.

Whether or not people can use this method, I do highly recommend reading the book. Knowing about how your body works is vital no mater what method of birth control you may choose to use.

Re: My Bubi’s Chopped Liver

Do you think butter would work instead of ghee? Or coconut oil?

Also, would beef liver work ;-) It's what I have.

Have had my eye on VitaMixes since my Bosch blender broke 6 months ago.

Graciously and well put! I wish more people I knew had this attitude about their past.

Very good points!

You forgot, "Don't follow people, let them follow you." (And then you can return the favor.)

As a consumer, I HATE getting a notice that a new "person" is following me, only to find they follow 1,000,000 people, but are followed back by only 37. I've mentioned pregnancy and a Doctor in Chicago is now following me. I mentioned skiing and a snowboarder who twitters about snow conditions follows me.

If you are a business, then let ME decide to follow you!
