“When do you first remember feeling some type of jealousy? Write about the experience.”
Oh jealousy. I battle you more than I care to admit. I don’t know that I remember the first time I felt that ugliness. But I know how it feels now. I feel scared. Fear drives it more than anything [...]

It’s Christmas Time in the City…
Christmas this year was fairly low-key and traditional. Evening worship, morning presents, afternoon dinner and evening at friends house. Nice, simple, and classic. Just the way I like it.
The day after, Nanny and I braved the wind and went to Macy’s to return a gift. That evening, MP and I went to Pete’s in Addison [...]

At the end of the night I gave the girls a sheet with contact information on things they could do in their own community to be generous, [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Modesty and Chastity

Having talked about modesty at a life night not that long ago, the girls were fairly familiar with the topic.

Fruits of the Spirit: Self-Control
Ah, self control. Everyone’s favorite!

Fruits of the Spirit: Gentleness
