Happy Eclipse Day! We are in the path of totality here in South Carolina. Things are crazy! About 1 million visitors are expected to be here for the eclipse. Schools are closed. Many businesses are closed. We are hoping to get to see the eclipse without any clouds this afternoon. Lots of excitement! ———- […]
When I was growing up, I often felt very unfeminine. I was not a girly girl. I had short, choppy hair through most of elementary school. It looked like a boy’s cut many times. My twin sister was the more girly one. I didn’t like dresses. They were itchy and scratchy and panty hose were […]
A guest post by a Christian wife and mom who is in her mid forties now. She had received Christ as a 5 year old child and was raised in a Christian home. Her personality and marriage dynamics were rather the opposite of Greg’s and mine. In addition, Radiant was severely spiritually oppressed and physically chronically […]
I’m honored to welcome Radiant to share with us today. She has been married almost 23 years and has several children.

Our Western culture is inundated with materialism. Every ad beckons us with promises that if only we bought that product, had enough stuff, and enough money, we would be beautiful, happy, and fulfilled in this life. How Can I Tell if I Am Struggling with Materialism? Here are a few questions I might ask […]
My Choice As a believer in Christ, I know that nothing has come into my life by accident. Every trial is purposed by the Lord to help refine me and conform me to the image of Christ. Because I trust Jesus and His leading in my life, I know He is with me. I […]
I used to think that my husband had to lead in a certain way in order for God to lead me through him. His personality should be a lot more like mine, of course, for him to lead “properly.” I believed we needed a long list of things I thought were great ideas – lots […]
