Anna-Marie posted a great quote from Luther on Motherhood. It will speak to your heart and encourage you.

I just received this from one of the "Quiverfull" bloggers, Steph. (See sidebar. I don’t have her site or I’d share it with you.)

This week on Revive our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss they are doing a GREAT program on "A Full Quiver". Both yesterday and today were just stunning…a great representation of the quiverfull mindset, especially taking much time to carefully examine the many different aspects of this important issue. Here is the link to yesterday’s program:

You can read the transcript of the program, or you can listen.

I haven’t had a chance to read or listen yet, but plan to.

Mama Archer made me aware of this. The Rebelution brothers, Alex and Brett Harris have put a Modesty Survey on their website, letting us know what men think is immodest. Check it out.

Having a family and having internet access requires having an internet filter.

We use and love BSafe.

It is a Christian company and works great. You (/the administrator) can custom change the settings if you need to allow a certain site (- such as ours is set to restrict all free webhosts, but I’ve allowed homeschoolblogger.com ) The price is not bad - and it is SO worth it.

You can purchase it through the home site or several different ministries (giving the ministry a bit of a kickback - so choose which one you’d like to support.) Here are a few I know of:

Character Link
Answers in Genesis
American Family Association
Dave Ramsey

Bsafe Online’s filter unequivocally offers the highest level of Internet protection available on the market today. The combination of the human-review process with a white-list and black-list approach, supported by our rapidly expanding database of more than 1 million reviewed sites makes it the strongest, most reliable, and most effective option you can choose.

This is the world’s best Internet filter software for the family PC. Incredibly fast, reliable, and works with any ISP from anywhere in the world. Our family filter is fast, reliable, secure, and packed with customizable features. Best of all, it’s easy to download and install. Our optional tamper-proof history report is included.

If you do not have an internet filter, get one today - for your whole family’s safety.

Passover begins Sat. night, and we will be celebrating Christ, our Passover, complete with lamb roast.

See my Recommended favorite resources for Celebrating Passover .

It is amazing, I think, that in America, one of if not the richest countries in the world, parents think they can’t "afford" children. The poorest of our people are richer than many (most?) in the world. The problem is we can’t afford children AND all the toys and self-indulgences we want (and to give the children those same things so we don’t feel so guilty about getting them for ourselves or look not as "with it" as the neighbors.)

God help us for valuing the things of the world above eternal things.

Blessings to all of my children. Who are all loved more than anything this world has to offer. Each of you is SO worth all that I have ever "done without".

For one week only, save big on more than 250 family-building resources.

I received this from Vison Forum today.

"Vision Forum is pleased to announce that our bestselling book, Passionate Housewives Desperate for God, will be featured on the FamilyLife Today broadcast on March 13-14, 2008. Hosted by Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine, FamilyLife Today airs daily on more than 800 Christian radio outlets nationwide.

From the FamilyLife Today website:

Home Sweet Home: The Center of Evangelism 3/13/2008 (Day 1 of 2)
Does motherhood leave you little time for ministry? If that’s what you’ve thought, you might want to reconsider. On today’s broadcast, Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald, co-authors of the book Passionate Housewives Desperate for God, tell Dennis Rainey how a woman’s home can be her greatest outreach for the gospel, especially when she’s training her children or reaching out to friends or neighbors.

Redefining Womanhood 3/14/2008 (Day 2 of 2)
Mother of eight, Jennie Chancey, and mother of ten, Stacy McDonald, join award-winning author and speaker Dennis Rainey for today’s broadcast. Jennie and Stacy, co-authors of the book Passionate Housewives Desperate for God, encourage wives and mothers to remember their high calling and to look forward to the legacy they’re leaving behind.

We are grateful for this opportunity to tell millions of Christians about Passionate Housewives Desperate for God."

Just a statement I came across about what William Wilberforce had to say about such issues, as a follow up to my post on ‘What School?‘, and the still exploding topic brought on, this time, by Pulpit magazine.

I have seen a letter of Wilberforce, probably dating from the 1790s, in which he advises a friend that the public schools are too damaging to a boy’s faith to make it wise for a Christian father to send a son to one of them.
