The Housewife Theologian

Next Monday, I will be reviewing Vicki Tiede’s new book, When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography . I was honored to be a part of the blog tour for the kick off of this book. While there is thankfully more available for the men who are struggling with this sin, there hasn’t been much for the...

Gene Veith wrote an excellent article for TCG on the purpose of our work. I encourage you to read it here . This article is even more relevant, given our present economic issues. Why do we go to work in the first place? Is it merely for the paycheck that affords us to do all the things we really...

Every Fall I think about this. Last fall I wrote about it. Here's one of my favorite oldie but goodies: The fall reminds me of my dear friend Sarah. We grew up together. Sarah has that fiery red hair that blazes like the leaves in October. We both shared birthdays in November and fall was our...

I just bought a new toaster oven. My ol’ faithful recently died, and I don’t like living without one. What a great appliance. Microwaves have their moments of usefulness, but a nice convection toaster oven really adds to the quality of what you may be heating up. My regular oven is not convection,...

So, I finally did the whole Twitter-thing. I've had a love/hate relationship with computer networking. Real faces are so much better, but it is a blessing to have a cyber-community of people who share the same favorite topic of conversation! You'll never believe how many Aimee Byrd's are on Twitter...

Have you ever thought about what your dying words would be? Well, I have, and I asked that question to my Bible study gals as we were studying the faith of the patriarchs. In Hebrews 11:20-22 we see faith that finishes well. Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph end their lives holding fast to the confession of...

I haven't had adequate time to write an article for today, so I thought I'd share a hilarious link about the publishing process: The Publishing Process I didn't have to go through all of these steps, but you can figure out what stage I'm at now. Thanks to my friend Trillia Newbell for linking to...

This week's been pretty busy as I've been traversing through the editing process for my book. While the original creating is challenging as well, it can be difficult to get back into the flow of the text when you are trimming your thoughts, accessorizing, and polishing. I have been both excited and...

Fierce Women , Kimberly Wagner (Chicago, IL: Moody, 2012) I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. While on another website, I saw an advertisement for this book and the title pulled me right in: Fierce Women, The Power of a Soft Warrior . What’s that all about? So I clicked the Amazon link to find...

I don’t follow UFC (that’s Ultimate Fighting Championship) fights like I used to. Back in the day when Royce Gracie was introducing the world to the wonders of Brazilian Jujitsu, my whole family would get together to watch the fights. I also remember the crazy hype when Vitor Belfort won a fight in...
