Do You Want to Know What God Hates?

Do you want to know what God hates? The bible tells us. Here are some things mentioned. God hates: Unjust scales Proverbs 11: 1, 20:23. God doesn’t want to see people cheated. That’s good for us to remember at tax time and in our dealings with others. I think it also applies not just financially but to cheating others in what we give to a relationship. Boasting and those who do iniquity, lies and deceit, violence and bloodshed, Psalm 5:5-6. Divorce, Malachi 2:16. Notice, God does not say he hates the divorced person but divorce. Life long marriage of one … Continue reading →

My Kid Wants to Homeschool!

Yesterday I wrote about the possibility of homeschooled children wanting to go to public school. I also gave you some questions you might want to ask should they bring up the subject. Likewise, many public schooled children approach their parents asking to be homeschooled. I want to talk about that today. I read question after question on the internet with students asking how to convince their parents to let them homeschool. They cite being unable to focus in school and having social issues. They complain about school violence. Some say they feel they are wasting their time. Meanwhile, the parents … Continue reading →

Why Do Companies Pay People to Collect this Information?

This is a mini-series on becoming a courthouse researcher. If you haven’t heard of that job before, or if you missed the first part of this series, make sure to start reading here. Otherwise, read on! I found this job by Googling a phrase that I saw a poster on a work-at-home forum talk about in passing–Sunlark Research and something called courthouse research. What is Sunlark Research? I had no clue, so I hit Google to find out more. I found their website, and read about it some. Looked interesting, and the money sounded good, so I decided to apply. … Continue reading →

Be a Cheerleader to Other Writers

In many markets there is a lot of competition…but should that be the case amongst writers? Are writers supposed to encourage one another or is it every man for himself? When you think about the business world, not too many of them are quick to boost up another. For instance, if you own a plumbing business it is not likely you will tell your customers about how great the other plumbing business across town is. That would be foolish. So does the same apply to writing? Not necessarily. It can be tricky when it comes to writing. You want others … Continue reading →

Showing Affection

Showing affection- some people are good at it. It comes as naturally as breathing to them. Others are not so good at it and need to learn how to do it. In marriage it is important. Those little signs of affection can really make a difference to how your spouse feels. In a recent forum one of our members said how she misses not getting the little signs of affection. Her husband gives them to someone else but not to her. That’s a sad state of affairs, when he is buying flowers and showing admiration for someone else and not … Continue reading →

Requirements for a Good Spouse

We all have ideas about what makes a good spouse. I’m sure if we compared notes some of them would be the same. Here are mine. You might want to add some others in the comments. It needs to be someone who you love and who loves you. Love is to my mind a requisite for marriage. I couldn’t imagine getting married for any other reason. It should be someone who is not only your lover but your friend -your best friend. In other words someone you can talk to and share with and you know they will be accepting … Continue reading →

Love Is All You Need?

The obvious L word for a marriage is love. But there are two aspects to love, loving and being lovable. I’ve seen several posts on the discussion forums recently where people have been hurt by what their loved one has done. In each case the person has shown little regard for the feelings of their partner, because they are so totally focused on getting what they want regardless of who is hurt in the process. Loving Love is about giving and putting yourself out for the other person. It’s not about always wanting your own way in a relationship. Sadly, … Continue reading →

Who Should Hold My Crying Baby?

I’m struggling with a seemingly never-ending dilemma of how long to let my baby cry when others are holding her. I want her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others to be able to spend time with her. I realize that by holding her, they are able to bond with her and get to know her. However, I also don’t want this to happen at the expense of my daughter feeling secure and safe. Yes, she loves them, but there is no substitute for the kind of comfort and security a mother can provide. I’ve come up with a few ways to … Continue reading →
