Read full disclosure here.Driving down to my mom’s one afternoon I noticed all these houses with windows totally lit up. They were shining and sparkly as the sun’s rays bounced off of them. They looked so pretty on the outside. But, they were empty, glittery reflections. Driving home I noticed those same houses. This time however, there were no empty glittery reflections, just cold dark panes. Here and there a house was lit from the inside and those windows shone with a warm […]

Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.It was an interesting evening in bible study. The phrase truth or tradition came up, and one person made the statement that even when presented with facts and proof of the truth, most people continue in tradition. This led us to look at various things in our own lives that we hold as truth. Were these things truth according to the bible, or only a tradition held so long we no longer even knew why we did it? It’s a […]

Read full disclosure here.Adam came from the dust of the earth, and all men descended from him.That dirt could have been brown, or red, or grey. Does it really matter what color the dust was? NO.

Many of these books were historical fiction. My mom taught us history by […]
