Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the current season.

Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime.

That is the core of everything we believe, the reason we live the way we live, and our message to the world.
I was talking to a retired homicide detective last week. He said that every dead child, every drug induced murder, every senseless death born of greed and anger and malice destroyed him inside. But, as a homicide detective, he couldn’t let those emotions out. Instead of going into some dead child’s bedroom and crying in a corner, he had to buck up and do his job. To compensate, he would go home and drink. His wife didn’t understand what he was struggling with, because he couldn’t open up the floodgate of emotions that would come as a result of acknowledging them, and in the end it nearly destroyed their marriage.
