You are not alone! Because of the worlds lures and pressures, some husbands do want their wives to work. They want better things and they feel anxious about mounting debt.

I don't drink coffee anymore but I like to get a little of the cherry scented, grind it and make it on top the stove and set it so simmer for awhile. You can put a drop of vanilla in water and simmer it also, as well as any spice in your pantry.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1154027481093321432006-07-27T12:11:00.000-07:002006-07-27T12:11:00.000-07:00Oh, indeed!

It's a sad fact that I've never personally heard modesty preached from the pulpit.I believe that many ministers are afraid that people will get offended & leave & yet the Word is meant to convict as well as encourage.

I have Linda Lichter's book Simple Social Graces that I have mentioned to you before, but did not realize she had other books for us to read.In so many ways big and small you have both enforced the views we already held dear but that the world seems to think out of step and given us new ways to be the women God intended us to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1153876693286091162006-07-25T18:18:00.000-07:002006-07-25T18:18:00.000-07:00It's true.

I love the Noel Coward saying, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun." I expect it was because they didn't have the knowledge to stay indoors (or under shade) in the hot countries that they colonized whereas the 'natives' did.
