If that’s true, we should be complimenting others—a lot. http://truewoman.com/?id=1700 2011-05-26T16:14:35-05:00 As a young girl, I watched my mom go on every diet imaginable. I watched her make faces at herself in the mirror. I watched her duck and cover any time a camera lens was pointed in her direction. And I thought, “If there’s something wrong with my beautiful mom, there must be something wrong with me.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1692 2011-05-26T16:06:46-05:00 I have a confession. I’ve never been big on corporate prayer. I feel funny when people ask me to pray with them. I’ve always thought that standing in a circle and holding hands while praying felt awkward and a little disingenuous. http://truewoman.com/?id=1688 2011-05-26T16:03:38-05:00 Tell me if this happens at your house. You circle Mother’s Day on your husband’s calendar with red ink. You leave a note with the URL for your favorite florist on the bathroom sink, along with the number for rush deliveries just in case . . . http://truewoman.com/?id=1684 2011-05-26T16:00:02-05:00 The movies, the husbands, the jewels, the magazine cover shoots . . . no one can quite hone in on the source of her fame and the reason why her legacy will last. http://truewoman.com/?id=1681 2011-05-26T15:56:08-05:00 Several weeks ago, my three-year-old son, Eli came home from church brokenhearted. After several moments of crying we finally pried out what was troubling him. “I want . . .” sob, sob, “Jesus to give me,” sob, sob, “my heart back” he wailed. http://truewoman.com/?id=1654 2011-04-15T10:19:01-05:00 I know that some of you are feeling anxious too. So, as Christians, how should we respond when the world news is bleak?
