Could you recommend some middle school girls small group materials?
Now that our third child (10 months old) is getting older and needing more focused attention from me, I am having a hard time figuring out how to balance time with him and time with my older two. As long as the baby is napping, I can get great time with my other children, but when he is awake, I feel like I should be spending more time playing with him, reading to him, etc. Sometimes the older children like to play with the baby, too, which makes it easy. But how do you figure out the times when the older children need "big kid" playtime with mommy or just a focused, listening ear from mommy (which seems to be all day, every day, lately with my other two!)
Hello, My wife and I are having a disagreement. She sold a truck that she owned before we were married but she sold it to my brother after we were married. He has been making payments and all has been well...until now. My wife is now saying that this payment will only be used for what she has deemed acceptable options. She has named 2 items that the money will go towards. I explained that we each equal 50% of the decision making process but she says she disagrees because it's her money. I explained that we are one flesh now and that any money coming in has to be handled together as husband and wife. She still disagrees. Can you help us?
I know that Carl has a Catholic background, right? I’ve been praying for a long time for boldness in sharing my faith. I have a Catholic friend who, just recently called me up out of the blue and said these words, “I’m just tired of trying. I can’t make myself holy and I want my kids to be saved. I can’t keep up. There has to be something easier. I feel like I’m going to hell if I don’t make it to confession.” What can I say to her? Any tools to help me? I’m afraid I will mess it all up.
We are planning to homeschool our son next year. He will be in
second grade. I’m taking this one year at a time because I have never
desired to do this nor do I feel equipped for it but both my husband and
I, due to some bad experiences at his school, sense that God wants us
to do this., Anyway, when you have time, could you give me some
thoughts. Gotta go – my toddler is sitting on the coffee table while
I’m writing this –
