The urgency of the last minute is something that many homemakers deal with regularly. No matter how organized we are, sometimes we put off tasks because we dislike them or wait until we are under pressure. Habitual…
Circumstantial overload might be the most difficult. We can choose not to go to a Norwex party if we need to give our schedule some space. But if a child breaks a leg in the middle of wedding preparations, we have no…

As sisters in the Lord and born-again believers, I am sure we would all agree that memorizing scripture is important to our spiritual health. I have memorized many, many Scripture verses during my childhood years. Most…
