What Makes a Wicked Smart Woman

A lot of things – send me what you think a Wicked Smart Woman is made of and I will put them on my blog!

1. Hates to say “no,” – but will
2. Works because she wants to; not because she “has” to
3. Takes care of herself first – it makes for a better caretaker for others
4. Looks at the price tag…and buys it anyway
5. Eats dessert
6. Marries for love despite the divorce rate
7. Isn’t afraid to be single
8. Knows a lot of great wines for less than $10.00 a bottle
9. Knows a good financial planner who’s not her spouse
10. Brings home the bacon, fries it up in a pan and never lets you forget she’s a (working) woman

Women Should Just Have Babies… Unless They’re Wicked Smart

Last weekend I opened the Boston Globe and read an article that referenced some new classes at Southwestern Baptist Technological Seminary. Specifically classes titled “Biblical Model of the Home and Family,” and “Wife of the Equipping Minister” that are open only to women and reinforce that “God expects wives to submit graciously to their husbands’ leadership.” In these courses the ladies get to learn about the “glorious inequalities of life,” as they are taught to give up their own dreams to have children and be nice tidy wives to the “more important species” – man. Hey girls get this! You can learn how to properly set the table, sew buttons and sustain lively dinner-time conversation! Wow, awesome!Ladies, just an FYI – the Bible, while a nice if-it’s-what-you-want-to-believe guide to life, does not have to be a) taken so literally and b) was written by … wait for it… men. (Note: inspired by God does not change that fact).
