Wicked Smart Thought for the Day – DIY

Some things in life are not meant to be outsourced. The Boston Globe had an article about people outsourcing the holiday decorating of their homes. Really? Life is so hectic that you even outsource the small pleasures?

Whatever happened to the Christmas Vacation-like adventure of climbing up on your own rooftop to precariously perch all those lovely lights!?!

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).
