Other people, tv, movies, MUSIC, peer groups, all combine to show a child left at home that THIS is the way you should be. THEY love you, THEY never leave you, so why would that child even CONSULT with the absent parent about a choice he or she is about to make?

Ladies, our families need US to serve them as our most important ministry. WE need to be the ones to form those opinions about good and evil and right and wrong, and no youth group, school or church activity can replace the mother in the home when it comes to THAT type of teaching.

Ladies, bring your ministries home. Let your husband be the head that protects you, so you in turn can be the covering that protects those precious children. Abuse statistics are at alarming rates, and those stats are just from those who have revealed what has happened to them in the past.........how many more are out there?

When we first began this website, I knew abuse was a problem, but I had NO idea to what extent and in what proportions this was a problem IN THE CHURCH. I even began to think that I was one of the only ones who did NOT come from an abusive background, like I had this HUGE wart on my nose was raised on another planet.

I am grateful for the pasts that God has allowed in my life, but I am MOST grateful for a mother, who stayed the course, through a difficult marriage of her own, and STAYED at home, in her ministry there, and raised my sister and I safely. I thank God for a mother who, even though she COULD have chosen to leave the home and be a single mom, or even just leave the home and work and make a "better" life for us, chose "the good part", like the story of Mary and Martha with Jesus. My mother CHOSE her ministry, and that was us, her husband, her two daughters, her family and HER HOME.

Grace, my mother, the inspiration for "Ladies of Grace", with my sister, Nancy.
