credit I found this page in a folder of Women's Ministry tools that I have collected over the years. I thought I would share it as a basis guide to help you during your quiet time. The guide is based upon the A.C.T.S. prayer model: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. This is similar to the D.R.A.W. Deeper ...

Parenting 101 – Tip #1
credit Parenting is rough. Period! I have yet to find someone who disagrees with this statement. Even those with "angel" children find themselves on their knees begging God for wisdom and strength. Several years ago while listening to Focus on the Family, I heard six tips that I thought were too good not to pass along. ...
How Will It End?
It is hard to believe that it has come to an end. A set of videos that have explained the Bible and caused us to fall in love with puppets named Buck Denver, Pastor Paul, and Sunday School Lady. If you are confused, I beg you to take a moment to read my past blog posts about the "What's in the Bible?" DVDs created by Phil Vischer and ...
Are You Doing Your Part for the Body of Christ?
I just have to share.... I receive several emails a day. While the majority of them are very encouraging and supportive, some are rude and hateful. A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a lady who felt I could improve the layout of the ABC Jesus Loves Me website to make it easier to navigate. I kindly replied but didn't ...
Quality Magazines for Children
credit A question was asked on our ABC Jesus Loves Me Facebook Group concerning magazines for children. Great question. Here are our favorites. My Aunt and Uncle give our kiddos Ranger Rick Jr. for Christmas each year. We love this gift. The kids like it because they learn cool facts and see up-close and personal ...

Impressing Jesus on Them: It All Begins with Me Part 1
credit Last week I shared a children minister's wisdom that I can't raise "godly" children if I am not growing myself. To raise children who have a personal relationship with their Savior, we must "practice faith together as a family." With so much truth, she shared, "It's easy to want something for our kids that we don't have ...
Impressing Jesus on Them: Where to Start?
credit After reading two articles, I realized that my goal of parenting was seriously missing the mark. Instead of raising good, moral children I should strive to raise children who you are broken. {Yes, you read that correctly.} Read yesterday's post "Why I Want My Children to be Broken" to understand why. My goal of ...
Impressing Jesus on Them: Why I Want My Children to Be Broken
credit In November I shared a blog post called "Seven Major Blindspots of Homeschooling and Parenting." The post contained comments to an article that I read written by Reb Bradley. Not long after, I read another similar article by Barrett Johnson called "How to Raise a Pagan Kid in a Christian Home." These two articles put my brain ...
Impressing Jesus on Them: What is the Purpose of Consequences?
On Wednesdays, our newspaper prints a column by Dr. John Rosemond. While I don't agree with all of his parenting advice (especially when dealing with children who have disabilities), our overall thoughts are very similar. High expectations for all children. Boundaries that prove the test of time. Unconditional love that has no end. Pretty ...
