Bad Dreams

In our household we like to have dream discussions. Especially when they were younger, the girls would share the dreams of the past night: funny dreams about our dog, strange dreams involving teeth, and scary dreams featuring snakes.

We tried not to take the dreams too seriously or invest them with too much importance. But dreams can also be impure.

GenAI makes stealing sermons even easier. Before I explain why you should limit your use of GenAI, I must admit I don’t wholly forbid it....

Some view this as a reaction to the devaluation of motherhood and domestic work in certain strands of feminism. On social media, tradwives often depict themselves as stay-at-home moms of numerous children dedicated to homeschooling, homemaking, and self-sufficiency. They raise chickens, plant gardens, can and preserve their homegrown fruits and vegetables, grow their own sourdough, cook and bake everything from scratch, make their own household cleaning products, and maintain an immaculate home. For many,...
