The Virtuous Woman: Proverbs 31

The virtuous woman of Proverbs 31:10-31. We love her. We hate her. We all wish we could be her. We feel condemned and ashamed because we aren’t her. And most of us don’t understand her at all. For many of us, this passage serves as a high bar of womanhood we can never achieve. WeContinue reading “The Virtuous Woman: Proverbs 31”

We say things like “God’s ways are not our ways” or “God sees things we can not see,” but inside we still want to be able to understand God.Continue reading “Dry Bones”
