Titus 2 Joy: May 2010
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Mom, the Baby is Here! My son called early the morning of April 27 to say that Josiah had arrived! The labor was short, and the baby arrived weighing 9 pounds 12 ounces and was 23 inches long! My husband and I drove up with a meal and spent the next three days cooking meals, reading to the older children, and enjoying our new grandson. When the baby slept, mom slept- usually during the day! 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. The ag...

Titus 2 Joy: June 2010
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Phoebe Elizabeth Winderweedle, my maternal grandmother known by her nickname "Bettie", was one of 12 children- six boys and six girls. I never knew her, but she has always been a vivid person in my thoughts, since I was named for her. I have always been called Bettie. When my parents married, and after I was born, they went to Brazil as Presbyterian missionaries and my mother never saw her mom again. My dad was one of three children, and my mother was one of eleven. When D...Becau...

Titus 2 Joy: Communication Woes
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2011/05/communication-woes.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Many of us have experienced times when true communication seems impossible and frustrating. Take for example, discussions about abortion, where opposite sides try to claim the higher ground in defending a "woman's rights." Though both sides claim to be championing what is best for the mother, when the pro-life side brings in biblical arguments, the pro-abortion side refuses to accept any religious stance. My husband's definition...

Titus 2 Joy: April 2010
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Lady in Waiting Again! And wonder- should I go ahead and soak my bread to make tomorrow? What if the call comes and I am in the middle of making bread? Do we have time to plant the windbreak trees we bought the other day? We have not finished getting the garden beds readied for planting- we should have already planted the beets and Swiss chard! The words from Ecclesiastes 9:10 come to mind:. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Titus 2 Joy: A Midwifery Student's Paper
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2011/04/midwifery-students-paper.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. A Midwifery Student's Paper. My Calling, My Heart. Growing up, I was the little girl who played with dolls. Most of my friends loved toy horses or Barbies but I cared more about taking care of my babies. Consequently, whenever I saw a real baby, I was severely interested and fascinated. I remember thinking they were so adorable and sweet and innocent. It horrified me when they cried and I wanted to comfort them. And the culture in which I lived had always told me. Gentle birth wi...

Titus 2 Joy: August 2011
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Feeling Like Fine China. Lately I have been feeling some sadness at growing older. After living a very active life for over sixty years, emotions similar to “empty nest syndrome” have been creeping in. Nothing really desperate, mind you, just thoughts like: “Is this all there is to life at this age? Why am I already feeling lonely, as if I were truly alone, as when a spouse dies? When we finally settled down long enough, my husband told me that whatever of our possessions we did...

Titus 2 Joy: December 2012
http://titus2joy.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The Importance of Being Earnest. The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Wilde's most enduringly popular play. When I was a young mother, I was distressed when one of the ladies in the church we were attending said she and her husband did not teach their children the Bible because they wanted their children to discover Christianity for themselves! That was 40 years ago! How many families in how many churches believe the same thing? Where were and ...
