The Underachieving Resolution

By -


A little something I stole from Joyce Meyer: I will be kind and show mercy. Humility is the attitude God requires of me. Never am I to view myself as better than anyone. I will give to God what He requires, which is to do what is just, love mercy and kindness, and walk humbly with Him.

You see, Underachieving Churchgirl harbors within herself an Overbearing Church Lady. Seriously, someone once called me Church Lady when I wrote some not very nice things online. I regretted writing those not very nice things. I don’t want to ever have that feeling again.

So fellow underachievers, let us resolve therefore to be kind and show mercy here, to practice humility, and remember we must answer to God for the things we say to one another. Let us do what is just, let us love mercy and kindness, and let us strive to walk humbly with God, however imperfectly we do it.

No Church Ladies here please!

Success? Or Failure? Those are Your Two Options

"Mom, what if I fail at life?" --asked by my 11 year old son in the car on the way to school this morning. What if I fail at life. Oh, how I long to take this child up in my arms like I did when he was only four years old, and hold him and hug him and kiss him, cradle him and stroke his face and tell him, "Child, child. You are loved. You are a treasure. You are enough. God will hold you in the palm of His mighty hand all the days of your life..." But he's a fifth grader now, and he's jumping out of the car and on his way to class, and this being a mom of a fifth grader gig is no walk in the park. "Life is hard. Some people give up. But, never give up. Never say die. Always fight." I knew the words were lame the moment they came out of my mouth. How do you answer such a question? Life isn't a test you have to pass. Life is not proving yourself. Life isn't a competition to see who makes it to the finish line and who sets up a ...

Accomodations for Gender Diverse Students in Nevada's Schools

By -
In 2017, The Nevada State Legislature passed SB225, a new law that provides rights, privileges, and protections for gender diverse students in Nevada schools. The Nevada Department of Education will vote on the new policy on March 30th. At this point in the process, it's not IF this new policy will be implemented in our kids' schools, but WHEN. Still, there are some things you should know. Every student is entitled to dignity, privacy, and respect. The problem is, this policy does not accomplish that. In fact, this regulation infringes upon students' right to free speech, as well as their right to privacy. It violates parental rights. It eliminates competitive fairness and equal opportunity in school sports. It raises troubling religious liberty issues, and micro-manages Nevada's diverse student populations with mandatory, one-size-fits-all state oversight. How will SB225 impact my child's right to free speech at school? Schools are not permitted to dictate w...

No Tolerance for Christians

All eyes were on Rocklin, California on Monday, September 18, as parents and protesters gathered at a school board meeting to decide on some ground rules moving forward. After a kindergarten teacher read two books promoting transgenderism in children to her class last year at Rocklin Academy, and then orchestrated a trans boy's "reveal," as you can imagine, the 5-year olds were confused by this and afraid, and their parents were horrified that they had not been alerted to the discussion beforehand. Unfortunately, no change will be made regarding how Rocklin Academy handles the subject of transgenderism in their school. Parents will not be notified when instruction on the topic occurs, nor will they be offered the option of opting their child out of such instruction. This same brand of tyranny is coming to a school near you soon, if it isn't already there. Like Rocklin Academy, parents' wishes will be disregarded in your child's school, too. There are sc...
