A few years ago, I was asked to speak at a Baylor University chapel service. And while there were a lot of things I wanted to say to the students, what I felt compelled to let them know was what happened to me there. I told them that I came to the school to get a Christian education, but what happened is that I got a girl pregnant — and I paid for her to have an abortion.

I didn’t fully grasp what I had done until about three days later. That’s when it really hit me. This shame just came over me ...

I had destroyed the life of my own child.

Raising Wise Daughters

From our earliest days as parents, my husband and I set our gaze on a specific purpose: raising our four girls to know and live in God’s wisdom. We know the best way to do that is by teaching them to follow Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”

So how do we raise daughters to fear the Lord, to live in light of His presence in their lives and thrive in God’s wisdom in the midst of a culture that doesn’t pursue Him?

Emma (PG)

Emma is one of Jane Austen’s most beloved characters – a headstrong, wealthy, manipulative young matchmaker who guides her friends and acquaintances to the altar. But sometimes Emma’s attempts to help end up hurting the very people she cares about.
