Hey, ladies, it’s August 26, Equality Day! Woo-hoo!
How’s it going so far? In case you are not in the
loop, Women’s Equality Day
commemorates August 26, 1920 when the right for women to vote became official. But equality has not rained down happiness on women.

Mary’s Assumption—You’d Better Believe It!
Mary was assumed
into heaven, body and soul. Yeah right,
some non-Catholic Christians say. I once
even heard a Catholic with Protestant leanings say, “Mary was just a person, no
different than the rest of us.” Oh
PLEEZE people! Mary’s assumption only
makes sense. If God took Elijah up into heaven in a whirlwind, why would he not
do likewise for the mother of his son?

Not Enough Sex Ed in 4th Grade?
Call me repressed, but having
sex with boys was not on my radar screen at ten years old. After all, they had
cooties. Jumping rope and watching cartoons
was where it was at for fourth graders during my childhood.
According to the Institute
for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, that sort of blissful ignorance is bad for kids. Their research “Investing in
Very Young Adolescents’ Sexual and Reproductive Health” was published in the Global
Public Health journal last month. They claim their findings show that children
should start receiving formal sexual education as early as age 10 to decrease
unintended pregnancies, “unsafe” abortions (all are unsafe for the baby)
maternal deaths, and sexually transmitted infections.

Guard Your Mouth to a Happier Marriage
When we say I do we should also say, I won’t—I won’t use my words to hurt my
spouse. Infidelity, addictions, and other major destructive behaviors can
inflict mortal wounds on a marriage. But
perhaps the greatest source of damage on relationships is the seemingly less
harmful ones, particularly the cuts to the heart made through unkind speech.
