Happy Mothers Day

Mothers Day in Alabama! Cori, mom and I went out for breakfast at Panera's while Grayson watched the kiddos. It was delicious and a real treat! Yum!!


On our way to the beach one day we listened to a great talk from Doug Philips called "What's a Girl to Do?" and he had a great quote from Peter Marshall. I thought it was great for Mother's Day.

"Godly womanhood ... the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom do we hear of a godly woman - or of a godly man either, for that matter. We believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife, than to be Miss America. It is a greater achievement to establish a Christian home than it is to produce a second-rate novel filled with filth. It is a far, far better thing in the realms of morals to be old-fashioned, than to be ultra-modern. The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave. The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct."
- Former U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall, 1940's
