Welcome to Making Home!

Welcome to Making Home!


I'm Jessica, but my friends often call me Jess, and if you'd like, you can read more about me here. My aim here at Making Home is to challenge Christian women to think beyond what American culture tells us, and to think beyond even what so-called "Christian" culture might tell us-- and to instead examine the issues that affect our homes from a biblical perspective.

Please join in the discussion- I welcome, read, and greatly enjoy comments from Making Home readers!

To contact me, write to me at this e-mail address:
MakingHome@pobox.com


Here are the some issues we've discussed previously that you might find interesting:


I also have four semi-regular features here at Making Home:
  • ADVICE & ANSWERS- This is an opportunity for you, the Making Home reader, to submit a question or situation for the consideration of all Making Home readers, to receive their advice, input, and answers to whatever you're thinking through or trying to figure out! It's a great opportunity to get a wide range of opinions and biblical input about the situations in your life.
  • INSIDE LOOK- Firsthand accounts from guest writers. These are great articles written with first hand experience in a wide range of areas... take a look- you'll learn something; I'm sure of it!
  • POLLS & QUERIES- These are questions for YOU to answer... some very serious, some silly, some with multiple choices, some open answer... but all things that I thought would be fun to ask and find out about my readers
  • SHOW & TELL- These posts are chock-full of links I've found to interesting articles, blogs, people, or ideas... this is my storehouse of great "finds" on the internet!

And if you're new to reading blogs, you need to know that this is kind of like an online magazine, where the most recent articles are posted to the top of the page, so as you scroll down through, you're scrolling backwards through time. You can use the archive menu (down and to the right on the sidebar menu) to access previous month's articles, and if you like to browse by subject, posts are arranged by "categories" as well, and you can click on the category you want to read about (the list is on the sidebar).

I'd love to hear your thoughts & comments, even on issues we've previously discussed... I read every comment, so it's great to have you join in!

So please, feel free to stay awhile, and if you're so inclined, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's examine what it means to make a home. I want to encourage you in your role as a Child of God, wife, homemaker, mother, homeschooler, friend, daughter, mentor, or student. Whatever your role is, I hope to encourage you to live rebelliously toward the world and obediently toward God.

Many Blessings!
