Today, I enjoyed reading a blog post by Kelly on the topic of Titus 2 in her Make-over series. It reminded me of my post here about the topic.

The two post go nicely together. I see a lot of “older women” either ignoring the scripture that says they are to teach the younger women or not taking it seriously. Why is that? Do they consider themselves not qualified? If God’s Word is the foundation of everything in a woman’s life, she is then qualified. If she is simply going on her own strength, then no, she doesn’t have any wisdom to share.

As I shared with a new acquaintance the other day, I see a lot of young women that do speak a lot of unwise words, mostly opinion. I also observe a lot of disrespect towards things that the older women share; especially if it is from scripture. Opinions seem to be more welcome. Why is THAT so? Thinking out loud, I wonder if it has anything to do with a lack of fearing God.

Psalm 111:10a The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

For the most part, it seems like the ball is dropping on both ends. Ladies, let’s not be guilty of not being teachable or of ignoring God’s will for us no matter our age.

Have a peaceful and fruitful day as you serve your families.

Okay, this site will probably give your husband and young, teenage sons a chuckle. As for me… um, I guess I have to view it with my homeschool mommy eyes to consider it of any value.

Soak pinto beans overnight, drain, put in fresh water and cook all day. Make lots for leftovers, but use a big pot and watch that water!

In the evening, drain and set a few cups aside for one meal.

Add a can of tomato something, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and lots of salt to make chili. You can also add hamburger if you want to. We serve with chopped onion and shredded cheese. We have also enjoyed it in bread bowls that we made.

The next day, take the leftovers and smash them. If they are too juicy, run them through the food processor (the blade) and make refried beans to have as nachos with more cheese, onion, lettuce, sour cream.

The next night, have homemade pizza with sauce, any kind of cheese, and anything you can find to put on it, even if it’s just hamburger…or just cheese!

The next night, take the remainder of the smashed, seasoned beans and have burritos.

The next day, take out the beans that were set aside and add something tomatoey (my own word), but don’t make it runny, lots of salt, cumin and make some hush puppies or corn bread. Serve the beans over.

The following day, make up some macaroni. Throw all the leftover beans in with the drained macaroni then add cheese. If it needs thinning, ad a bit of water or tomato something. Wha la! Chilimac! To stretch it, make a bisquick topping and spread it over the whole thing.

Reuse the back of junk mail envelopes and the envelopes you remove bills from. I use the backs of them for my note paper to makes lists: Grocery lists, to do lists, or jot down things I need to remember. I never buy cute/fancy note pads, although I have been known to receive a few as gifts.
