Inside Girls Gone Wise, Mary Kassian looks closely at the “wild thing” of Proverbs 7, contrasting her teachability, habits, appearance, focus, and more with those of the wisdom found in the rest of Proverbs. Each of the 20 chapters looks in depth at a point of contrast, using real-life illustrations and providing challenges that go straight to the heart of any girl who wants to be wise.

Great Things to Be Thankful For
by Chantel on November 24, 2010 in Prayer & Devotion
Truly, in light of all that He has done for us this year–every single day of this year–our hearts would do well to join with David in exulting “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah,” (Psalms 68:19 KJV) and in joining our voices together in praising Him who has done so many Great Things for us as His children.

by Chantel on November 19, 2010 in Children & Family, Kitchen & Garden
Thanksgiving dinner is a time when we often go “all out” and make it big and bountiful. After all, that’s part of what Thanksgiving is all about. But, sometimes money is tight and breaking the budget, even for Thanksgiving, isn’t an option.

by YLCF on November 9, 2010 in Kitchen & Garden
My kitchen window isn’t very big and it’s nothing fancy. Just a little kitchen window above my sink with some pretty fabric draped across the top. But it is my kitchen window. The one my dear husband put in just for me.
