They proceed to tell her that the pirate's codes are more like guidelines than hard and fast laws. I fear sometimes that people approach the Bible this way. They don't believe that when the Bible says things like I. Corinthians 7:1-2, "Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband" that they are laws and rules. Some might say well that is extreme I'm dating and we're not supposed to touch at all. That's more of a guide line so that you don't go too far. Is that how you feel about the Bible when our societal norms don't mesh with what the Bible says?

It was amazing there were two awesome speakers and sisters in Christ. The first speaker was International Ambassador Ruth Davis and the second was Essence Magazine Editor-at Large Mikki Taylor! I gave her a copy of the premiere issue of Virtuous and she said she'd give me her thoughts on the mag. I wish I would've had a copy of the Spring issue because I think it looks so much better but you have to work with what you have. :) Anyways the day was really great and I saw a lot of friends I hadn't seen in a long time. The ladies of West End did a superb job. So yeah I am still on a little baby high! Also don't forget the Summer issue comes out in 1 week! Order your subscription now to ensure you get your copy. And remember Virtuous makes a wonderful Mother's Day gift.<br /><br />Ciao<div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe at www.virtuousmagazine.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099710925871191777.post-1157500493661977782010-04-13T10:59:00.003-04:002010-04-13T11:09:44.309-04:00"He who spares his rod hates his son..."<a href="http://americanmoms.com/art/article-tantrums-photo.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 369px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 620px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://americanmoms.com/art/article-tantrums-photo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100412/hl_time/08599198101900">This article </a>found on yahoo claims to present "hard" evidence as to why parents shouldn't spank their children. I believe anyone who reads this article and then compares it to children in their families or that they have seen in public will find its findings to be completley opposite from real life. I have personally found that children who are not spanked are "More likely to be defiant, demand immediate satisfaction of their wants and needs, get frustrated easily, have temper tantrums and lash out physically against others" than those who are. But maybe that's just me. I am not a "scientist" I just obey and believe my Bible.

She had the most amazing projects and this little gem was one of them. Immediately I knew I had to possess one! So off I went to the local Goodwill to gather my tools. And here is a picture tutorial of how you can have one too! Because as we all know the Virtuous woman was a diy-er. And something like this in the store would easily cost $20. Look forward to more diy and let me know how your projects, whatever they are, turn out.

I have been super busy working on the new issue, welcoming a friend's new baby and sharing the good news of Virtuous to other congregations. It was well received at <a href="http://www.msop.org/">MSOP</a> and I was told that Sis. Cates loved it and said it was on par with Christian Woman! I am still reeling from that one. :) My dad just got back from the lectureship and took some photos of Virtuous in the library there and I will share those soon. Oh and building my own craft room table based on one from Pottery barn that I never could have afforded with the wonderful help of Ana over at <a href="http://www.knockoffwood.blogspot.com/">Knock Off Wood!</a> Pictures are attached and I promise I will post more often.

Who need support and encouragement!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I am Sunil Raju, 23-year old member and preacher of the Church of Christ in India. I have just completed my Bachelor's Degree in engineering and am hoping to continue my studies within the next year to obtain my Master's Degree, Lord willing. Along with my studies, I have been working to spread the New Testament truth here and bring many lost souls to Christ.<br />My grandfather has preached in various congregations since 1970. My father was also a Baptist church member until he married my mother and came to know the New Testament truth and was baptized in the Church of Christ. For the past 8 years my father has been completely involved in the Lord's work. He is now the preacher in Gonepudi Church of Christ, a small village near my town. I have been helping my father preach the Word of God in several villages. I came to know the New Testament truth through my father and began working for the Churches of Christ at the age of 17 years.<br />For the past 6 years we have been spreading the Word of God to many unreached villages and bringing many souls to Christ. We had a good harvest, but the workers became fewer. So, we began teaching and encouraging some church members and denomination preachers, leading them through the New Testament truth. Some of these preachers have begun preaching and starting congregations in other villages. We have 5 congregations at this time with about 20 members in each congregation. Preaching School<br />We are conducting Bible studies for the preachers at my home one day each month. Some denomination preachers are also attending the classes. Because of these Bible classes we have conducted for the preachers, 4 denomination preachers have been converted to the New Testament Church and have begun working with us. We have been providing traveling expenses, breakfast, and lunch to the preachers who attend the classes. Also, we have been helping our preachers with a small gift every 3 months. For the detailed information about the Preaching School please <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/churchofchristindia/preachingschoolproposal.htm">Click here</a><br />Orphan home<br />We have had many baptisms in the past few years. I hope and pray we will have many more conversions in the future. We have orphans, semi-orphans, distitutes and widows in some of our congregations. We have been feeding these orphan children and widows once or twice a month. We would dearly love to start an orphan home for these children to provide shelter, food, and clothing and to share the love of Christ with them. For the detailed information about the orphan home please <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/churchofchristindia/orphanhomeproposal.htm">Click here</a><br />Most of our congregations are in villages and in tribal areas. All our church members are very poor. We help them with clothing, blankets and other necessities. We provide Bibles to the needy. We are doing much work in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ here in India. In His service, Sunil Raju.

I attended the Tara COC lectureship on Saturday, met up with some old friends and made some new ones! (Shout out to Teresa from Forest Park) :) Then I went to a friend's Pampered Chef party and all I can say about that was yum! I then enjoyed an amazing sermon by Bro. Eric Owens about what's really important in your life and that's saving your own soul and then saving the souls of the ones you love.<br /><br />I use to own a bridal shop renting designer gowns and I decided to close it to focus on the magazine. So I had a woman come to look at a dress yesterday and she was telling me that this would be her second time being married. And so we had a good time trying on dresses and just talking. After she left I was wondering if I should say anything to her about scriptural reasons for being re-married. So later on that night I was doing my daily bible reading and in the chapters I was reading God tells Moses to go to Pharoh. Moses' reply is what struck me the most. He said, "Who am I that I should go to Pharoh?" Who am I that I should... is what I was thinking concerning this woman that I had just met. But then I thought I am the light of the world and if I don't who will?<br /><br />So I called her and told her that I was concerned about her and told her what the scriptures said and she was so happy that I called. We had a good conversation and I mentioned that my father, who is a minister, does pre-marital counseling and she was very open to it. Needless to say when you do the right thing it always works out. Pray for courage and boldness to speak the truth of God's word. See people as the souls they are and try and help them wherein you can. Let's all try and remember what's truly important as we go through our daily walks.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe at www.virtuousmagazine.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099710925871191777.post-85924547609438013962010-01-29T08:18:00.000-05:002010-01-29T08:23:54.691-05:00Getting ready for V-DAY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtH3UeuG3qhR_rjSrpJbHgygIN98-wF4frsBKVLjzKEPdGzI1jbk1T9lYTV8pqRNIraRQFugoofCqxiY8_yFjUzl_3lXkcijYEhlH7jhL6veUtV34mvrtEddw0j_slG4q1u4rt-z7n-Tk/s1600-h/paper-heart-garland.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432151921124771378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 271px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtH3UeuG3qhR_rjSrpJbHgygIN98-wF4frsBKVLjzKEPdGzI1jbk1T9lYTV8pqRNIraRQFugoofCqxiY8_yFjUzl_3lXkcijYEhlH7jhL6veUtV34mvrtEddw0j_slG4q1u4rt-z7n-Tk/s400/paper-heart-garland.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggEkMFQcnvxmFPjIJicpqLEsNPIDE4eBA0OLgA5YUxJ2HxdUXNZJgLY_L_NTnBSCHZsig6iDEd4oRiAtTnkYPxuv9Cb0hLD3wByH1XLey0ijy6ciyle_4RtTh8axgw6eg2AnUjhcBQGJ9t/s1600-h/paper-heart-garland.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Hello world!

The month before a launch is ALWAYS hectic, and you'd think that now would be a time to take some deep breaths and relax but no. Now is the time to focus on marketing. So while I focus on that here is an interesting article from the Christian Courier about how politicians always claim to love the kids, when in fact the laws that they instate do anything but support children.

Just a few things happening over here at Virtuous. I met with the editor of Virtuous Mom and hashed out the plans for its contents and release. We were both very excited about the project and I am sure Christian moms everywhere will benefit from the variety of topics it will cover. And issue two of Virtuous is coming your way in less than two weeks! It is chock full of V-day goodies, health and beauty info and of course encouraging evangelism ideas and topics. Also be sure to check out our new website <a href="http://www.virtuousmagazine.com/">www.virtuousmagazine.com</a>! Don't forget about the Swap 'n' Shop to celebrate issue two; let me know if it sounds like something you'd be interested in. And on a side note I just heard on the radio that Atlanta was voted the gayest city in the USA. I would've never guessed anyone could beat San Francisco, but alas it appears I was wrong. The many many many propositions that have been put up for homosexual "marriage" in the legislature have been voted against; showing that the country still has some sort of moral compass. I am sure many people would say I am anti-homosexuality; I am in fact simply Pro-God.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe at www.virtuousmagazine.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099710925871191777.post-75736209203741453482010-01-18T11:22:00.000-05:002010-01-18T11:24:09.414-05:00HAPPY MLK DAY!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jhs1968.com/web_images/84ec2b56d17a5e528d1ab371da7ef5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 423px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.jhs1968.com/web_images/84ec2b56d17a5e528d1ab371da7ef5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe at www.virtuousmagazine.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099710925871191777.post-63669697921630214292010-01-15T11:51:00.000-05:002010-01-15T11:55:43.177-05:00Help for Haiti<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/haiti/gfx/titlephoto2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 470px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/haiti/gfx/titlephoto2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here is a short list of ways you can help the Haitian relief efforts.

Basically everyone brings gently used and clean clothes, shoes, jewelry and housewares etc.. and the goods are put on display. Then we shop! What's left over is donated to charity. It's a win-win, you get to do some New Year's cleaning, get free stuff and donate to charity all at the same time. Light refreshments will also be served. The event will serve as a great way for all of us Virtuous women to meet and get to know each other. Dates and location are to TBA but let me know if you'd be interested, and sorry for those not in the Atlanta area. :(<div class="blogger-post-footer">Subscribe at www.virtuousmagazine.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099710925871191777.post-76576825853687661582010-01-03T19:49:00.000-05:002010-01-03T19:57:19.226-05:00HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_295/1217642359U2qGo2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 216px;" src="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_295/1217642359U2qGo2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year Virtuous Women!!!
