Amen! I wear pretty clothes, take the time to get my hair "just right" in the morning, and many other "girlish" things, but I can also throw a shot put 35 ft and squat 253 pounds (which, fyi, is like 100 lb more than weigh), thank you very much! A lot of the notions people have about "ladylike" behavior are in my opinion not Biblical princpiles, but archaic stereotypes.

(pounds fist with Neniel) I'm just not as athletic as you are, but then again, I never had the chance.
Sigh.
Homeschooling stinks.

Sports is one of the things I would love to be in if I were a public schooler. Overall though, I love homeschooling. I'm just so used to it; and I know I'd never survive going to a place where you hear swearing, etc.... 24/7. (not saying that I'm AGAINST people going to public school, just that I'm against me going there lol)
I understand what you're saying though Steelsheen...soccer tourneys with SE don't exactly compare......

Lol, yeah, that's the big problem with home schooling.... But I got lucky with my school, or at least the kids whot ake the smae classes I do, cause there's really not a lot of swearing and stuff, and while only a few of my friends are Christians, all of them have similar morals to mine.
That was so off topic....

Okay, getting back on track... 4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment. 6 She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, “Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you, ‘Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 from the people of Naphtali and the people of Zebulun. 7 And I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops, and I will give him into your hand’?” 8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” 9 And she said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. These verses are from Judges 4. (ESV, if it really matters.) I know someone mentioned before that Deborah was involved milirarily, and yes, she was, but notice that she only went after Barak refused to go alone. This adds to my point about women having to step in when men don't do their job. If Barak would have obeyed God, he would have been the one to kill Sisera, but God used a woman (Jael) instead because Barak would not fulfil his role. Here is a follow up post addressed primarily to the girls from the Rebelution. www.therebelution.com/blog/2006/08/when-lancelot-comes-riding-part-1/ |

Yes Deborah must have rather ashamed the men  I think hers was an abnormal case too. Is she like the only woman in the Bible who went into war? *thinking.....* |

Well, there's Judith, though that wasn't technically war, that was more of a "mission" kinda thing....

She's not in my Bible.... Catholics have more books than protestants.
