Nonconformity Has Blessings

My, my. Isn’t it interesting how media glamorizes nonconformity? You’d think nonconformists would be more appreciated. Like a lot of families who visit this site.

Big Families

Do you ever think about what life will be like when you’re in your 70s or 80s? I’m reminded every once in a while, and it helps me keep the right perspective on life. It’s easy to lose sight when there are dishes to wash, bills to pay, and diapers to change.

Do Large Families Deter Individuality?

No, this is not Cooper Fitzpatrick. This is Micah. He has more individualism than we can manage sometimes.

We had an experience last week between two worlds, two extremes. (1) Smaller is better, gives “individuals” more time to themselves, builds better “individuality” and self-esteem and love for self. (2) Bigger is better, forces “individuals” to relate to others, builds family and relationships and love for others.
