Modesty Monday 6 – My idea of modesty

I don’t think I ever appreciated how quickly Mondays sneak up on you until I had the bright idea to start a blog series that runs on Mondays. Brilliant, Katie.  Anyway, time for my idea (sorry to bore you, drum up a guest poster and we’ll have interesting new spins!). I don’t ever remember hearing [...]

Modesty Monday 5 – Wood Turtle’s take on Modesty

So I took two weeks off, I apologize. But I’m psyched to get back to exploring different concepts of modesty for women from different backgrounds. Today my guest writer is Wood Turtle, who blogs brilliantly about Islam, Feminism, and motherhood. She’s currently expecting her second, (any day now!) and was enormously gracious and still managed [...]

Modesty Monday 4 – Nikkiana’s idea of Modesty

As I head into a fourth week of asking women from backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life to talk to us about their concept of modesty, I have to take a second to say how honored I am that so many awesome women have been willing to share their perspectives. I also want to thank [...]

Modesty Monday 2 – Rachel’s idea of Modesty

[I'd like to preface her post with this gentle reminder that I, alone control the comment section for this page, and I do so with a pc-meter finely tuned by an upbringing in an easily-offended blue-state. So I encourage everyone to be loving and accepting - you know, like Jesus.] For today’s Modesty Monday post, [...]

Modesty Monday

At long last! I can start my Modesty series with a guest post from the wonderful Stacy over at Catholic & Crunchy! But first things first, let’s define modesty – as it is frequently confused with Humility, and these are not the same. What’s telling when you look this word up, the many (many) ads [...]

Don’t tell me how to Worship

Well, my husband must be rubbing off on me, because I’m about to do some quoting. 1 Kings 19:9-12 There he (Elijah) came to a cave, where he took shelter. But the word of the LORD came to him: Why are you here, Elijah? He answered, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the [...]

7 Quick Takes Friday 1.4

Today is another round of the 7 Quick Takes Game – which was invented by Jen at Conversion Diary, and if you go over there you can see other awesome people who are also playing (though probably all of the people who see this clicked through from there). 1. I want to start a series [...]

Let’s try another way

So I’ve had a lot of conversations – and gotten a lot of awesome feedback – on the topic of yesterday’s post about modesty & responsibility. I reiterate that I think we as a culture would all benefit from a legitimate study of gender roles (as well as race relations) – but I think I have [...]

Bikinis, Feminism, and Modesty

Yet another post which will probably get me in trouble and win me no friends. Oh well. I now firmly believe that every single person should have to take a Women’s Studies or Politics of Gender class in High School – because a lot of the time I think we don’t fully realize what we’re [...]
