Home Needs a Fix
Dear Holly,
My house is upside down. I am hoping though, to get things in order soon. We were just given a book case, so I hope to get my books and papers in order soon. Since I have a bad back, I have been on bedrest a lot lately, hence the disarray of my house. I have my office, game room, library, classroom, living room, and even my bedroom now. . . full of papers and books, spread out everywhere. I try to do schooling and lesson planning, from my bed, so now I have a mess here too.I'm pretty ashamed of it, and feel like I can't even get ahead now. With God's help and grace, I am trying to get in order, pile by pile. It's starting to look like I'm a pack rat, even though I'm really not, but books and papers, are easily taking over my house.Labels: 5th P Provider

"Apprenticing" Our Children
Dear Holly,
On page 114 of A Mother's Rule of Life, you say parents are to apprentice their children in life. Could you explain this further, please? Thanks so much!Labels: 4th P Parent

Can Spiritual Direction Hamper Marital Intimacy?
Dear Holly,
Our entire home schooling family has greatly benefited from a Mother's Rule. Life is indeed better, more God-centered than before. Now my wife seems to be considering placing herself under the discipline of a"spiritual director" and as I read what is involved, specificallyThomas Dubay's book on spiritual direction, I am deeply concerned that this might violate the sanctity and unity of the marriage, to be, in effect, a form of spiritual adultery.
Doesn't the obedience and submission of a married woman to another man violate a relationship what God has said should exist only between husband and wife? This is in no way a challenge and I do not fault the role of a spiritual director in the life of young priest, for example. I am genuinely perplexed and have serious doubts about the benefits of such an arrangement within a marriage, regardless of the "other" man's rectitude and holiness. You talk about your spiritual director in a Mother's Rule and, I gather, this causes Philip no distress.Labels: 1st P Prayer, 3rd P Partner
