And isn't life grand!

Sure. Productivity is near an all-time high, especially at daycare centers. ;-)

There's nothing preventing an ambitious gal from being a Godly wife and mother after doing God's bidding elsewhere in the world. Everything in its time, and according to His will. The evidence that it is God's will that some women should thus proceed is manifestly evident in the fruit borne of their collective enterprises. 'sall good.

I know two young ladies, spiritually, physically and mentally strong....cousins....homeschoolers....Christians. One, my own, is a Merchant Marine officer , her cousin, a missionary teaching English and Math to poor South American children. Both have ambitions, also, of being wives, mothers, and homeschooling parents. They are light-bringers on their appointed missions, acting in His name and in accord with His instructions. The Holy Spirit does not ask permission to act; nor is it constrained by interpretations of men..and women...regarding the meaning its own proclamations.

I do not think ye shall see Miss McDonald's progeny in a daycare.

Grandma....you did what???!!!????
