to the point where other women are asking her to teach them to sew. It is a great blessing
               to me to see all of these changes occurring with my wife. She is being conformed to the
               image of a “Titus Two Woman.”

                       Titus 2:3-5
                       Bid the older women similarly to be reverent and devout in their deportment as
                       becomes those engaged in sacred service, not slanderers or slaves to drink. They are
                       to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble, so that they will
                       wisely train the young women to be sane and sober of mind (temperate, disciplined)
                       and  to  love  their  husbands  and  their  children,  to  be  self-controlled,  chaste,
                       homemakers  [workers  at  home],  good-natured  (kindhearted),  adapting  and
                       subordinating  themselves  to  their  husbands, that  the  word  of  God  may  not  be
                       exposed to reproach (blasphemed or discredited).
                       (Amplified Bible)

               God has brought forth things in our home that I had not imagined possible in such a short
               period of time. There is no doubt that our family appears as a “peculiar people” in this hour
               when women are abandoning the traditional feminine roles of motherhood to  pursue
               careers in the world. My wife and daughter stand out as distinctly different from the other
               women, both old and young, who dress to appear sensual and alluring. We are called to be
               lights in the midst of darkness, and both my wife and daughter have had opportunities to
               encourage others to also choose a course that turns aside from the ways of the world. These
               things are truly amazing, and are a source of much satisfaction to me.
