Elizabeth Edwards Fights the Mommy Wars

Just read a fascinating piece called Elizabeth Edwards and the Mommy Wars, on Time's "Swampland" blog. A woman, writing on a blog, really attacked Elizabeth Edwards for spending her final days on the campaign trail instead of with her kids. I found myself thinking, "Good point, good point."

And then came Elizabeth Edwards' response. Phew! That lady's articulate and thoughtful. Everything I've read about John and Elizabeth Edwards indicates they are really good parents with a good family. Elizabeth's defense of herself gave some great insights into good parenting.

I like that lady.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
