There is a new Maxwell!

[Justme]

Run, run for your life Liz! Don't let those Maxwell's strip that pretty smile from your face.

[kpmom]

Geez Liz and Dave are still there? How many sewing and art lessons are they giving?

[fundiefan]

Damn, those skirts are ugly. Shapeless, too, although I am sure that, at least, was their intent.

They're not very good advertising for the sewing industry.

[Deleted03]

My eyes! my eyes!!!!!!

fundiefan: they're actually good advertisement for professional sewing lol

[Letgo]

Men are going to be totally defrauded by Liz's ankle exposure. Her skirt hem is definitely higher than those of the Maxwell sisters. She must just be a Maxwell-in-training.

[luckylibrarian]

The length on Liz's skirt is terrible. It looks like it shrunk in the wash or someone measured incorrectly. Add in the socks and Mary Janes and she looks like a little girl when she's probably nearly thirty. Not a flattering look.

[fundiemomnot]

Steve's insistance that all the girls dress exactly like his wife is beyond disturbing. And why is this couple there all the time?

[latraviata]

Geez Liz and Dave are still there? How many sewing and art lessons are they giving?

Only one lesson:

Spread the (brown floral) fabric on the floor, go lie flat on the fabric and your girlfriend can cut the fabric around you.

That is the way to make the modest skirts and frumpers as shapeless as they should be.

[WonderingInWA]

Yes, Liz's skirt is completely defrauding. The fact you can see her ankle bones is sinful.

And as much as the fabric isn't totally hideous, is anyone but me seeing that the girls have chosen to wear brown with it? Spring skirt with brown sweaters? Uhhhhh?????

[luckylibrarian]

Wait...are Liz and Dave married? She looks like she's 12.

[flojo]

Wait...are Liz and Dave married? She looks like she's 12.

In some creepy pockets that's ok. Didn't what's his face Chapman express interest in Maranatha hen she was, like, 11?

Is that another sister or what some may call a friend?

>>>>>>

A friend

Nice snarky question here. Did one of you post it?

[fundiefan]

It was posted, and answered by the brilliant Steve.

He doesn't get anything, does he?

[Creaky Mom]

Those are some nasty skirts. Sarah's sweater is cute though.

[Constance Vigilance]

Merciful Zeus, those skirts are terrible.

I don't sew my own clothes because I am afraid they would end up looking like that.

[Markie]

What is so Godly about horrid coloured paisley? Why do so many people compliment them on the skirts and frumpers; can't they see how ugly they are, or do they really like them? Why don't the guys have to horrible paisley home-made shirts?

Because that would be too hippie-like. :roll:

[WonderingInWA]

And may lead to pot smoking.

[Creaky Mom]

And may lead to pot smoking.

And George might get a whiff of that.

And rescue Sarah.

Totally off topic, but John Maxwell and I share a birthday.... except I don't celebrate them because birthdays just suck. When I turned 21, I was drinking at the SAE and Phi Delt Houses for the evening- after going to Olive Garden with my Panhel Big Sorority SIster. Totally normal for 21. And I hadn't had any alcohol until that night.

I wonder what John did for his birthday? Make a Gingerbread House or read the Bible or hang out and play Bible games with the Maxwell clan. I bet it was super exciting. NOT!

No bible games for the Maxwells. They don't play games, remember? No fun for the Maxwells! No idols!

[uber frau]

For all their 'Bible Time' they just don't seem to understand Proverbs 31, do they?

And Bible Games are making something 'fun' out of something that should be sacred. No Bible Games for the Maxwells.

I forgot, no fun for the Maxwell clan. They probably had to pray and weep.

[fundiefan]

Definitely no games or fun for John. Praying and weeping, most likely. He is, after all, the kid that gave them 'trouble' when he was young. I'm sure he ate a second slice of pizza without asking Steve if it was OK or he fidgeted during the 3rd hour of time with the lord when he was 9, those trouble making little boys; I don't doubt that the offenses that labeled him the problem child for all their conferences were totally benign and normal for boys in any family other than the one Steve controls.

Knowing his past defiance and that Steve is the king of work and prayer, I can easily see John's 21st spent helping Anna cook his birthday dinner, chosen by Steve, and that was that because birthday or not, there is work to be done and time with the lord that must be done every.single.day.no.matter.what.because.that.is.what.perfect.godly.dads.do. They demand their family spend hours a day with the lord or they (dad) might lose their child's heart (here's a hint, Steve; you're kind of supposed to 'lose' your kid's heart as they grow up and choose to who to love and marry and what they love to DO. Raising a family is not about surrounding yourself with your own little robots who only know you and your choices.) End rant. Sorry. Can't help it. Steve Maxwell sets my blood to boil and makes me crazy.

[TMS]

The fun, err I mean, productive things Liz did with the Maxwells:

* Putting together a wood floor for Sarah and Anna’s desks

* Assembling Anna’s “new†desk

* Work

* Sewing (girls)

* Time in God’s Word

* Fellowship in the Lord

* Meal prep

* Exercise

* And more!

Could someone explain to me the difference with between "Fellowship in the Lord" and "Time in God's Word" is? Sounds like same-o, same-o. And, who wants to guess what "And more!" activities were? :-D
