I love this article. It somehow sums up how I feel about conservative viewpoints that uphold being a wife and stay-at-home motherhood as the only respectable role for Christian women.

The last paragraph sums it up quite nicely: "Whatever you do, lady reader—and however much or little money you make doing it—do it with all your heart, knowing that you receive your calling and identity from God, not from fellow Christians who play exegetical leapfrog with Scripture."
And I am encouraged by her reference to Colossians to support her viewpoint. Because it is removed from the passages of Timothy and Corinthians that are the ground zero of such a charged topic.
