I (Sal) took a Women Studies' (w/Professor Mimi Frenier) Gender Issues class my senior year in college, which opened my eyes to a different perspective I never realy took a look at. Below are some resources as of 3/25/04....
We covered the role of Women in the Bible during this class, which there was some "negative". However, I found some "positive" outlooks a while later...
"The Bible gives many examples of people who prayed for children. The Lord must be pleased when a woman wants to be a mother, when she wants a godly boy or girl to bless and comfort the home and to be a soul winner."
"Hebrew: Miriam.
Mary was the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus Christ, who was conceived within her by the Holy Spirit when she was a virgin. She is often called the �Virgin Mary,� though never in Scripture are those two words put together as a proper name (Matt. 2:11; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27; Acts 1:14).
Today (Sunday, May 13th of 2007) is mother's day-yeah! Did you send a gift to your mom yet? If it's already past, you can do it today, tomorrow, everyday! We should celebrate it all year-round!
I was scheduled to lead a children's group this morning called "Super Church" and we have a calender of topics to lead the group one. Well, this morning when I woke up, I remembered it is "Mother's Day", which God reminded me of the verse on "mother's womb" (Pslam 139). I ended up searching some verses (about.com list down below) on the internet this morning prior to going to church...
""So Jesus said, 'When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [the one I claim to be] and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me'" (John 8:28). Therefore, Jesus' ministry was totally in the Father's hand and will and no one, including Mary the mother of Jesus, had any role in His ministry other than one of His followers. "
Children made "Mother's Day" cards with pictures (drew a picture of their favorite activity with their mom), Bible Verse (Proverbs 28:31), and their own creative works at Morris Community Church (h.g. cafeteria)
During the 30-45 minutes, I was going to focus on the "Mother's Day" theme since they had open shares during service. I asked if they had any plans for Mother's Day-a couple planned on going fishing. I then shared Pslam 31:28. Then we acted upon it by sharing how we are blessed by our mom's and what is our favorite activity we do with our mom? I had the children take turns individually sharing. After sharing for 30 minutes, they quickly drew what they share on Mother's Day cards that they will be giving to their mom and I encourage them to read the Bible verse we read and wrote on the card.
Honoring Mothers - Bluefish TV
"This heartwarming clip is a tribute to mothers everywhere, illustrating the many acts of love and sacrifices a woman makes for her family. http://www.bluefishtv.com/videos"
"A mother's touch � the difference a mom makes.
Writing to the Thessalonians about his commitment to lead them with both lessons and life, Paul describes his posture as being "like a mother caring for her little children." In 1 Thessalonians 2:7, he gave his followers an example that wove words with love, truth with touch."
"Proverbs 23:22-25 ESV Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. (23) Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. (24) The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. (25) Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice."
A Collection of Bible Verses for Women
Bless your loving mother or godly wife this Mother's Day with one of these Bible verses for Mom.
Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God will give you. (NLT)
Psalm 139:13
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. (NLT)
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. (NASB)
Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (NIV)
"A mother's work is never done--until she takes the day off. This comic clip has a message. You?ll never take Mom for granted again. "
For me, my favorite activity with my mom growing-up was going shopping in downtown St. Paul. She would take my siblings and I on the city bus. It was actually an adventurous time for me as a little kid. My favorite store I always look forward to going was "Schinders" to
buy baseball cards. As a grown-up, I still enjoying going shopping with her as this has been a quality-time for me with her whenever I visit my family at least once a month.

This morning (Sunday, May 10th of 2009) at church, I was inspired to add more to this after a great-time of worship. The worship leader (Johanna N.) shared about the "Shepherd" (Jesus) going after that 1 leaving the 99 sheeps.
*see GoodnewsEverybody.com Life: Backslidden-Parable of the Lost Son
I just felt the "nudge" to emphasize this great Biblical story using my own life experience. I shared about a time back in Junior High School when I got in trouble-serious enough to be sent to the Principal's office and was sent home after being suspended from school for the rest of the day. I actually came home worried about what my parents was going to do. I came home "crying" to my mom and was greeted with an "unexpected" hug. I was actually expecting to get scolded. I look back at this and just thankful to my mom for her grace, which I see "God's love" through this-similar to the Parable of the Lost Son/Sheep. I was trying to encourage the folks at church present that we all make mistakes and what we do (aftermath) is what really matters. When my Principal suspended me from school, I could've went somewhere (e.g. hide in some nearby "hangout" that many of my peers went- to smoke, do drugs, etc...) besides "home"-gotten myself more in trouble! This is what our Heavenly Father wants us to do-come with a repentent heart towards Him or "back in His arms again"! What I didn't share is that I haven't done this more than I should. I've made many mistakes and didn't go back to His arms and dug a deeper pit or hole. PLEASE DON'T DO what I did and "run" to GOD! My Heavenly Father loves you more than what you think.
Also during my share, I talked about how we all need to be thankful to our "moms". During "Sunday School", I asked the kids what are they most thankful to their mom (a little different from the similar activity 2 years ago-see above). Some shared about their mom's "great" cooking (I love my Mom's Filipino food, which I appreciated more when I left home for college). With graduations coming-up, many graduates will be thanking their mom, which we need to do more than just once a year-everyday! I appreciate what my mom has done for me as I get older as I realize more what moms do (e.g. take care of children, house work, etc...) through babysitting or observing other moms. Also, meeting other people and realize how blessed I am. I shared in front of the congregation that I became more grateful after having friends, who would share about their stories of being adopted. I might not have the "perfect" family, but I'm thankful and love them!
Q: What are you appreciative (e.g. cooking-favorite dish, activity, characteristic, etc…) most about your mom or someone who has been a “mom” to you in your life?
"Maintain your prepregnancy level of fitness
In the early stages of pregnancy, some women can continue their prepregnancy exercise routines (including running, aerobics, biking, roller-skating, skiing, weight lifting, or other physically strenuous activities). Some women, however, find it necessary to take it easy during the first weeks of pregnancy but can return to their usual exercise after their morning sickness or extreme fatigue subsides.
"God has truly remained faithful to me and my family over these years, and He will continue to guide us to the end of the journey. Yet there's still a degree of sadness in my heart. I've given my children the best of everything I could at home, school and church. But I can never give them solid tools for loving and for resolving conflict that come from two parents committed to keeping their home together. To try to mend the torn places in a child from a divorced home is similar to patching a torn piece of fabric: It can be repaired, but it will never be like new."

"There are un-Biblical legends that Adam had a wife before Eve who was named Lilith. The legends vary significantly, but they all essentially agree that Lilith left Adam because she did not want to submit to him. According to the legends, Lilith was an evil, wicked woman who committed adultery with Satan and produced a race of evil creatures. None of this is true. There is no Biblical basis whatsoever for these concepts. There is no one in the Bible named Lilith. Mysteries of the Garden of Eve, from History channel Wikipedia
Etymology "
Hebrew לילית Lilit, Akkadian Līlītu are female nisba adjectives from the Proto-Semitic root LYL "night", literally translating to nocturnal "female night being/demon", although cuneiform inscriptions where Līlīt and Līlītu refers to disease-bearing wind spirits exist.[2][3]
Another possibility is association not with "night" but with "wind", i.e. identification of Akkadian Lil-itu as a loan from Sumerian lil "air".[2], specifically from Sumerian NIN.LIL "lady air", goddess of the South wind and wife of Enlil.
The Akkadian masculine līlû shows no nisba suffix and has been compared to Sumerian (kiskil-) lilla.[citation needed]

Breast Cysts
By Pam Stephan, About.com
Updated: June 2, 2008
"What Are Breast Cysts?:
Cysts are one of the findings that can be seen on your mammogram. Cysts are benign fluid-filled masses that can appear in your breast tissue. They can appear alone or in groups, and are very commonly detected by mammography. Cysts are not usually associated with breast cancer.
What Happens Next, If You Have Dense Masses?:
If your radiologist finds a dense mass on your mammogram, and thinks it may be a cyst, the next step is to perform an ultrasound on it. An ultrasound sends sound waves through breast tissue, which will pass through a fluid-filled cyst. Solid masses will reflect sound waves, and will make a different image on the ultrasound than will a cyst.
What Causes Breast Cysts?:
During your regular menstrual cycle, your breast produces and absorbs fluid in response to hormonal changes. Excess estrogen may stimulate the breast to make more fluid than is adsorbed and subsequently this fluid may collect in small sacs or cysts. Many of us have small cysts without realizing it, or without being bothered by any pain or bumpiness. A cyst usually doesn’t require any treatment, but can be drained if it is uncomfortable.
When Do Cysts Appear?:
Cysts are most common in women who are 35 to 50 years old and are perimenopausal. If you’re taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) you may also experience breast cysts.
"Elizabeth Smith, MD's Experience about Eliminating Breast Cysts
I initially read John Lee, MD's book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause with skepticism, yet with great hope because what he said finally made sense to me. In my clinical practice, in my experience and opinion, we now have a greater than 90 % success rate with breast cysts. In 1999, I started to tentatively treat my fibrocystic breast disease patients with Natural Progesterone. Most patients got rid of their breast cysts in 3-6 months. However, some patients actually got worse. These non-responders had actually taken Progesterone creams that contained estrogens, and also had intakes of artificial chemical estrogens in their daily lives. Once these free and happy chemical artificial estrogens were eliminated from their life, our success rate went up again. But once again, we had several non-responders in this group. This second group of non-responders had conflicts or fights with other women, this led to increased anxiety and fear. The increased anxiety and fear led to increased cell membrane rigidity, and decreased excretion of chemical estrogens resulting in fibrocystic breast disease. I am proud to say that with the thousand or so patients that I have treated fibrocystic breast disease patients with this multi-disciplinary approach, my feeling is that our success rate for breast cysts has been over 90% (although I have no hard numbers). We counsel to take Natural Progesterone, avoid chemical estrogens (xenoestrogens), and repair relationships with the other females that you are in a fight with (or at least forgive them). [This is not a recommendation for your particular case, this is merely an observation.] ...
"If your breast examination has revealed a lump that seems like a cyst (a fluid-filled sac), a breast sonogram could be done to be sure that the lump looks like either a simple cyst or benign fibroglandular tissue. If so, these are highly likely to be benign (noncancerous) nodules. Typically, breast lumps that represent cancer are very firm, not particularly mobile, and not particularly painful. Since the formation of breast cysts may be somewhat tied to menstrual cycles, it may make sense to have your sonogram done soon after a menstrual period rather than mid-cycle. If your workup confirms that your breast nodules appear benign, then the nodules themselves are not dangerous and you and your doctor can follow them over time.
Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment for fibrocystic changes. The related pain can be treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol), but while some limited data suggest that some women get relief with primrose oil use, there are no data for other interventions.

lowertestosteroneWomen Can Lower Testosterone Levels Naturally with the Right Dietary Choices "Q: I did a blood spot hormone profile and my testosterone came out high. I’m in my mid-30s and have ovarian cysts and pimples on my face. My doctor tells me this is because of the high testosterone, but he can’t tell me how to lower it. Do you have any suggestions?
.
A: It's fairly simple, but not necessarily easy, for most women to lower their testosterone. All they have to do is eat a lot less sugar and refined carbohydrates!...
The reason this works is that excess sugar and refined carbs cause high blood sugar, which in turn causes high insulin, which stimulates the ovaries to make androgens (male hormones). Get the blood sugar and insulin under control and testosterone generally goes down. Adding moderate exercise will help even more. Artificial sweeteners do not work because the sweet taste seems to stimulate insulin production....

North Country (2005, trailer)
North Country (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "..is a 2005 American drama film directed by Niki Caro. The screenplay by Michael Seitzman was inspired by the 2002 book Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law by Clara Bingham and Laura Leedy Gansler, which chronicled the case of Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Company... Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines a.k.a. Jenson v. Eveleth Mines, Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite, from
sexualharassmentsupport.org "
Affirmative action came to the Iron Range in
1974 when the U.S. government forced steel
companies to hand over 20% of their jobs to
women and minorities. The following year, a
petite and feminine, single mother on welfare
named Lois Jenson was hired as one of the
first female workers in the Eveleth iron mine in
northern Minnesota. She worked grueling
hours cleaning soot from huge grinding
machines, and, along with her fellow female
coworkers, endured brutal sexual and gender
harassment from the men who believed
women should remain at home and not
compete with men for scarce jobs. (Lois was
also stalked by one of her supervisors.)
At first, terrified of being fired, the women
remained quiet. Ultimately the harassment
became intolerable, forcing them to complain;
however, the company did nothing.
In 1993, a retired judge was named
special master to oversee a trial to
assess the amount of money the women
should be paid in damages. He had "old
school" beliefs and a past history of
sexual harassment. Eveleth Mines' lead
counsel during this phase was a woman,
and she planned a "nuts and sluts"
defense to minimize the amount of
damages awarded to each plaintiff. Her
strategy involved proving that the women
either caused the harassment by their
own behavior towards their male
coworkers, or were lying about the
severity and the psychological effects.
The judge permitted Eveleth's lawyers to
obtain the women's medical histories
from birth, and before the trial, the
plaintiffs endured close to 80 days of
brutal depositions that explored their past
personal and sexual lives in great detail,
regardless of relevance. Said one
plaintiff, "I felt I was raped on the stand."
Eveleth Iron Mines in Minnesota
The trial commenced in 1995. According to Sprenger, throughout testimony about the
savage sexual harassment that occurred at the mine, the judge frequently fell asleep;
when awake, he seemed to enjoy hearing about the women's ordeal. After the trial, the
judge expressed much skepticism in his 1996 report, calling the women "histrionic."
In the end, he awarded each of them only an average of $10,000. (Soon after the trial,
the judge was arrested for shoplifting.) However, the judgement was reversed in
December 1997 by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. This time, a jury trial was
ordered.
Lois ultimately prevailed after the plaintiffs were awarded $30 million dollars in a
mock trial. In 1998, on the eve of the actual jury trial, the women settled with Eveleth for
a total of $3.5 million dollars. Overall, Lois and the other women went through three
humiliating trials where their character and personal lives were assaulted over and
over again by Eveleth’s lawyers. In addition, they endured the torturous process of
litigation, and further torment of working class citizens by the civilized venue of the
federal court system. Judge Donald Lay wrote,
"It should be obvious that the callous pattern and practice of sexual
harassment engaged in by Eveleth Mines inevitably destroyed the self-esteem
of the working women exposed to it. The emotional harm, brought about by this
record of human indecency, sought to destroy the human psyche as well as the
human spirit of each plaintiff. The humiliation and degradation suffered by
these women is irreparable. Although money damage cannot make these
women whole or even begin to repair the injury done, it can serve to set a
precedent that in the environment of the working place such hostility will not be
tolerated."
Throughout the process, Eveleth paid more than 15 millions dollars in legal fees and
settlements. All of this could have been avoided simply if they had been willing to
implement a sexual harassment policy. Instead, Jenson vs. Eveleth Mines became
the first sexual harassment class action lawsuit in America, and changed the legal
system as well as lives of the women who fought the war. (50, 51, 52, 54)"

Clarence Thomas controversy
Main article: Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination
In 1981, Hill became an attorney-adviser to Clarence Thomas at the U.S. Department of Education (ED). When Thomas became Chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Hill went to the EEOC with Thomas and his then-secretary, Diane Holt, to serve as his special assistant. Hill alleges that it was during these two periods (i.e., during her employment at ED and EEOC) that Thomas made sexually provocative statements.
Although Hill was a career employee (Schedule A) and therefore had the option of remaining at the Department of Education, she testified that she followed Thomas because, "[t]he work, itself, was interesting, and at that time, it appeared that the sexual overtures . . . had ended."[2] Also, she testified that she wanted to work in the civil-rights field, and that she believed that "at that time the Department of Education, itself, was a dubious venture."[2]
On October 11, 1991, Hill was called to testify during the Senate confirmation hearing of then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Hill's allegations against Thomas were made public when information from an FBI interview about the allegations was leaked to the media days before the final Senate vote on his appointment. Thomas was nominated by then-President George H. W. Bush to replace the retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall.

On June 3, a newly converted Christian couple was arrested by police for holding Bible studies with Muslims in their home and attending a house church, according to a June 25 report from Compass Direct. Makan Arya (31) and Tina Rad (28) were seized from their home in east Tehran after one of Makan's relatives informed security police of the couple's Christian activities. Their four-year-old daughter was left behind, ill and unattended. The couple was taken to an unknown jail where they were severely beaten and interrogated for four days. Makan was accused of "activities against national security" and Tina of "activities against the holy religion of Islam." The authorities threatened to take their daughter away to a religious institution and warned them that they could be imprisoned on charges of apostasy or fabricated drug charges if they didn't stop their Christian work.
Eventually the couple was pressured into signing a statement claiming they had not changed their religion from Islam and promising that they would stay away from their house church and other Christians. After a court hearing, Makan was freed on bail charges of $20,000 (CAD) and Tina upon payment of $30,000 (CAD). The couple returned home to find that the window of their shop had been smashed by local Muslims. On June 23, Makan received a letter threatening him with continued attacks if he did not put up evidence of his Islamic faith on the front of his shop, to which he responded by hanging pictures of Muslim leaders on his window.
Ask God to strengthen the hearts of these believers to proclaim His Name without hesitation or fear (2 Timothy 1:5). Pray for healing, especially for Tina who currently cannot walk as a result of her mistreatment in detention. "
