Mommy, please slow down. My little legs can’t keep up with you. I know I’m little now, but one day I will be a grown man with my own family. Please don’t drag me around at your pace. One day I too will be leading my family, and if I am being dragged around by […]
Fear had its clutches on me. I tried to deny it. I tried to ignore it. I tried to twist it, reshape it, negotiate with it…but it wasn’t working. I was captured by fear. Weeks out from our youngest sons—and last to leave—departure for college was consuming my thoughts, leaving me with unrelenting fear. Our […]
I could hear the angst in her voice. “Mom, we have a dilemma. We are not sure what to do.” I listened to her talk with all the angles around a serious decision she and her husband needed to make. I asked the question I always ask, “What does your husband think?” He, being a […]
This week you’re in for a treat. This is another guest blog post written by my husband, Mike Williams. Mike has been the children’s pastor at Shepherd Church for over 13 years.

We love our spouse but when we want something, and they want something else, it can be a recipe for conflict. Conflict resolution, and healthy communication will either strengthen your marriage or damage it. Which would you […]
I was sitting in a bagel store—in Texas—munching on my pumpernickel bagel with garden veggie shmear. Why don’t they call it cream cheese in Texas? So confusing, just call it cream cheese. That’s what it is! Shmear, who thought of that? I feel like an idiot just saying it. Shmear…I’ll have a bagel with shmear. […]
If I’m being 100% honest, sometimes—okay often—I just plain want my husband to do WHAT I WANT. I get something in my head and I want things to play out just as I’ve got it imagined in my fairytale world. And of course, I have a story to go with this theme. I was looking […]
“He hasn’t touched me in weeeeekkks!” she said with undeniable pain in her eyes, “I think he’s cheating.” WHY? Why do women do this? Why is the first jump straight to infidelity anytime our man comes home late or has a libido dip? I asked her, “Why do you feel this way?” Very convinced of […]
