Since I was a young child I’ve felt as if I’m asking the world to accept me and love me and choose me. Maybe you can relate. And I find myself translating this to my marriage…sometimes in a destructive way. Let me explain… When I’d ask my husband for something, and he’d say, “Maybe.” I’d […]
Affairs and marriage seem to continually be in the headlines, even pastors are not exempt. One would think if one is following God, and serving God, words like cheat and affair would never come up.

“My mom says things about my husband, and then, I go home and think about it and see it.” That’s what I heard her say. I was baffled and asked, “Why would you listen to that?” We find what we look for. Especially in our marriage. My husband has faults—everyone does. I don’t need anyone […]

Recently a friend told me this sweet story, and it blessed me so much I wanted to share it with you. These are his words, and this is a true story: One day my son Christopher and I were driving back from his last day of his freshman year of college. He was particularly animated […]
I’ve been getting mad at my husband lately. My feelings get hurt, and then, I get mad. It’s been from zero to one hundred in lightning speed. He’s returned to working in his office and hasn’t been working from home. Oh, how I enjoyed the time he was able to work from home, but it […]
