Be Vulnerable

It was our tenth year of marriage, and life had been rolling along pretty smoothly. Three kids, successful careers, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel financially, and yet....something was still not falling into place. We would replay the same trite arguments, re-visiting the same old monuments to past issues but never really... Continue Reading →

Sweat Everyday

You don’t need to be training for a marathon. Find some activity that you enjoy….okay, can tolerate and get moving! For the longest time, I had an internal conversation that started with “If I work out today…..” I have finally changed the words to, “when I work out today….” and it has caused a major...

Love the Lord your God

Deuteronomy 6:5   Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. I have to confess I haven’t figured this one out yet.

So….how’s your love life?

I can remember when I was single, dreading this question from family and friends. Obviously if you have to ask, it’s probably not great. When you’re in love, it shows. Simple as that. These days I have a different perspective of love life. How is your love of life? Are you living this life fully?... Continue Reading →
