I had to re-blog this. A call to intentional living, even in your dating life.
Be Different
“You’re not from around here. Where are you from?” Not my favorite question. How do you answer when you have lived in nine states, moving a total of 18 times? Do you give the whole list of places lived, only tell the latest one, or maybe the longest you stayed? Regions of the country? I... Continue Reading →
Track Your Lovelife
Improving your love life is an intentional exercise; it’s not something that just happens to you. It can be very easy to let time go by without regard to how we are spending it. I knew this was true for me, and I didn’t know how to determine if I was improving my lovelife, so... Continue Reading →

The news shows total devastation in and around New Orleans, receiving more than two feet of water from 36 hours of constant rain and powerful winds.

Remember
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from. Psalm 103:12 We are on vacation this week, returning to an area of the country that we have not lived in for twenty years. In the past three days we have visited four close friends from the past,...

Narnia
This is a pot that my friend Pete made. It says, ” My hearts desire is to be less Ward and June and more Narnia”. I love this pot for several reasons: because it was created by a dear friend whom I respect greatly, because it reminds me of the need for more magic,... Continue Reading →
