Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I wrote this one year ago, and it seems appropriate this time of year, whether your baby is entering college, the mission field, high school, the military, kindergarten or independence described another way. Our daughter left for college last week. We drove her to her dorm, unloaded a years’ supply of snacks and dorm supplies... Continue Reading →
My guy and I head up the Couples Ministry at our church. We get to spend time with couples who are getting married, doing the premarital counseling for the pastor, and with other couples who may be struggling to find happiness and fulfillment together.

Many years ago, when we were in our third or fourth year of marriage, I learned a big lesson regarding talking about my guy. I had been at work and gone out to lunch with a friend and on the way back to the office, I called our home answering machine to check our messages.... Continue Reading →
I love this picture. Yes, it's not great quality, too bright, taken through a glass door and you can't really make out the people in it. But my heart can. You see, our youngest has had a tough year. She's at the age where life is harder than ever before; choices are more important with... Continue Reading →
What would you do if you learned that your spouse needed something from you that you weren't currently giving them? Would you try everything in your power to accommodate them? I like to think that I would. During a Marriage Oneness study recently, I learned that my guy has a second love language that he’s... Continue Reading →
