Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
When you are in an argument with your spouse, do you tend to move towards or away from your significant other? I was always the one ready to fight, and used my readiness as an advantage over my guy, who needed time to take stock. Given time, he could think things through and get down... Continue Reading →
When my kids were little, I felt like I lived on the floor of our living room. Looking back at video footage of Christmas mornings and birthday celebrations seem to confirm my memory because the entire time I seem to be at their level, assisting in present opening and sharing excitement over every little thing....

https://vimeo.com/181948374 I have friends named Chad & Heidi. They go to my church, and we have been close to them for about four years now. The day I met Heidi was the same day that I learned about how her life is different than most, because she is genuine and open. Honestly I didn't know how... Continue Reading →

For a long time, I thought that sex was a cat and mouse game played by husband and wife. I’m not sure where I got this idea, but it seemed to me that it was the man’s job to chase the woman around the kitchen, flirting and persisting, until the woman became worn down enough... Continue Reading →
Remember this movie? There was a lot of meat in the message of acceptance of others, but what I remember most was this scene, the way that Carol completely hears and listens to Simon. There is a difference, you know. She pulled the car off the road in order to absorb the words and the... Continue Reading →
