It’s Coming
There is a place that we can find a sure promise. It isn't in the weather forecast. The news of the day. What the politicians promote.
The Path of Life
Our Lord promises to show us the path of life. I've trusted in that promise for a long time. I am grateful I'll see Dick again one day on the other side. What about you? Do you know your eternal destination?
Remembering
This day, eleven years ago now, on a Friday in January, I experienced loss. I knew I would be a different person. A person who knows sorrow. A person who knows joy. A person who knows comfort.
Take the Time
Take some time today, to reflect on your losses...
Cherish Each Moment
We’ve learned from our own losses how quickly things can change. How like a flash that sometimes taken-for-granted clutch of the other’s hand, the warm hug, snuggles in bed at night can vanish.

I wish you a blessed, thoughtful Christmas. You may not feel merry, but hopeful for the healing that will come. I promise it will come.
One Week From Today
This Christmas season, I challenge you to read carefully some of the less-heard Christmas carols. I believe you may be encouraged by their words. Without this special season, we would not know the hope the Christ-child-Savior brings to us.
We Have An Amazing God!
Today, as I reflect back on the past seven years, I am amazed! God is good. God is faithful. We are blessed!

I hope these ideas will encourage you to incorporate some of these ideas into your marriage. It doesn't matter whether you've been married seven months or seven years, like us. Or even fifty-plus for some of you. All of these photos were taken after 2013. I enjoyed looking at those special days--even though some were pretty average days, we made them special!
New Year’s Resolutions–And a Charmed Marriage
What is your morning routine? Do you read the newspaper, listen to the news, or social media before going to God? Perhaps like me, you've gotten things in the wrong order.
Uncertain Times
Enjoy the day after Thanksgiving. Feast again on the left-overs from yesterday's Thanksgiving meal. Put up your decorations for Christmas if that is your custom. And give thanks. The eternal battle is won!
Promises For Sarah and You
This is to let those who are in deep grief, that the stark sadness will pass, although there is work in getting through grief.
Charmed Marriage – Part Three
Some of you reading this are either widowed or divorced or never married. You can apply this to your roommate, other household members, or even where you work.
A Charmed Marriage, Part Two
It's freeing to be able to communicate honestly with your marriage partner. We believe God intended for marriage to be as close to perfection as it can be on earth. I pray these tips will benefit your marriage, or close relationships.
Home is Best!
It was a great trip. We enjoyed the warm sun one last time before the gray clouds and rainy winter that is ahead of us. We had our travel itch resolved and chased the sun on our flight back west. We were home. And though I love to travel, home is best.
A Charmed Marriage
We often say we are standing on the shoulders of our previous mates. Our previous marriages have benefitted this marriage.
First Things First
I was helped by turning to God's word instead of man's word and I was encouraged! I'm still concerned how this election turns out. We still must pray and I will. Will you join me? And please, take the time to vote and be informed.
