Clearing the Air
“If you really loved me, you’d know what I was feeling.” “If I have to tell you what I’m thinking, I won’t do it.” Have you ever said things like that to each other? It’s not uncommon for hurting spouses to expect their mates to know exactly what they’re feeling and why. It’s also very unrealistic.... [Read more of this article]
Teaching Teens to Handle Money
Do you find yourself saying these words: Do you think money grows on trees? or What do you think I’m made of, money? When my kids hit middle-school age I felt like I was constantly shelling out money for the movies, Chick-fil-A, youth group activities, and new clothes. I wanted my kids to have all of this but what yanked my chain was they did... [Read more of this article]
Toe Touching
I moved my foot over to his side of the bed like I had done many times during the last twelve years, to gently touch his toe. That movement had brought with it a great sense of comfort all those nights when I needed to feel close to him but didn’t want to awaken my Don from the sleep his weak body so desperately needed. Toe touching was our way... [Read more of this article]
Covenant Eyes
I have made a covenant with my eyes. Job 31:1 The internet is a wonderful tool for ministry, education, networking and entertainment. But it also poses significant dangers.

Mrs. Klingon and Mr. Vulcan
My husband and I are as different as day and night. Everything from our personalities, thinking skills, likes and dislikes are completely different. Even so, we complement each other magnificently.

Easter Tree
Each year at Christmas, our family decorates a Jesse Tree. Every ornament on the tree is specially selected to help us trace God’s hand in redemptive history. The Christmas season culminates with ornaments to remind us of Christ’s birth. At Easter, we re-purpose this tree. Some of the ornaments remain the same, but the stories now build toward...

Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I want to encourage you with a bit of history. Valentine’s Day is not a celebration that started with a little naked boy with wings flying around with arrows shooting passion into the hearts of young people. No, the cupid you see on Valentine’s cards in stores everywhere has nothing to do with the real... [Read more of this article]
Valentine Dinner Party
Create drama and coziness for a Valentine dinner party this year. Pull in your wrought iron table from the deck (wooden or plastic will work well too). Position the table in the living room in front of the fireplace and drape with white sheets. I used three sheets to fully cover the table and cinched the sheets together at the bottom with a ribbon... [Read more of this article]
Family Valentine Dinner
Before we were married, I didn’t like Valentine’s Day all that much. It seemed like such a romantic thing, but if I didn’t have a date, I felt like I missed out. But then as a waitress I would watch couples come in, sit quietly, then look at anything except the person they came with. They wouldn’t talk to each other. They’d just sit...
