You can view my full disclosure policy here. Marriage is tough. If you disagree, I'd like to know your secret, because everything I've experienced and seen and read says it's hard. They just don't tell us that before we get married. Or if they do, we're all so blinded by love that we think it could never be difficult for us, because we're different. We're special. After…

A Little Bit of Happy Mail

A little bit of happy mail goes a long way. At least in my book. Nothing beats having a handwritten card or a box in the mailbox.  (Even better is a box that doesn't fit in the mailbox, but I'll take what I can get!)  That's why I'm all about subscription boxes.  We don't usually subscribe to any, because we are trying to limit our expenditures.  But when we are able…

Take a moment to imagine the perfect Christian.  If you've read the Bible, maybe you picture the Proverbs 31 woman.  Or the man described in the book of Titus.  Whether or not you know what the Bible says about how Christians should act, what do you think of?

Scripture Sunday: How Can We Pray for You?

This Sunday, we'd like to encourage you to share your prayer requests, that we might be able to keep you in our prayers. Did you know that the Bible instructs us to pray for each other?  To intercede on behalf of those we love as well as those we may not even like?  1 Timothy 2:1 says, "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." Not only are we told to speak on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Christ, but for all people.…
