Don’t you just love this verse? Current application for me: V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N We are immersing ourselves in white sugary beaches and tantalizing blue water. (View from our balcony) Rest for a while, he says. Vacations of my past were filled with the stress and anxiety of addiction, migraine headaches and seizures. Especially at the beach. The glaring sun and blistering heat set up perfect conditions. Those vacations were anything but restful—only stressful and guilt-ridden. My family suffered the consequences of my {Read More}

David and I have been in Chicago this week at a training seminar for a home health care franchise we are purchasing in South Carolina. My brain is drained and we’ve had very little sleep. As I was in the seminar this morning, I was thinking, “When am I going to get my blog post done for tomorrow?” (You know the perfectionist in me can’t leave you without a {tips to a happier you} post for Saturday). As we were looking {Read More}

Okay my friends; I’m taking the advice of Matthew here… I leave for the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer’s Conference on Sunday.

Mary and Joseph had some hard times to endure when she was pregnant. Here she was, probably 15 years old, betrothed to be married, and found out she was pregnant.

An angel spoke to Joseph in a dream, and confirmed that Mary was indeed still a virgin. {Read More}
The Trulywed Game~Episode Five: Languages of Love
11 October, 2011 by 2 Comments
Well throughout this sermon series on marriage, I’ve squirmed in my seat, been lovingly “nudged” by my hubby, and turned red in the face. Hopefully Perry won’t step on my toes quite so much during the next series! This post concludes “The Trulywed Game” as we discuss the Languages of Love. Perry’s words are in blue, my added thoughts in black…and here’s the link if you’d like to watch the sermon (and the conclusion of “The Trulywed Game” itself) ~ {Read More}
