Ever wonder why you’re still fighting? Wish there was something you could do about it? I talk to tons of people who are in relationships that have the same cycle – someone states an opinion, the other notes their opposing thoughts, the other person disagrees with that, then the other explains all their reasons why …

Rules or Relationship?
I remember it as though it occurred yesterday. Having lain unsleeping for two hours, tossing and turning, 4am roused me out of bed completely. I descended the stairs to the cold family room, pulled a blanket around me and started reading. It was early spring, so the resurrection called. I knew the story – Crucified, …
What Do You Do When Verbally Assaulted?
There are many things you can do when you are verbally assaulted, and if you have an angry man you are married to, or you have regular disagreements with people, you are probably wanting to know how to disagree with them without feeling like a doormat. Or maybe you are still wondering if you are …
Dare You to CHASE LIONS with Me Today…
Bet you didn’t even know this was in the Bible. This came from a free e-book entitled “In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day” by Mark Batterson. The book advertising says: “Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn’t chase. You will look back longingly …
Feel Taken for Granted?
My daughter explained to me the difficulty of auditioning for a lead in a musical yesterday. “It’s harder when you know the director.

The boy stretched his arms upward in expectation. “Carry me, Mommy,” he said. Instead of lifting him, the very pregnant woman squatted next to him and steadied her swollen body. “Oh, I wish I could, sweetie,” she said. “Mommy’s too pregnant to lift you for a while. How about we hold hands as we walk …
Got Pain?
Even the seed must die before it lives – it literally gets ripped in half and destroyed before life bursts forth. Trust Him in the now of your circumstances. The Christian walk is filled with death. Death to sin, to selfishness, to pride, to independence, to immaturity, to all the things we place before our …
Forgive Me… but I Have Sinned…
Wednesday, after blogging, I headed to the barn to ride. Here’s another confession for you: I’ve been riding horses for over 35 years, and I’ve never fallen off. I’ve come close a number of times, but have never been launched. All those years of watching the rodeo growing up must have taught me to hold …
Mature Christian Women…
Did you marry well? Or wish you had married someone else? That “can’t sleep – can’t eat – can’t think about anything but him” feeling disappears after 6 months to a year or three. That is normal. But… If you are wishing that the guy you married (you know, “Mr. Right” at the time) was …
Whose Side are You on Today?
I remember it as though it occurred yesterday. Having lain unsleeping for two hours, tossing and turning, 4am roused me out of the bed completely. I descended the stairs to the cold family room, pulled a blanket around me and started reading. It was early spring, so the resurrection called. I knew the story. What …
