Noah – Blockbuster or Bible-buster?
I cannot recall doing a movie review on either of my blogs (yes, I had one before MM) in the 5 years I’ve been blogging. And I don’t like veering from content that’s specific to marriage, particularly “messy marriage,” but today I’m going to do that because entertainment and cultural views of the Bible are…

Pathway to Reconciliation
Today and in the weeks to come we’ll be delving into what should happen as we turn our efforts toward reconciliation. I’ll be addressing reconciliation from both the viewpoint of the offended and the offender (and yes, don’t exclude yourself from offender’s perspective! We’ve all been the offender in someone’s life at some point). Here…

Enter to win – That Works for Me
My life, as many of you know, has been side-swiped by cancer and all the baggage that comes along with that {diagnosed last October and doing well today, thank you!}. It’s not that cancer or cancer treatment is still consuming that much of my time {although it is on a much smaller scale}. It’s just…

Are You Your Husband’s Helper or Hindrance?

Waiting on Your Offender to Repent?
Oh my! Today I’m tackling a tough one, people! Myth #6 – If I forgive, my offender must recognize his/her wrong against me, or it’s invalid or not “total forgiveness.” There’s a line of thought, especially in some Christian circles, that believes forgiveness is … “A commitment by the offended to pardon graciously the repentant…

Fear the Impact of Others?
Isaiah 46:4-5 and 9 (hover over to view verses) Thoughts taken from my devotional time. Today I want to look at another concern that we get caught up in life and in marriage … the fear that others can thwart God’s good purposes in our lives. There are so many people in our lives {and…

Does Forgiveness Forfeit Protection?
Today we’re addressing another myth of forgiveness … If I forgive, I lay down any right to protect myself. Just like the myth before it, “If I forgive, I’m letting my offender off the hook of responsibility” – there’s both truth and myth in this belief. The myth The idea that if I forgive, I’m…

Running from God?
Isaiah 46:3-4 (hover over to view verses) Thoughts taken from my devotional time. God reminds us that He has upheld us since we were conceived (v.3). That means that God knew us and cared for us since the moment we were created or came into being—not just since our birth. Further, God reminds us that…

Letters that Need to be Written
For eleven years, since 2003, I’ve written individual letters to my sons and husband. Often the letters chronicled what happened throughout the past year along with some words of encouragement and love from me to each of them. I don’t really know how much these letters mean to my family, especially my sons. I think…
