As many of you know, my hubby Gary and I have wanted to get our house ready to put on the market for quite some time (we’re empty-nesters who desperately need to downsize). So I pulled away from “everything”—including blogging—for the month of June to get our house in shape for that big day that…

Being a Bossy-Pants Wife And WW Linkup
I find it amazing how every good gift that God gives can be taken and ruined—when given time and wrong motives—by us as humans. After all, a careful and wise use of control is what every good leader needs to wield! [Tweet “The trouble comes when you have two leaders fighting for control! #toomanychiefs”] Now…

Call it what it is—Adultery! And WW Linkup
I have a confession to make … I’m an adulterer. 😦 Sadly, I have sins in my life that have moved from a one time offense, to a habit, to a compulsion, to an addiction. I mentioned some of those in my last post that you can read here. In fact, we all need to…

How to Combat Envy and Discontentment And WW Linkup
Today I’m going to unpack one more “character flaw” (grab the Character flaw inventory here) to serve as our example—“my envious and discontented ways” in our “Plank Hunt” series. It’s an ugly job, but somebody’s got to do it! 😉 Sin Triggers Sometimes there’s not a wound that causes a trigger. Sometimes it’s simply a…

Plank Hunt – My Unforgiving Ways And WW Linkup
I’m excited to get back to the “Plank Hunt” series because it’s so important to realize the power we have to impact our marriage for the better by taking responsibility for our “planks” (see Mt. 7:3-5).

Are You ‘In Over Your Head’? Video
