I have to admit, I struggle with anger often……I can feel it rise up in me sometimes and it can be scary and funny.  It makes me want to have a Jerry McGuire moment and freak out on everyone around me and make a scene.  The source is usually my kids acting up, but it makes me feel like a ticking time bomb.  I’ve done quick studies in the bible about anger and verses like Ephesians 4:26 “In Your...

I was going to find an awesome intellectual definition of Accountability and possibly a flow chart.  But this comic is much better.  Why do we avoid accountability so much?  Why is it such a rare thing?  Is it the person needing to be held accountable?  Do they really not want to be called on their junk? Or is the one holding the person accountable?  Do they not want to “butt in”?  Do they...

It is a fair question to all of us.  Has Porn invaded your life?  My quick answer would no.  I have never seen porn…..I mean I have had an image come up on the screen.  When the “internet” was new, I remember people talking about hotmail…..so I went to a computer in the high school library and typed in “HOTMALE”  ooooppppppsss.  I guess there were not filters back then.  But that has been the...

Yes, you read the title right.  What does God have to do with sex?  Or the Holy with the...um…....Humping?  EVERYTHING!.  God not only invented it, but He called it good!  Having a healthy sex life within a marriage is what he CALLS us to! (Can you hear my husband cheering from the other room?  Wait, you can't hear it over your own husbands' cheering?) Did you miss that verse in the bible?...

I don’t know if you have noticed that the blogs have a theme or new flow...but they do.  We are trying something new and we are given a topic to write about for each blog.  At first I thought I would hate it…but I am enjoying having topics pitched to me.  So here was my question for this month:

“How have you encouraged/guided your husband sexually?”

Not going to lie, I giggled like a sixth...

I hated to run when I was younger.  There was nothing more torturous than running in gym class.  I didn’t like to sweat or get my hair messed up!  In Jr. High, I did track and I quickly learned that I did not have endurance.  I was a sprinter--and not a good or fast one.  I am guessing there was probably a boy that did track and I liked something about the uniforms.

Fast forward many...

I was out for a run one day and asking God what He wanted to say to me....what had I been to busy to listen to?  I really tried to quiet myself before Him and just listen.  My head started to fill with all that was wrong in my life and all the suffering I had been through.......so much for listening!  I knew He was prompting me to dig into Him and to start praising Him no matter what road I...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:
 2 a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to...

I feel like I get bad news a lot…..Due to my divorce we have been in the court system since 2007, almost weekly I get letters from the court or my lawyer.  It is usually another court date or a bill.  YUCK.  This month our van and the fridge died and we had more court dates.  The outcomes of those were not good.  Bad News.  I find myself always waiting for bad news, sort of waiting for...

Have you ever felt that boiling anger?  It sits there below the surface and you feel like you can blow at any moment and sometimes do.  Someone is going to get it…..your husband?  Your kids? Friends?  The drive thru person at Starbucks that gets your order wrong….

What if it is justified anger?  Your husband has cheated.  You catch him looking at porn for the 200th time.  What do we do with...
