I handed over the finances – Update!!
From my friend, Kayla, at www.lessonsofmercy.wordpress.com I promised when I started this blog that I was going to be real.

God and My Husband AMAZE Me!

We took a marriage class last winter by a man I have known and respected for 25 years. He spoke a lot about authority during our semester: God-given authority, spiritual authority and the needs of those leaders who are in authority over us. And I HOPE that one day I have the chance to take… Continue reading A Wife's Power in Marriage
Your Words Can Cause Catastrophic Damage!
Just as a general principle – DO NOT bash your husband to other people. EVER. Honor him with every word! He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in sharing his own opinions. Proverbs 17:27 A… Continue reading Your Words Can Cause Catastrophic Damage!
