God designed men to need and love to have hobbies. They need time to recharge and prepare for “slaying the dragons” all day at work like Dr. Laura likes to say.

"MY Man Doesn’t Deserve my Respect!!!!"
If this is how you feel about God’s concept of respecting your husband – YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! You know, probably just about every wife on the planet feels this way at some point in her marriage (or every day in some cases!) And it’s a legitimate statement that husbands don’t always deserve respect from […]

Lord, Thank You for the gift of this glorious day! Help us to be still before You and lift up our heads to see Your holiness, Your power, Your sovereignty over the universe. You alone are God! There is no other. You alone are worthy of our praise and worship. You are the King of […]

Being a Cheerful Receiver
Think about the people you know who are fun to give to. I have to give kudos to my 5 year old daughter’s teacher at school- she is one of the best gift-receivers I have ever seen! When someone gets excited about a gift she receives, it is FUN to give to that person. This […]

Lord, Thank You for this precious new year- a time of renewal and a time to think about our priorities and habits, our strengths and weaknesses. Lay our hearts open before Your Spirit.

Marriage Seminar "7 Basic Needs of a Wife and 7 Basic Needs of a Husband"
My husband and I began attending a class at our church tonight taught by one of my favorite Bible teachers, Harold Weaver. I wish this class went on for about 7 hours- it is so fascinating to me! But tonight we only got to the first need of a wife. I am paraphrasing, but it […]
