Morning friends, We are having amazing wonderful weather at our cabin in Pinetop. You’d never know that this was Arizona. It’s still about 80 degrees during the day and 55-60 degrees in the evening. Perfect. I feel bad for my friends still in pizza oven hot temperatures in Sun City West. If you have trouble […]
My Pastor Is Making The Situation Worse
Morning friends, Hope you have joined our Moving Beyond Challenge for this week. Today is Day Three, Moving beyond Unrealistic Expectations. The confusing part about our expectations is that often they are perfectly reasonable (at least to us). For example, it’s not unreasonable to expect our kids to listen to us, or our husband to […]
Am I Empathetic Or Enabling?
Morning friends, It’s a glorious day today at our cabin. We were in Phoenix over the weekend to bring our granddaughters home and it was pizza oven hot…..and draining. Drove back here yesterday and it is more pleasant. For those of you who are interested in the Southern Baptist Training curriculum that I’ve been working […]
Do I Have To Have Sex With My Husband?
Hi Friends, Wow, this has been a crazy week. We had an overwhelming response to our invitation for new CONQUER members. It only shows me that there are so many Christian women who are feeling stuck and afraid in destructive and abusive marriages. Second, I’ve been doing Grandma camp for the last two weeks, […]
Can I Have Good Boundaries And Still Be Compassionate?
Morning friends, I’ve made the transition. I’m now up in Pinetop, AZ for the summer months in our little cabin in the woods. My granddaughters are here for two weeks and we are enjoying the cooler weather. Hopefully, it will warm up too, but to 80 degrees and not to 100 degrees. Looking forward to […]

I’ve Emotionally Detached But How Are My Kids Going To See Me?
Morning friends, I am in Canada, Ancaster to be exact, and it’s freezing here. I’ve become a Phoenix girl and cold weather is something I just don’t like anymore. But it is beautiful. I’m here for a meeting and staying in a lovely inn and so it’s not all bad. I just wish it […]
Am I Wrong For Not Reconciling?
Morning friends, We’ve had a lively discussion on verbal abuse. It never ceases to surprise me how relevant God’s word is to today’s problems. We can’t ignore God’s principles for healthy relationships and expect to reap great connection and loving community, including marriage. Sadly destructive individuals somehow believe that if they say loving things, or […]
What is Verbal Abuse?
Morning friends, Thanks for your prayers. My body is healing from last week’s fall. My finger is still pretty stiff and swollen but each day I feel better. If you haven’t had a chance to check them out, I’d encourage you to head over to my Facebook professional page and start watching our short 3-5 […]
Whom Do I Tell & How Much Do I Share About My Marriage?
Morning friends, I had a bad fall today. I slipped on some rocks and fell on a large boulder. Thankfully landing on my rear end and hands and not my head. But it reminded me just how quickly things can change and how fragile our life is. The psalmist prayed, “Teach me to number my […]
