Morning friends, It’s hard to believe that August is almost here. The older I get the faster time seems to go by. Do you remember as a kid how summer vacation seemed so long? Now it feels like a blink of an eye before winter will be here again. It makes the Scripture more real […]
How Do I Honor A Parent Who Is Abusive?
Morning friends, I just returned to the cooler weather of the mountains from hot, hot Phoenix. I’m so thankful for this break. Even our dog resisted her walks because of the hot sidewalks. Up here, she can run around and expend all her energy. I receive quite a few questions from readers who are struggling […]
Do I Have To Make Amends To My Abuser?
Morning friends, I am back in Phoenix for the week and boy oh boy is it hot. I forgot how hot it can get here. I can walk our dog for about 5 minutes and then we both are seeking shelter. She’s not used to it either. We both miss our long evening walks in […]
How Can I Implement Consequences When My Husband Is Abusive?
Morning friends, It’s been Nana camp again for this week in July. And it’s been fun. We’re going horseback riding tomorrow but the kids have been having a great time on our backyard zip line. What kid wouldn’t? It’s even fun for the adults, although I will spare you the adult version. Here’s the kids […]
Is Restitution A Part Of Repentance?
Morning friends, I hope you have something fun planned for July 4th. My 3 granddaughters are coming up for the weekend with their parents. We have installed a zip line and a slackline on our cabin’s property. One more thing we need – a big tire swing. Everything kids love to do. I’ve been practicing […]
How To Manage My Emotions After Disclosure Of Porn
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 […]
