He’s Ready To Get Help, Should I Move Home?
Morning friend, I had a great time at the American Association of Christian Counselors conference last week in Dallas. It was hard work and emotionally and physically draining but I sensed an openness and willingness to listen as I have not before.

I’m Broken and Lost. What Do I Do?

Living In The Truth When It’s Hard And Ugly
Morning friend, I’m angry as I answer this reader’s question.

Morning friend, My 92-year-old father just left. It was wonderful having him visit us here in Arizona. It reminds me of the legacy we leave to those who have watched us live our lives. My dad is not a perfect person, but he’s consistently lived out his godly values. My grandchildren, his great-grandchildren have gotten to know him better this…
When Your Old Beliefs Must Change to Grow
Morning friend, I’m back from my July break refreshed and recharged. I have a renewed sense of God’s desire for us as women, to help one another heal, grow, and thrive even in a scary uncertain world. It’s time to leave behind some of our old ways of thinking and being so that we can fully mature. Paul says when…

Work On You
Morning friend, Thank you for all your engagement regarding the stress of co-parenting. The problem is real and attempting to get the “other parent” to be different than he’s already shown you that he is can drive you crazy.
