Don’t Pack Your Fears
Hello Friends, It feels good to be sitting down to write again. The last time I wrote in this space, I was preparing to leave on sabbatical to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain on a pilgrimage. My backpack was spread across the guest room bed, packing cubes scattered everywhere, and my mind was busy trying to think of…
Choosing Health When Courage Feels Small and Backlash Feels Big
Happy New Year, friends! Every January carries a subtle invitation to begin again, though not always in the bright, fresh-start way we may imagine. For me, it feels like winter has only just begun. The days are still short, the landscape mostly grey, and there’s a long stretch ahead before warmth or bloom returns. As I step into this new…
Navigating the Decision to Divorce in a Christian Marriage
Morning friend, We had an amazing turn out for our webinar, Is He Really Changing or Just Pretending? I hope you downloaded your workbook and have been thinking about the questions I provided to help you discern change from pretense. We opened our doors to CONQUER, and they will remain open until Friday, October 17. If CONQUER is something you’ve…
I Want To Change But I Don’t Know How
Morning friend, I’d love to give you all a challenge for the month of March. There are 31 days in March and 31 chapters in Proverbs. If you are lacking wisdom or struggling with toxic and destructive people, you will gain a wealth of wisdom from this book. Each day read one chapter. Read it out loud to yourself. Pray and ask…
Rewriting A Bad Story
Morning friend, We spent the weekend in Pinetop, our summer cabin home. It was a beautiful weekend. Blue sunny skies. Cool breezes. But being away all winter does tell a story. The mice found refuge in our cabin on cold winter days and nights. I went to put on my slippers and found mouse droppings in the toes of my…
I’m Afraid Of Rejection
Morning friends, I just returned from Chicago where I had a great visit with my parents, siblings and spouses. I’m so grateful I still get to have these wonderful weekends with my family. It’s a tradition my dad and step-mom started years ago. Instead of buying us gifts, they gift us with a dinner out and going together to a…
Battling For Peace With An Abusive Ex [Guest Post]
Morning friends, I am on a much-needed vacation. I’ve invited Angela Strong, a Christian novelist to share her story about finding peace in the midst of the war with her spouse. I think you will find her story helpful and encouraging. Though my first husband left me almost a decade ago, having kids together means I have to continue…
I’m Afraid To Be Honest, But Other Than That, We Have An Amazing Marriage
Morning friend, Thanks for your prayers. I need and appreciate them. Still trying to figure out what I need to eliminate in order to create more balance in my life. I love how you care for one another so tenderly. Even though I don’t always comment, I read almost every comment posted. Today’s Question: My husband has anger issues. He…
Don’t Leave Home Without It, Part I
Morning Friends, Thank you all for alerting me to the problem still infecting my website. I’m so sorry for the foul pop-ups you saw. After the CONQUER CONFERENCE, we discovered that my website was hacked. We immediately got tech support working on this and by Sunday morning it was removed. What we didn’t know is that there was also some…
