By Leslie Vernick | June 16, 2021 |

Morning friends, I’m in Chicago this week spending some time with my elderly parents. It’s so good to share this journey with them and it’s so hard. It’s never easy seeing those you love struggle and when you think of it, I’d appreciate your prayers for them.   Question: I’ve been married for almost 13 years now & have 2…

Do I Have To Have Sex With My Husband?

By Leslie Vernick | June 5, 2019 |

Hi Friends, Wow, this has been a crazy week. We had an overwhelming response to our invitation for new CONQUER members.

Do I Have To Have A Relationship With My Mother-In-Law?

By Leslie Vernick | November 7, 2018 |

Morning friends, Thanks so much for your prayers. It was a grueling week and I spoke a lot and now I’m sick with a head cold. I have another week of travel to go.

How Do I Center Myself In God?

By Leslie Vernick | October 14, 2015 |

Morning friends,  If you’ve been praying for me, thank you. I’ve had a whirlwind month of speaking and traveling and I’m pretty wiped out. I’m home for the next two weeks and looking forward to getting my paperwork cleaned up. Have you gone paperless? If so, what did you do first? What scanner did you use? Did you have a…

Topic: My Husband is Smoking – The Gift of Acceptance

By Leslie Vernick | October 31, 2011 |

Good morning friends, We have just survived our first October snowstorm. Much of the area has been without power, many beautiful trees are ruined. Their branches couldn’t carry the load of snow and ice because their leaves hadn’t dropped. It is so sad to see the wreckage. I’ve included two pictures, one from the snow storm on Saturday, one from…

By Leslie Vernick | August 29, 2011 |

Hi Friends, I hope all my East coast friends survived Hurricane Irene. Thankfully, we only had minor water leakage in our basement and lots of leaves everywhere from all the heavy winds. Just a reminder, next Tuesday, my newsletter is going out. I will be talking about Holy Listening. Do you know how to hear God? If you’re not already…

It was cold, but thankfully didn’t rain (it rained the rest of the week). But over the past two weeks I’ve been pondering something. What do you want said about you at your funeral? Before I left…
