Morning friends, My colleague Allison Cook has written a great article on boundaries and whether or not they are selfish. I thought it would be helpful for my audience so I asked her if I could share it with you all. Question: Is setting boundaries selfish? Isn’t it better to be selfless? Answer: Whenever I […]
I Have No Say. What Are My Next Steps?
Morning friends, I’m back at my home near Phoenix, and it’s pizza oven hot. Temperatures yesterday hovered around 115. But it’s been a nice change, and I got a chance to walk my 10,000 steps yesterday in our community pool, which has a walking track right in the water. I also got to visit with […]
Am I Judging Or Discerning?
Morning Friends, It’s been a tough week. Thanks for your prayers. Two dear friends have COVID-19 and feeling pretty flu-ish. I tested negative (as I had been in contact with both of them) but have been staying home pretty much for the two-week period of waiting time, which is almost over. It’s raining A LOT […]
Is He Manipulating Me?
Morning friends, I’ve got a question for all of you. What book, or television series or movie have you watched or read during this COVID isolation time that you loved? I’m reading a few right now. We watched Anne with an E (Anne of Green Gables) Netflix series – excellent – we all loved […]
Thriving Not Surviving [Guest Post]
Morning friends, I’m up at our cabin, being nana this week, but I have a treat for you. I’ve asked my friend Gary Thomas to guest post for me today from his newest book When To Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People. I love hearing a pastor’s voice and heart validate the horrible effects […]
My Wife’s Overreacting Because Of Her Childhood
Morning friends, I’m sitting outside on my deck at 8 am, and it’s simply glorious. The sunlight is sparkling, the air is clean and warm, and this is definitely my happy place, especially early when it’s quiet. I hope you take the time to be in God’s creation regularly. I’m reminded of Psalm 23, […]
The Difference Between Judging And Discerning
Morning friends, I’m up at our little cabin in the White Tank Mountains of Arizona. It’s an entirely different world than Phoenix up here. It’s rustic, green and reminds me of a lot of Northern Michigan or Minnesota. My granddaughters are here for the next few weeks, so we are having fun planting flowers, reading […]
Acceptance And Letting Go
Morning friends, I’ve relocated to our summer cabin. Since all my May speaking/travel schedule has been postponed until Fall, there was no reason not to move up to the mountains now. Phoenix heat has been near or at 100 degrees over the last ten days. It’s wonderful to enjoy 80 degrees, sunny, dry, beautiful days. […]
I’ve Become The Villain, My Church Believes Him
Morning friends, What’s it been like for you to slow down? Are you bored? Restless? Anxious to resume your busy life? This purposeful pause throughout our country gives us all time to reflect upon our past busyness. To evaluate whether or not our busyness has created a meaningful life, or simply given us the illusion […]
How To Find And Keep Good Friends
Morning friends, I usually respond to a lot of questions each week about marriage. But last week’s question was about a friendship with another woman and I don’t think we give this topic enough time or energy. Our girlfriend relationships are crucial, probably even more important than marriage because there is no one person, even […]
