A Pile of Dung
I came into the office today and dove into my devos. I’m going through Philippians and Hebrews in my personal studies. I couldn’t let go of Philippians 3:8 (of course I had to instagram it) “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered…

Using a Hammer to Fix Your Spouse
I like to think myself as a decent handy man. I recognize I don’t come off that way. I’m clumsy. I get hurt easy. And yes I did once glue my knee to a tile while redoing my bathroom. But overall, I’m pretty good. Because of that side of me, one of my favorite things…

Ten Things I Hate About My Spouse
If you were to ask your friends/family/coworkers to make a “TOP TEN” list for you, what type of list would they make? Would it be, “Ten Things I Hate About My Spouse”? Or would it be “Ten Things I Love About My Spouse”? I almost borrowed the title of the 1999 teen romance film, “Then…

Overwhelmed from a morning @kalamazoofirst
Overwhelmed. It’s the only word I can use to describe what I feel. Overwhelmed. I walked into my office almost an hour earlier than the office opened, determined to spend some time alone in prayer. The temperature caught me off guard. It was 54 degrees. Walking over to my heater, I noticed the pile of…

7 Years of Bad Luck
I’m backing out of my garage today. I am going out with my family on my day off. There’s a reason why Anne warns me, every Friday, about the trash can. You see, Friday is “trash day” and, one morning, she was taking Cammi to the bus stop and forgot about the trash can. The…

The Marital Kiss of Death
A marriage thought came off of a quote I came across. Oswald Chambers says, “Some of us are like the Dead Sea,always taking in,never giving out,because we’re not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.” My thought: We have the capability to turn our marriages into the Dead Sea. How does that happen? Selfishness. Bear with me…

Stay close
In the wake of what has taken place today, I find my self with a heavy heart..unable to do my weekly marriage blog. The blog I had planned on doing today with Anne will have to wait till next week. It just didn’t seem right today. How are you reacting to today’s events? My reactions…

Ineffective husbands
There’s a scripture that immediately comes to mind. 2 Timothy 2:15 is it. For some reason, the KJV is what rings loudly in my head. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” It’s the scripture that was heavily impressed upon me…

Chafing my spouse
I hate chafing. I can’t say I deal with that often. But you know as well as I do, it’s frustrating. And if you are in a position where it occurs and you can’t deal with it right then and there…it’s complete misery. Chafing refers to the irritation of skin caused by repetitive friction (thanks Wiki). One…
