Stop being Swiss
The weekly marriage blog has been a thrill to do. In February, I’m going to focus the marriage blog on the subject of sex. Being Valentines month, it comes as an easy topic to discuss. Other than finances, it is still the biggest struggle points in marriage…but I’ll save the words for next week. From…

New series coming to @kalamazoofirst (with video)!!!…and other essential links you need.
I’m wore out but still pumped from yesterday. The voice is a bit scratching and I had a sleepless night. I’ll admit I had a few nightmares…but my insomnia come from my mind already on the next message. The service was amazing and I am staring and Monday completely stoked for what God has in…

Kissing Lessons
To quote Porthos in the “Three Musketeers,” he told D’Artagnan “The secret…is in the first kiss for in that first kiss a lasting impression is made. Right, ladies? If it is weak she’ll think you’re weak. If it is comical she’ll think you’re a clown. (…) And as a musketeer is never weak and only rarely a clown…

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…
