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…

“Stop being thankful for your spouse…”
Have you ever walked by a conversation and heard something you didn’t like. It made you so furious that you reacting to it only to find out you only heard half the conversation. This is where my title comes from. Just passing by it, already eyebrows are raise and thoughts are flowing as to why…

The lingerie of life.
Lingerie is meant for one thing: attraction… …and the attraction it was designed for is meant to lead to intimacy. Anne will say, it doesn’t take much to attract me to her. It could be the “typical man” type of mindset, but I began to ask myself the other side of that: what repels me?…

Are you looking for volunteers to date your spouse?
I’m discovering something. My blogs that have the most “activity” all have one thing in common: they deal with marriage. That may for one of two reasons (perhaps both of them). First, I blog about it frequently because I’m passionate about marriage ministry. When Christ comes into the marriage, everything about the home changes. He…
