Make A Splash
Now that I hit the bottom of the bottle – of Dreft – as yummy an aroma as baby laundry detergent might be, I can honestly say I don’t see myself waking up one day and missing the smell of the stuff. This week I finished the last of 11 years of Costco-sized bottles of...
A Good Friday Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for this day. For the good we cherished, the parts we failed to find good in and for all Your help through it. But Lord Thank You most of all for Your Son Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We have shown You time and again that we are wicked...
The Love of Your Life
Folks, music therapy is a powerful thing. Over the past three weeks, I’ve featured some wonderful love songs on the blog for you to listen to and help encourage you in your sacred marriages. I hope they reminded you that although your marriage is broken (just like...
Love is a Battlefield – Fight the Good Fight
Here’s the second installment of the music I hand-picked to set the mood for Mt. Olive’s Art of Marriage retreat coming up at the end of the month. Forward these words to someone in your life that might need this encouragement in their relationship, or soak ‘em up...

Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Valentine’s Day is this week. My Dominick told his sister, “Valentines Day is all about love.” Ahhh. What better thing to celebrate? In my best attempt to be God’s love cheerleader, I issued 3 friendly suggestions to Mt. Olive’s Married Couples Ministry group each...
Fire Up
“Anticlimactic” If we traced the word back to its roots, the feeling stirred while taking down Christmas decorations might be the inspiration behind “anticlimactic”. If you ask me the worst, barest, most boring, bland and sparse the house looks all year is after we...
Gloria
Some days life has its way with me like a cat swatting at a defenseless mouse. I’m hard on myself and quite honestly, many days my only goals are: 1. Keep your head above water – however narrowly. 2. Do whatever it takes to sidestep the Emergency Room with the Fab 5....
Making A List – Checking It Twice
I’m putting in overtime hours trying to polish off the leftovers from Thanksgiving. Today I ate so much stuffing and turkey I couldn’t eat the cranberry sauce. But truth be told, this is a charade designed to prolong Thanksgiving and not face the grueling task of...
Counting Blessings
It’s Thanksgiving, folks. In Ephesians 5:20 Paul says, “giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Now, I certainly don’t ‘give thanks’ nearly as much as I should. “Always and for everything” is something I’m...
