  for reflection, the latest 22 comments

  {This is a follow up to Nikole Hahn’s Post, “it’s not always the daughter’s fault”… questioning why the daughter is often blamed for relationship issues.} It’s the age old story. We have seen the movies, watched the TV shows dedicated to the difficult meanderings of a woman marrying a son. [...]

  taking the plunge

  for reflection, the latest 1 comment

  There is this bridge I cross over every day. Every day, I’m tempted to jump. Before you jump to conclusions (pun intended), I’d like to explain. Outside our local town, there is an old weathered welcome sign, and underneath it hangs a small plaque that shows the town’s population is [...]

  is marriage relevant?

  [management by God] making a stepford wife

  ministry, the latest, workplace 3 comments

  I love the classic (and remake) movie The Stepford Wives. I think every man has thought about what it would be like to have that “perfect” wife. You know, the one that anticipates and meets your every need. I also think that most women can even relate to the idea that [...]
