I AM A TIRED WOMAN is the title of the following anonymous article [marked by the *’s] I ran across a few years ago. (Excuse me if it offends you by saying this, but the author had no issue with saying she was a woman, and no difficulty verbalizing women are in some ways different from […]

Someone observed that marriage is like horseradish — men, and women, sometimes praise it with tears in their eyes. Marriage can bring tears of unparalleled joy, or tears of intense pain and grief. After the Lord, a good marriage partner can be the greatest help we have in life. As the old marriage ceremony goes, […]

A quote attributed to a man named Paul Washer blessed me since I happened upon it — “I have given Christ many reasons not to love me. None of them changed his mind.” To that we should all say, “Amen” (see Romans 3:23) and also, “Praise be to God” for the love that compelled Him […]

Helen Rowland said, “Marriage is like twirling a baton or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.” So it does. But it’s not easy. The prevalence of divorce proves that.

In early 1990, retired Alabama dairy farmer Jack McWilliams and his family released a juice to consumers called “JOGGING IN A JUG” (Google it for a fuller story!). It claimed health benefits including improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of heart attack, cancer, and other things – all without jogging one step or any physical […]

Why is it so much easier to jump to conclusions (and very often WRONG conclusions) about people than to assume the best about them? There’s a story about a man sitting in his living   room one evening when he suddenly called to his wife — “There goes that woman Charlie Brown is in love with.” […]

Some wag said, “I don’t want to brag, but I put a puzzle together in one day and the box said 2 to 4 years.” Allow me to spring off of that goofy thought to address the very glorious but serious Bible subject of the grace of God. God’s grace is not a puzzle to […]

Jerry Bridges blessed me when I ran across the following quote from him: “Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace.
