What I have come up with is that maybe getting married a second time may never be what I want again. Marriage will be a “one and done” experience in my lifetime, and I may have to learn to be ok with that.

Do Not Tolerate Anything Less Than in Love
Today I listened to my father discuss tolerance during church today. He made a very interesting point in how it related to love. He said that tolerance is closely related to love. When he said this, he referenced 1Corinthians 13:7. That particular verse says this: It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things…

A Look Beyond the Titles
Mother. Wife. Supervisor. Employee. Provider. There are so many times when women who fall into these categories are defined by these words.

A Lesson Learned
What do you take from the experiences life brings you? Do you take them as what they are and move on, or do you search for the lesson in those experiences? Life is full of countless lessons; some come from good experiences and some come from bad. I’d like to believe that a lot of…
