Purity for Politicians…
...and purity for pastors, priests, poets and all people.By now you've probably heard the sad and disappointing news of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's affair. It's a story that is sure to be in the headlines for the next several days. But after the hype of the news channels and tabloids, newspapers and magazines, the reality is that a marriage, and a family, hangs in the balance. And this story has caused me to ...

The Challenge Continues
There's no doubt this challenge has been, well, challenging. With the pace of life, the rush of our schedules, we've all had barriers to negotiate. I have to admit, my schedule has gone to a hole 'nutha level this week! But it's great to hear that so many couples are finding ways to overcome those barriers. God is doing some amazing work in the lives of so many people - not only married, but single as well. ...
7 Days of ?!?!
I'm not even sure what day it is! We've been going at such a whirlwind pace getting ready to go to London and Johannesburg that it's been a challenge to keep the challenge. But don't worry.

For one, we are thinking more creatively about ...

Riding the Waves of the Retreats
Words can't describe how much I enjoyed being a part of our dual marriage retreats last week!

We had one retreat called the "Creative Marriage Retreat" for pastors and their spouses. I went into the retreat not knowing what to expect. But I've got to say that it was one of the most powerful times ...

Marriage is hard…amen?!
Marriage is HARD! Always putting someone else's needs ahead of my own. Always having to consider someone else's feelings. Always putting my stuff on the backburner. Sometimes I think "I could be fishing somewhere in south Florida if I didn't have to focus on my marriage!" And it's right then when I realize... Marriage isn't the easiest thing; it's the hardest thing. But when we do it God's way, it can definitely be the greatest ...
