"Look around you, at the people you love. Is what you're doing within your marriage working for you and everyone around you?" It's a response to my "advice for marriage" question that I had no clue I would get from author, speaker, and funny guy Bob Goff. But it IS a...
Opening your bank account to check your latest balance, you realize something is waaaay off. Not just a few dollars are missing, but a few HUNDRED are no where to be found. Sadly, you've been the victim of debit card scamming, and your identity may be in the balance...
A fun day at Sunday School means probably another piece of artwork your little one can't, and won't part with. Without even looking at the fridge, you know there's no room left and some magnets are even holding 2 or 3 papers up at a time! Even without children, the...
You know how to handle your kitchen! You've been washing dishes and helping with cooking since you were 8, and no one can tell you you're doing things wrong. And even with all of your knowledge, passed-down from generations and oddball family members...you're still...
How we handle mornings are proving to be what makes or breaks the success of our days! Taken from www.Forbes.com. *Note: Where Forbes makes reference to "meditation", allow me to recommend "prayer and meditation" for sure-fire inspiration! Rise and shine! Morning time...
After some AMAZING weeks of God showing-up through you during PraiseShare, we're back to regular scheduled programming! And hopefully you're ready to dive back into what I'm calling The Marriage Series. Read the kick-off topic with JJ Heller HERE. 2 Little...
Health has become HUGE here in the US, maybe because we we aren't the healthiest individuals when we choose a cheeseburger the size of our heads instead of a salad now and then. And yes, this includes me too many times, heading back to the gym about twice or 3 times a...
It's an anniversary, a birthday, or "just because," and a loved one sent you the most beautiful bouquet of flowers you've ever seen!! They start out like this... ...but end up like this in almost 2 weeks...
Everybody told me I'd like being a grandpa. They were WRONG!I LOVE, LOVE it. Our boy Owen is one year old now and he has changed my life! The standard line was, "When you're a grand parent, you get to spoil 'em, then send 'em home! That's a fun thought, but there's so...
Even though I would love to believe there are some truly wonderful people in this world (which there are), I also am very aware that there are some pretty bad nut-jobs roaming around, needing counseling, prayer and maybe some jail time. They come in all forms and can...
Let's get one thing straight....Cellphones are a pretty sweet invention! Yes, pagers we're pretty nifty and certainly helped relay an urgent need to call someone, but the cellphone takes the gold in communication. But no matter how great an invention is,...
Recently, I had a chance to talk to some musicians and speakers, getting to know a little bit about who they are and what they feel is to come in their lives. Throughout the talks, a big question decided to pop-up that my newlywed mind wanted to know: "What would you...
Diapers: they stink, in more ways then one for sure. Yes, they are the basic necessity of taking care of and raising any child, but you can spend a pretty penny on these things you toss out about 5 times a day (or MORE). There is a little hope at the end of the diaper...
The nights are cooling off a little, and the grills are starting to say bye bye to the summer a little. But before you pop the cover on it for a little hibernation, get ready to be amazed what you can grill (and possibly should be grilling). Thanks to writer Adriana...
What a blast it was to have City Harbor in the studio this morning! Check out their new single "Come However You Are" at their website http://cityharbormusic.com/
I have ants...and I HATE THEM!! The apartment complex has supposedly sent someone out to our apartment to do something about the little creepers, but they still haven't gone away. And what's weird is that we're finding them in the weirdest places, like the bathroom...
Messes happen, as many have seen what can happen if a napkin isn't used when eating anything with dressing or condiments on them. Some of the worst offenders of mess...KIDS!! Okay, maybe not all kids, but a good majority of messes can come out of a busy little 7 year...
What excuse have you used about working out recently? Soreness can't even describe how I felt 2 days AFTER I did a mixed workout, which included some fun Zumba...and the wretched Mountain Climbers my new friend in radio, Rob Dempsey, decided to toss into the mix "for...
Getting online and seeing your child's Facebook post that has about 10 words that should have NEVER been typed is probably right up there with catching them in the act of playing hooky! The blood gets to bowling, the veins possibly going into overdrive, and you may...
"Do you have any homework tonight?" A simple question, yet it can spark what becomes a familiar argument throughout a child's school years. Haggling over homework is nothing new (most parents can remember protesting their own responsibilities on school nights), but...
Okay, maybe the meal won't cost ONLY $1, but you'd like to spend a small amount of money on a huge amount of fun with friends or family tonight (or any night). Nathan and I just recently spent under $5 on maybe some unhealthy fast-food, but was delicious, filling, and...
