My wife and I have had discussions about the idea of “the one.” We both believe in a version of “the one,” and both our views have adjusted over time. When it comes to this subject some hold to the view that people are created for each other and led to that right person. Others [...]

In a relationship book my wife and I read earlier this year there was an entire chapter dedicated to the subject of self-talk. Whether we want to admit it or not, we are easily influenced. This is a consequence of being human. The way others act toward us and the words they say to and [...]

Since changing our plans about church planting and focusing on the foundation of our marriage I have changed many of my habits. For instance, I’m reading less about ministry and leadership and more about relationships and communication. Katy and I have identified several books that we are reading together and then discussing as we go [...]

I have noticed a habit or trend among contemporary pastors today that I find unhealthy. Some (not all or most) contemporary, mega-church pastors make a habit of talking about or referring to their “hot wife.” Whether it be through twitter, blogs, or preaching, we are informed regularly of the hotness of the pastors wife. A [...]

After my last post I had someone questions the wisdom Taylor Swift has when it comes to relationships. Though that is fair, I still believe there are some great truths mentioned in some of the lines of her song, Mine. In her singing, “Brace myself for the goodbye, cause it’s all I’ve ever known” she [...]

I get ideas for messages and blog posts from a variety of sources. Well a few weeks ago I was driving around town with the radio playing as background music when some lyrics from the song playing jumped out at me. As I turned the radio up I realized the song was “Mine” by Taylor [...]

My Salvation There’s nothing I could do to earn it. I did nothing to deserve it. In my weakest of moments I have often thought back to the promise I have of salvation and though it did not always cure the present pain, it helped put things in perspective for me. My Family I’m thankful [...]

If anyone needs marriage counseling, feel free to give me a call. I mean, I’ve been married for almost two weeks so I’m pretty much an expert now. In case you were unable to join us, we had a wonderful wedding day. We broke a lot of unwritten wedding rules by seeing each other and [...]
