Okay, so I don’t struggle with porn personally. I struggle with the fact that pornography is something so few of us talk about. I struggle with how it has destroyed marriages, hurt children, and shattered lives. It’s such a taboo subject that men and women don’t feel comfortable discussing their addiction to porn. Sometimes, not [...]

Accountability
I sometimes wonder how many problems we could avoid in life if we all had accountability partners, and we shared our deepest thoughts with that partner. Good.Bad.And.Ugly. What is accountability? Merrian-Webster defines it as “an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.” An accountability partner is someone you share your [...]

Healthy Livin’
Okay, Shari Lynn. You asked for it. I’m not as skinny as I used to be, ‘cause I like food. But, I do try to stay within my healthy weight range. Which gives me about a good 20 pounds of leeway. I am far, far from perfect. And, I can eat my weight of eighty [...]

My Favorite Things. Your Favorite Things. (2nd Edition)
My, my. You people know what you like. Hope commented: “Y’all probably don’t need this kind of moisturizing but up here in Canada … whoa! Dr. Denese (probably on your QVC) sells a face “oil” that doesn’t leave a trace of oil, doesn’t clog pores and leaves your skin feeling like it was just made. [...]

Sometimes, I need a kick in the booty.
There are days I get so wrapped up in myself, it’s disgusting. I spent the greater part of yesterday afternoon stressing – yes, stressing – over airline tickets for Disney World and at which resort to stay. Disney World, people. During my self-absorbed time where I was my main focus, my friend was at the [...]

It’s always her.
I have lived with my husband’s problem for more than five years now. I’ve encouraged him to seek counseling, but he is convinced that he does not have a problem. “It’s been a part of me since I was seventeen. I can’t let go of it.” Kris has explained over and over. For the longest [...]

I get letters.
In my inbox. Who uses snail mail anymore? My very good friend, Kate, e-mailed me last Friday about her sweet time she had with Jesus that morning. Something she said really got to me. “No matter how much I have in my life that I don’t want, I HAVE SO MUCH in my life THAT [...]

These small hours.
I have these moments. Still moments that I honestly hang onto with serious vigor. You know those moments that you and your spouse look at each other and laugh. When your child looks in wonderment at her own shadow. When your son discovers that he can finally snap his fingers. When you are all together [...]

Sci-Fi Cinema. Of course, it’s real.
I was watching one of the Harry Potter films the other day when I commented, “That sure is pretty. I wonder where that was filmed?” Kris answered, “I believe that’s all fake, honey.” Well, thanks for ruining it for me. I suppose he thinks Wolverine can’t really heal himself either. I love science fiction. It’s [...]

Sarah Palin’s daughter is pregnant!
Okay. Soooo, what ya think? Really? My thoughts….as a momma, certainly not any kind of politician: I have a little girl. Dear Jesus, I hope she is not sitting at seventeen expecting a little pride and joy. But, if she is. There are worse things. I could lose a child. This is do-able. Amen? My [...]
