    I know. I know. We’ve all heard of the slang phrase about making assumptions. I’ll skip that and get to the meat of today’s blog. Last issue I wrote about choosing to love differently. Thank you for the positive feedback about that issue! I still want to address the theme of love, but from a…

    In my last blog I asked about looking back and wishing you could do something in your past differently and then applying that to today. Maybe you gave that some thought and began to plan some things you recognize as needed changes. Maybe you are beginning to use your time more wisely. Or, you could…

    Do you ever think back over your life and ask yourself what you would do differently if you could go back? I’m just guessing, but I would suppose most, if not all, of us have asked ourselves that question. I think that there is a balance between it being a good exercise and realizing that…

    In addition to learning that I’m not always right, that it is important to stay healthy, and that loneliness is a scourge on our society, there’s another thing that I have learned along the way: In many, if not most, cases more words is better than less words. It should be obvious that more words…

    There is something that I’ve learned along the way that bears re-learning. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am reminded of this on a regular basis. Sometimes my wife or other family members remind me. Other times circumstances conspire to show me that, despite my best intentions and planning,…

    Another in the series of things I’ve learned along the way…I have found that it is important to be clear in the things I am trying to communicate. It doesn’t matter if this is with my wife, other family members, Life Group participants, or others. Here’s why… I am convinced that words are important. So…

    In many relationships there comes a time when believability becomes an issue. Someone has been hurt. Someone has lied. Someone has been manipulative. Someone feels cheated. The circumstances which can lead to the believability crisis can vary widely. In any case the crisis revolves around trust. As I counsel, the theme of trust is frequently…

                Our last blog was about your emotional ROI, or Return on Investment.  You will remember that it was focused on what kind of returns we are getting from our emotions: positive/profitable or negative/loss.  I hope that you have taken the time necessary to think this through.  There is no doubt that you are going…

    There are lots of folks who look at marriage and relationships as a means of having their own needs met. I’m sure that I would have fit into that description in my younger years. I have worked to leave that selfish aspect of my life behind especially as it relates to marriage. We could spend…

    I hope that heading got your attention, but let me assure you that “I ain’t got the blues”, as some would sing it. I like to listen to a wide variety of styles of music, the Blues being one of them. I guess you could say that my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Classic Christian…
