Forgiveness can seem like a heavy topic. For many of us, it’s easy to see when others should just let go and forgive.

Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
Over the weekend I came down with a monster stye on my eye. The top eyelid of my left eye swelled up to about double it’s size. Besides being painful and making it difficult to see, I found that my eye wasn’t the only thing that was hurting. My patience took a hit, too.… Continue reading Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
How do you have more love in marriage?
On Sunday, my husband and I celebrated thirteen years of marriage. In a way it seems like we’ve been together for forever. But at the same time, I don’t feel like an old married couple at all.

As everyone knows, today is Election Day. And today’s post is about something that I haven’t felt very much this whole election- Love. Because in addition to today being Election Day, it’s also my parent’s 47th wedding anniversary. Forty-seven years is a major accomplishment. They have been married for as long as my… Continue reading Election Day Love
A Dozen Years of Love
On Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. So, it’s officially a dozen years of love. Not too bad for a couple that is “bad on paper”. That was the big joke when we first got together. At first glance, I think many people rightfully weren’t sure this would last 12 months,… Continue reading A Dozen Years of Love
