Everybody’s Talking About Wholeness But I Can’t Seem To Get There

There are lots of people, including Christians, who would have to say that being complete or whole sounds good, but is a hard thing to achieve. This leads me to ask some questions and seek the answers. What does it mean for us to be whole? How did we become so divided? What is the pathway back to wholeness or unity?

Things I’ve Learned in Twenty-Five Years of Marriage – Part 3

Commitment is a charged word for married folk. It is a word that makes some fearful, while others take it too lightly. At the beginning of our marriage, my wife and I would have fallen into the latter category. We took it too lightly, but I don’t believe we did it purposely. We just had no real idea what commitment in marriage meant, or what we were being asked to commit to as a couple. [Read more…] about Things I’ve Learned in Twenty-Five Years of Marriage – Part 3
