A Divine Parallel by Guest Writer: Janet

I too have felt great passion, loss and sadness causing me to weep. {Hebrews 5:7, Luke 19:41, John 11:35, Mark 15:37} God how much longer? I mean really, can’t my spouse see I’m not trying…

Disillusioned in My Marriage – Unequally Yoked
A few weeks ago I watched my friend Kelly walking through the foyer of our church. In tow, her three children. They passed by me smiling and saying, “Hello” to passersby who were heading out to eat or going home after church. But, as I looked into her face, I saw something no one else…

The Elusive Dream
Today’s post may be a bit rambling but I'm sensing you may be in the same place. So here goes. Yesterday was Father’s Day. I know this day can be emotional and challenging to spouses who are spiritually mismatched. I know this because I am still one of them. I walked into church this morning.…
