I was stumped by a question I read the other day.  “When was the last time you complimented your spouse?”  I couldn’t answer the question. 

The bible tells us that Jesus called his followers friends.  How can we return the friendship?

 

My wife Cathy is an amazing mother.  I marvel as to how easily she relates to our children and grandson.  Recently, I overheard Cathy reading the children’s book, The Cookie Store Cat, to our twenty year-old daughter.  I wasn’t surprised.  Courtney is still a child at heart and Cathy relishes the role of storyteller.

Everyone needs encouragement.

I find myself still stunned following the tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend.  The first question that leapt to mind was, “When will the hatred and violence stop, O Lord?”
