Love the One You're With - Blog Entry

I have to say I totally agree with you. It does get hard at times but nothing worth while comes easy. You have to work for it and the more work you put in the more you appreciate and value it. We need to stop being so quick to just throw our hands up and be willing to fight for what we really want.

That is plain ridiculous. I have to agree his parents should not be surprised and it is their fault for not raising him to be a independent and respectful man.

Reasons to Give Your Spouse a Second Chance - Blog Entry

18 Mar 2009 01:20 PM

For me it's about God and what He requires of us. According to His word the only reason given for divorce is adultery but in our marriage we are suppose to have the God kind of love and God's love is not a selfish love. God's kind of love, loves even when that love is not reciprocated. One attribute of love is forgiveness. God's love for us endures all things. None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes and no one sin is worse than another. It may hurt our feelings at various levels but a sin is a sin.

If you have true love, "God's love", for your spouse then you will forgive him/her for their wrong doing.(Not saying it will be easy) The one thing God does say is if that person can not repent for their wrong and change from their sinful ways THEN you have the right to divorce.

So with all of that being said I do believe you should give your spouse a second chance.

Men Don't Nag - Blog Entry

I agree with joshpurlock's comment and I never looked at it that way until I read that. But to answer your question yes that is funny in a sad sort of way but things have always seemed to be that way. The things that men and women may do alike are categorized differently.

Dad's Good Intentions Crumble - Blog Entry

I don't see anything wrong with what he did and in fact I think it's makes it even better that he only sold locally so that they could deliver the cookies in person. I give him an A+ as a dad for this one!

The Bible is a Book of Contrasts - Blog Entry

I feel that through our prayer request we show God's glory by giving Him the praises for how things happen for us. Just an example if we pray for our marriage to work when it finally does get good we have to thank god and let all know, when possible, that it was God who got us there and not just the counseling or books or things of that nature. Also we must share with others how truly seeking God's will in our lives contributed to the blessings we received. Just give Him the Glory at all times because without Him we have nothing and we are nothing!

Should You Avoid Divorce? - Blog Entry

09 Mar 2009 12:30 PM

As I understand where you are coming from I think one amazing factor you left out is God. God has the power to change ALL things and I believe that if you go to Him with every and all your marital issues He can work them out.

One of the pastors at my church spoke on this issue of divorce and taught me something I didn't know or was understanding incorrectly. As you stated divorce is only permitted when there is adultery and/or abandonment and it's not at the first instance it's after you have confronted the issue and the guilty party does nothing to correct their actions, they continue to do the same things. He said in marriage you love your partner and love is forgiving so you are to forgive the wrong-doer but if that person continues to wrong you in that way then you are permitted to leave.

Marriage is hard work everyday and should not be entered into lightly. Just as we prepare for test and other things in life I think we should prepare for marriage by gaining all the knowledge we can about what is expected of us by God as a married person. We are each responsible for our own actions!

Actions Bring Consequences - Blog Entry

My friend and I just had this very conversation and I believe that is the problem with a lot of people. They find it hard to turn to God because they are not ready to give up their sinful ways but yet want to receive God's greatness and blessings. I believe our sacrifices are just one way to show Him that we appreciate the blessings He bestows on our lives. Just as you said, we're not perfect and even though we may fall backwards it's all about not giving up and doing our best to change from our sinful ways! Thank you!
