Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes …

A Little or A Lot, It All Counts
A friend gave me some great advice awhile back concerning exercise. She said the problem with your thinking is if you do not get to go to the gym and spend 45 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes on weights you don’t do anything at all. “Oh well I am not going to be able …
Marriage Is Not For The Faint-Hearted!
“Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked – or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you’re capable of growing into the …
A Movie To See, and a Movie Not To See.

From Angel’s Husband, Ben
Angel is currently at the beach in Panama City, Florida with several of her girlfriends … enjoying some much-needed, and well-deserved vacation time.

For the Husbands!
The best gift a father can give his children is to love their mother. I know this blog is geared towards moms. However today I would like to help some dads/husbands out with helping out mom/wife. I believe most husbands want to make their wives happy but they are not sure what to do. While …
