From my guest author:   I was going to write a little about the struggles we went through as parents as our children grew, but God has let me know that those stories are not mine to tell, so he has led me to take a different direction. I am an avid reader.  I read…

Yesterday (link) my guest writer wrote about family.  ”Family” is a very tough topic for many people these days.  Almost assuredly you know somebody that got divorced or somebodies parents that are divorced.  Obviously there is no simple answer to keeping a marriage together.  One thing that will forever stand out in my mind, is a picture of…

I am so grateful that this person contacted me and was willing to share their story.  As I’ve mentioned in the past, I don’t have any kids of my own (yet anyways) and it’s always good to hear things from a different perspective.  Perhaps you are a mother yourself and are going through some of…

One of my major hobbies is cooking and baking, especially for others. On most days, I would rather stay home and cook dinner with  my husband, family or friends as opposed to going out to dinner. Since it’s “Freebie Friday” I thought I’d share a few recipes that I enjoy and are healthy. The picture…

As I mentioned in “My Story” here, I met with a nutritionist and psychologist to help me overcome my eating disorder. One of the main reasons that meeting with them worked was because of the accountability. I recorded my meals/calories, wrote down if I binged or under-ate and helped figure out what happened that day or…

Among the positive things that stemmed from my eating disorder, is my view on the importance of health, specifically eating right and exercising. I feel that is extremely important to take care of our bodies and to treat them like the temples that God created. Today, I would like to challenge you to take one…

I am so thankful that God pulled me out of that terrible addiction that took two years of my life. But as I mentioned in yesterday’s post here, I still really didn’t have the relationship with God that I know He was calling me towards. Throughout the next year, I began going to a Baptist church…

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday!  The next several weeks are going to be devoted to reader’s stories.  So today, my wife has offered to share one of her stories.  I want to remind everyone that even though this is sort of a confession, it’s really meant to provide real world examples of how God can change…

Beginning next week and continuing for 5 or 6 weeks, I have asked some readers to share their story.  Some of them went through a difficult time and I asked them to share what got them through it, some of them are still going through a tough time, and some of them just had a…

My wife is awesome.  She has such a good heart that it can’t help but to have an affect on those around her.   One thing that she loves to do is bake.  And the treats she makes me are DELICIOUS.  One day we were sitting at the dinner table and she was reading the…

One of my absolute favorite songs is Amazing Grace.  It’s a song that I don’t hear nearly enough.  There is so much passion in the lyrics that you can feel the sorrow and resentment in every line.   It’s very rare that you get to hear the story behind why a song was written, especially a song…
