Saying 'I Love You' for Less
This is for the frugal romantic. Last Valentine's Day I had $8. I went to the local grocery store and bought gladiolas (the cheapest flowers I could find - but very beautiful). I cut red tissue paper into hearts. I also bought strawberries and grapes. I got out all the photos of the two of us and taped them... >Read More

Best Friend
"Best friend" can sound like a silly, childish term to many people. It conjures up images of playground arguments between little girls, but it is a term that is dear to my heart.
I met Jocelyn in 1974, in Mrs. Ball's kindergarten class. I was four years old and she was five. Over the course of a year spent huddled... >Read More

What's God got to do with it?
This is part 2 of this article. Read part 1.
Remember this, what can settle your mind will not settle your soul. It will stir it up. You are a unique creation made by God to live and not simply exist. Your soul longs to find its ultimate purpose. It will not rest until you do. Your soul craves its... >Read More

What Does Your Soul Crave?
I read a book called Soul Cravings by Erwin McManus. These are my thoughts (McManus' quotes are in italics).
