Welcome to Day 27 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! I love talking about community and how we need each other. This week we've been covering some important truths: People are always our priority. We need to be encouragers (and it doesn't have to be hard).

Encourage Someone
Welcome to Day 25 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! Today's post is all about something I always MEAN to do ... but often fail to accomplish. It's one of those things that makes its way to my "to do" list every week and then gets bumped to the next week's list. I know it's important. I know it matters. And I love it when people do it for me. But somehow, in the middle of writing, laundry, and assuring the dog he doesn't have to bark at every little sound, this is often what remains ... [Read More]

3 Ways to Invest in Your Marriage
I didn't want to write this post. In fact, I've avoided it for longer than I'd care to admit. But here's the thing, my stomach hurts over this. I have agonized and prayed and wept for hours ... because marriage is seriously under attack! Over the past few years, twenty marriages of people we know have either ended in divorce or come dangerously close. For every year we have been married, the marriage of someone we know has ended. I recently read a popular blogger's explanation for her ... [Read More]
