What a topic my wife wanted me to write about! I know it can be an uncomfortable topic for some… but please stick with me as I share some of my thoughts and Scripture. (Written by Michael Van Pelt)

Have you ever had a random opportunity come up that you would regret if you passed it up? Sometimes that can create interesting adventures…

There are days or seasons when life gets unavoidably busy and you know you’re going to pay the symptom consequences. You can’t help it.

You’ve received the invitation. Now you’re torn. Do you go or stay home? If you’re answer is yes, let me help you conquer that shower!

I was never really a meal planner. I would buy what I thought we might like throughout the week. Then I’d get creative with what was in my cupboards and what my stomach was craving. I think I would call this “survival” stage.

If you grew up in a church, you most likely had some stories from your youth group days. Michael and I laugh now when we see teenagers trying to impress each other by doing silly things. We were there once too, though we try to deny it.

It was a wonderful evening. Michael and I enjoyed a delicious rib dinner at the restaurant. We went for a swim when we returned to the hotel. It was a quiet night. We were the only ones in the pool. We swam laps and enjoyed the warm water soothing our bodies after a long drive. It was perfect.

We’ve heard Leah’s side of the story. The poor rejected woman, stuck in an unloving marriage, but eventually blessed with six sons! Now let’s hear the other side. Bring in Rachel. No, not me silly. The Rachel from the Bible.

Are you ever in a circumstance where you’re not sure where your life is going? Every time you try to do something, it seems to end up working against you? Why is that and what do you do about it?

Mother’s Day is only a couple days away. What’s stopping us from finding unique ways to celebrate this special occasion?
