Okay I found the video very amusing and creative. Even though there is a part in there that I didn’t expect to be in it – it is still for me a fun story about a guy doing everything he can to show his extravagant love for his fiance and finally asking her to marry him. I think it is one of the greatest marriage proposals I’ve seen to date.
If you have a son this a great prayer to begin praying over him. A great way to reflect on how you can impact his life. If You are a son, than this is a great way to reflect on what it means to be one. If mom and dad are still around email this to them, who knows what life lesson you can gain from not only discussing this prayer, but actually praying through it with them. Take a step of faith even if they do not yet follow Jesus or even if there is tension in your relationship. Who knows what could happen in your relationship! Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee and that to know …
The most important thing a father can do for this children is to love their mother Henry Ward Beecher Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that …

I would like to share with you a video I captured on my iphone of my friends Diana and Tom. I had the privilege of officiating their wedding sometime in september 2011. I also am including a poem I wrote for them – the first poem I have ever written, so I hope you like it. I still believe in happily ever after Even though the divorce rate is still on the rise And every minute, hour and day someone is left with a broken heart But I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Because of it my two daughters still dream And each day, every moment I think about them I will be praying for them to win I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Even though in my marriage, in my very own home there is sometimes strain And I confess, sometimes do want to leave because of my pain But I still believe I still believe in happily ever after Even though you may believe otherwise And because of your experience …
Foxes are pests that wreak havoc in vineyards (e.g., they will eat the grapes). Although the vineyard has been associated with the appearance of the woman (1:6), here it is described as our vineyards and thus refers to their relationship. The foxes represent some hindrances that are threatening to spoil their relationship
Well, I forgot to let you all know that I finished Andy Stanley’s Creating Community last week. So please allow me to share with you a few things I clipped in my Kindle:1/.”It is better to eat Twinkies with good friends than to eat broccoli alone.” I thought this was a compelling way to emphasize that strong relationships pay huge dividends, even toward good health. because we grow when we are in loving relationships, but we die slowly when we are isolated. 2/. “The kind of connections we need is more than casual. Casual connections aren’t life-giving.” Only God Spirit unleashed through His body can make that kind of difference. According to Him the only place that kind of life-changing Experience is displayed – is the church in the community. 3/. The goal for Andy is to: a. see people grow in their relationship with Christ b. Pursue three vital relationships c. Be a part of a small group… For them, it’s all about relationships… that’s where people grow… that’s what their church is all …
“Marriage is not an end in itself; it is a means by which we may grow in the Lord and realize His glory. Paul S. Rees The struggle is real What if marriage was the breathing ground for character development and Christian maturity? When I entered marriage I didn’t see it that way. But today, I’m persuaded God intended us to grow into being Christlike in every stage of life, but especially when married It isn’t easy living with another person. I don’t care how much you’re in love, you are going to experience some difference of opinion from time to time. It’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as you are handling it in a peaceable manner. I confess that I’ve never been challenged any other time in my life than I am in my married life. That’s because I am very different from my wife and she is very different from me. Like the saying goes – “opposites attract before marriage – then they attack during the marriage.” It is important to put a little more effort …
