After my wonderful time doing the podcast on “Respecting Your Husband” with Becky I just kept thinking about all the things that we didn’t cover, and things that may be taken the wrong way.  However, I also know that the Holy Spirit will speak to His children as they are surrendered to Him and ask [...]

May 13, 2011

Just ask Kirk. Yesterday was NOT my finest day! I was stressed out and showing it. I was sure that our children were messed up for life. The house seemed in total chaos.
