Preparing for Marriage: What Advice Would You Give? by Luci
There was a fascinating article in today’s Washington Post that I couldn’t resist sharing! The title is “The Marriage Myth: Why do so many couples divorce? Maybe they just don’t know how to be married.” If you’re married, what advice would you give to singles, newlyweds, and other married couples? Regardless of your marital status, what do you think is important for men and women in preparing for marriage? What is the most important thing someone can do to prepare for marriage?
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you by Shannon
Dear Spring, While I regret to say it, it has come to the time when we must part. From school and weather, to the prom and friends graduating, the past few months have been a mix of events and excitement. Thank you for your loveliness…your cool mornings, your warm breezes, your flowers on every corner, your new life…
Am I living God’s Will? by Chelsea
I know I have been relatively quiet for a while now. I have been weighing a pretty hefty decision, my first one really. I have a job that has pretty much been handed to me on a silver platter, but I do not know that it is something God wants me to do.
Patience is a Virtue – So Get Rid of Those Pet Peeves! by Serenity
A pet peeve of mine used to be finding a bunch of bath toys all piled up at the tub drain when I went to go take my shower. It probably took me an entire five minutes to sit there and hold each candy-colored speed boat upside down to dry, and squeeze all the water out of every single rubber duck, spitting frog and kissy fish. An entire FIVE MINUTES! What are these children thinking?
My Colour Coded Bible System by Page
I have two bibles that I use, the first is The Complete Jewish Bible and the second is the AENT (The Aramaic English New Testament). Both bibles I have added colour codes for various references which make it easy for me to look up specific verses and/or subjects when I need them. This is so simple to do and trust me I would highly recommend doing this as your life will be made so much easier and simpler.
When Husbands Lose Their Jobs via Glenys
It won’t come as a surprise to my regular readers to know I fully support the so-called “traditional” roles of man and wife. Tradition, of course, is the less important part in this; traditions might change, while God’s plan for us never does, and He was the one to command Adam to work in the sweat of his brow, and Eve to bear children. So of course it’s natural for the woman to take care of the nest and the family. But of course, we all know things might not go according to our initial plan.
Health Facts: Cantaloupe by Katie
Anti-coagulant: A unique compound in cantaloupe helps decrease the viscosity of the blood, hence preventing the abnormal formation of blood clots in the cardiovascular system. Arteriosclerosis: Regularly consuming vitamin C retards the development of hardening of the arteries. Cancer prevention: The high vitamin C content acts as a good anti-oxidant that protects cells from damages by free radicals. Regularly drinking juices high in anti-oxidants keep cancer at bay, especially against intestinal cancer and melanoma.
Journaling For Generations by Rachel
Journaling… it’s something that everyone should do. When I hear that word, it makes me think of a young lady, sitting in a quiet spot, pen in hand and head bent over her writing. Unless I am at a stage where all I want to do is write, I must have peace and quiet to write anything at all. My journal is not just a record of my moods and thoughts, but also a record of our daily lives, through my own eyes.
Just How Happy Are You? by Tiffany
A friend asked me a few weeks ago to rate my happiness on a scale of one to ten. She wanted to know not how happy I was that day, but rather at what kind of level of happiness I lived on a daily basis. I only had to think about it for a few seconds before replying, “I’d have to say I’m at an 8 most of the time.” Her eyes immediately opened wide and surprise covered her face. “Why?” I asked, “How would you rate yourself?” Her face saddened as she said, “Probably a two.”
Everyone Is A Missionary by Jacque
When we made our plans to move to Costa Rica public online, the common question was: Are you going to be missionaries? The simple answer before we left and even when we arrived was NO. Here is our belief about missionary work: we believe that every person called by YHVH is called to share Scripture and build relationships with everyone they meet. We are called to share him, Torah and Messiah with everyone…
