So I'm sick… again. I may have eaten enough chicken noodle soup in the past couple months to spike Campbell's stock up at least fifteen points. For most of the day, I've been sleeping, but in an attempt to not feel completely worthless, I got out of bed and cleaned the kitchen. My husband asked me yesterday to make him a doctor's appointment, so I crawled out of bed to make the call. After I made the appointment, he asked me if I received certain information from the receptionist that he had not originally asked me to obtain (though, he thought I should have already known to do so).

While I’m Waiting (John Waller)
For many of us, waiting is an annoying process. Who among us, if being completely honest, really likes to wait for anything? In American society, if we have to wait more than 60 seconds in a restaurant drive thru, we start to get irritated.

If guys are being serious when they say that they are thinking about nothing, why do women have such a hard time believing them? Well, the … [Read more...]

Early in a relationship, you may not spend a whole lot of time with your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s parents, but as the relationship progresses, it is a good idea to spend a balanced amount of time with them. Why? Because it is important to see how your potential spouse treats his or her parents before becoming engaged.

Encouraging Friends, Part 2
We mentioned in our last post how important it is to have encouraging friends. Without them, it is so much easier to fall into various temptations. Having someone on your side that knows you deeply, knows your struggles, and who is committed to helping you do what is best for your life is a priceless addition to your life. Just as important as having encouraging friends, it is important to be an encouraging friend. This sounds like a no brainer, but it isn't always so easy. When most of us think of encouragement, we think of someone who comes along side us with a bright smile, big hugs, or … [Read more...]
