A few years ago, I recall having a conversation with a male friend about a new girl he liked. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask her out?” and he responded, “I figured if she liked me, she’d let me know.” His reply perplexed me then, but now such comments simply make me shake my head. No, she probably won’t let you know. She may be friendly. She may smile a lot in your presence. She may even go out of her way to be in your general path; but, she’s not likely to let you know she likes you unless she’s desperate or “liberated.” Women want (no, make that need) to be pursued. God created women to … [Read more...]

How Far Do You Bend?
Flexibility: it is so easy for some and so hard for others. When I was a child, I struggled so much when plans didn’t go according to schedule. Maybe I didn’t care so much if we ran one errand before another, but I would care greatly if we were supposed to go out for pizza and plans changed.

As I grew up, and especially after getting married, I found that flexibility is a part of being an adult. Without it, you will … [Read more...]
When’s the Last Time You Tried Something New?
Since turning 30 years old, I've found this sudden need to seek out new experiences. I’m not sure if it will pass, but suddenly I have a laundry list of activities I want to attempt – when, at one time, hanging out with friends and watching movies was enough to previously satisfy me. Sitting in the salon the other day, I told my stylist that I had this sudden urge to “change my hair style and jump off of things” (e.g., buildings, mountains, etc.). Her prognosis was that I am going through a mid-life crisis. Hmm... I’m not ready to say that I’m officially middle-aged, but I can’t deny this … [Read more...]
Have You Ever Walked a Mile in Your Sweetheart’s Shoes?
Eric is characterized by having one idea after another. His mind is always working and thinking of new ways to accomplish tasks, new services that can be provided to bless people, or new ways to have fun. For a long time, he would come home from work and immediately share with me the new ideas he had thought of during the day. In his mind, he was simply sharing his ideas (which for someone with his personality is a big deal), but in my mind, he was bombarding me with new tasks that needed to be researched and implemented into our lives. After several years of marriage, I realized that when … [Read more...]
