Are You Trigger Happy?
The more you spend time with someone the more you learn about them. Getting to know what they like, don’t like and what triggers a response from them is important when building a relationship. As husbands we tend to figure a lot of this out during our first year of […]
Fix Your Focus
I love reading the bible. It is full of so much wisdom and life application. I feel like there are so many mistakes I made as an adult that I could have avoided if I had a stronger understanding of God’s word when I was younger. Unfortunately, I can’t jump […]
Navigating the Storm

The Front of Your Jersey
Sports have been a passion of mine since I donned my first jersey for West Branch Little League back in 1982. I remember being so excited when the coach was passing them out and I probably wore it for an entire week. The jersey itself wasn’t anything special to look […]
