Hot Tamales

I have a jar of the “Hot Tamales” candy on my desk. These folks kindly sent it to me, and their reason had to do with their area of expertise. Intrigued? Check out this link.

Many Military Families Struggle

I’ve had a lot of stability in my life. We’ve been in Colorado Springs for over 16 years, attended the same church for the entire time, lived in the same house for nine years. There is a certain predictability to our family patterns and a real connection to our surroundings.
Contrast that with men and women who serve in our military. They move frequently, leave loved ones behind as they go overseas for months (years) at a time. They sometimes leave before a child is born, and miss out on that son or daughter’s first steps, first words. Sometimes they never come back.

The challenges a family faces enormous pressures, more than most families encounters.

How about you? Are you in the military? What kinds of struggles has your family gone through?

Here’s a helpful article for those who are fighting for freedom…and their family. And here’s a conversation about what you can do to help strengthen our armed services.

A Jackhammer To The Process

“The California Supreme Court has taken a jackhammer to the democratic process … Four judges discarded the votes of 4,618,673 Californians who approved the state’s ‘Defense of Marriage Act.’ ”

That’s Tony Perkins, who is one of the guests on today’s important conversation hosted by Dr. Dobson. Listen to learn why should you care about the lunacy in that Californian court.

In Love? How To REALLY Know

An age old question that remains a mystery to many younger adults. Check out some answers here.

BTW, thanks to Jeremy and Ellie for the photo op.

If You Are Single

If you single, here is a video of a candid conversation about the expectations many women have about marriage.  Pretty informative!

Why Are You Married?

Here’s a portion of a very good discussion about the design for marriage - knowing how it is supposed to work can make all the difference in the world for a couple.

If You Have These, We Can Help

Common to many marriages, this kind of conflict can be terribly damaging to the relationship. Here’s a man with exceptional wisdom and insight, and he is fascinating, too.

Reflections on Their Loss

Sitting in the studio for this conversation was a great privilege, and a also moving experience. The guests had previously met, but the dynamics of the situation could not be ignored. Here were two families who – by worldly standards – had no reason to be cordial, and their coming together under these circumstances was in itself pretty remarkable.

Here were parents who were joined together in the loss of children to unexpected violence, and united in a common faith built on forgiveness.

Dr. and Mrs. Ronald Murray and Mr. and Mrs. David Works have quite a remarkable story to tell. A lot of people are listening.

A Week Of Love

Where have we been this week? Aside from some server problems and putting some fires out at the office, some excellent radio happening here.

Monday featured a wonderfully touching program about long-term love - in the face of adversity. Everyone I know who heard that show has the same kind of reaction: I hope if I ever face something as difficult as the speaker did that I’ll be able to faithfully and unselfishly love my spouse.

Then a two-day series about how love can survive the heartache and pain of one partner’s infidelity. Here’s a sample response from one listener:

The broadcast today was such a blessing–we have been dealing with something similar for a few years. It was so wonderful to hear someone (with such a hopeful story). Right before I confronted my husband (about his infidelity) I heard a Focus on the Family broadcast that totally changed my approach to him which helped me deal with it in a more godly manner. I’m just so thankful for all the input you put into our family’s life—YOU REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE TO US.

And to encourage couples during their honeymoon years, these guests know how to make the most of those first twelve months. Great ideas, and pretty unique book!

Laughter In The Mountains

A few weekends ago my wife and I were driving in the mountains. I popped a CD of Ellie Lofaro’s message into the player, and we were instantly engaged by her humor. What a great storyteller! She is very effective in making timeless truths relevant to everyday life.

I love to laugh with my wife. That time in the truck, going through the snow-covered Rockies, will be a precious memory. Thanks, Ellie!
