Every Summer we see an upsurge in weddings, which only makes sense. The weather is more condusive to a great honeymoon and many people have vacation time coming. Much time goes into the planning of the wedding…and hopefully as much or more time is spent planning for a successful, Christ centered marriage. Here are a few books that might help, if you or a loved one are planning that special even this year! I think most of these are clickable…
New Video Trailer for my book on YouTube—I have a new video trailer up and running on YouTube for my book. It’s only one minute long and I need to do a tiny bit of tweaking yet, but it’s up and running. I’m hoping you’ll stop by to view it and maybe leave a comment or rank it, to help it along?

Let’s just say I’m a little bit excited and maybe you can imagine what that means, after you read on….. My agent got a call from the major motion picture studio (which has to remain unnamed for now, but trust me, you’d know it if you heard it…) that had expressed an interest in reading my manuscript a couple of months ago. The rep read it and really liked it…in fact, she stated that it was an inspiring read, she…

Onlookers at the national air show notice smoke billowing from the back of his Navy jet. On the radio, his superior pleads for Johnny to save his life. “Bail out, Johnny, Bail out! You’ve still got time!” His superior shouts through the receiver. But Johnny doesn’t make his move. He knows…
A “Miracle” Across the Street by Dave Boehi Perhaps you’ve heard people use the phrase, “It’s a God thing.” They’re talking about experiences where they’ve seen God move in the hearts of His people … or answer specific prayers … or bring unbelievers to the point where they understand their need for salvation. I love hearing stories like that, and here’s one I found recently from Kent Hughes, now the senior pastor emeritus at College Church in Wheaton, Ill. To…

“Lust, Love, & Loyalty” by Dave Boehi This Article is reprinted from www.FamilyLifeToday.org web site. How many people cheat on their spouses? What makes them do it? Do they regret their infidelity? These were some of the questions raised in a recent MSNBC.com/iVillage survey on “Lust, Love & Loyalty.” And though the number of cheating husbands and wives may not be as great as some people would predict, it’s common enough to constitute a serious problem in our culture. But…
A family at our church is in urgent need of prayer support. The husband and father, a man in his early forties, was killed in a motorcycle accident today on the way to see his grown son. I don’t have any other details at this time, but know that our pastor went to be with the wife and daughter (a young teen who worships her dad). I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and loss they’re feeling. Please lift…

We’ve laid tile floors, granite tile countertops, travertine/tile showers, trimmed out…
