Love After Marriage

Really?  After?  YES!

We have been blessed since March of 2013, when we participated in Love After Marriage for the first time.  Since that time we've attended three times, attended leader training, facilitated three DVD workshops and can't wait to do more.  What is different about this marriage program?  One word.  Authenticity.  Here's two more.  Nothing Hidden.  It's really that simple, and yet hard.  It is really hard for us to shake off the limitations we put on ourselves through shame and fear.  Will anyone still like me if they knew the "real" me?  Surely not.  The answer is pretty surprising when you try it.  For real. Check out the personal stories (or testimonies) on their website.  www.nothinghidden.com

Here I am....again?

 Here I am, again.  I don't really know why I am here.  Some of the reasons I'm here are the same reasons I've been gone for nearly four years.  Yes, I've been busy.  Yes, I've been needing to write.  So I am going to start again.  Here.  Ready. Set.... naw.  I can't do it.  What am I thinking?  If I start writing again, then I will HAVE to keep it up, and I really don't want something else to add to my already overwhelmed to-do lists.  Poor lists!

There's really no NEED for another blogger.  The internet is already overSTUFFED with them.  Some can write, and some...well, they have nice links. :-)
I can't tell you how many times I've read a post that I thought...they could write this in fewer words or at LEAST SPELL THE WORDS CORRECTLY! (I did really shout that, didn't I?) Or grammar! Stop. The world doesn't need another armchair critic.  At least they are putting themselves out there, right?  Me, I'm scanning the Facebook feed to see what I'm missing out on in life.  Really.  I rarely read any other blogs, because I'm not looking to see the "church face" that people want to display.  You know what a church face is? Right?!  That face that says "I'm ok, so don't ask" :-)  Yeah, tell me how you're making perfectly formed and photographed dishes or crafts while your kids are screaming and dirty and just want a minute of love and attention.  Yeah, I do it too.  My kids know it takes awhile to get Mom away from the screen sometimes. Whether it's Facebook, Kindle Book, or QuickBooks.  It sucks you  into it's web.  The Matrix, I like to call it.  Welcome to the Matrix.  In here you don't know where you are or who you are, really...or do you?
