Here's the Thing...
The thing is, I'll turn fifty-two next month, so I've been having to deal with the sudden realization that my life is almost half over. It's caused me to wonder things like:
Feminism vs. Christian Marriage
Department:
I wonder if Christian wives are generally unable, or just summarily unwilling to see their husbands' situation from his own point of view.
The Face of God
Department:
And when I saw Him for the first time
He looked to me to be a friend.
His gaze upon me felt like sunshine
piercing through the icy wind:
the wind of my soul and its great plans
to make a mark upon this world,
my great intentions and accomplishments
just melted away before His gaze
as I looked
at the face
of God.
I'd never given too much thought
to my ways and how they might compare
The End of My Rope
Department:
My rope is getting shorter
and I fear I'm near the end.
My bridge is overloaded
it will surely break or bend.
The fabric of my being
my fears shall shortly rend,
Yet my life shall still continue
for I've found myself a friend.
Compassionate and loving
He will not let me die
in loneliness and distress
for He has heard my cry.
He comes now to my rescue
though I persist to try
to save myself from trouble
until I finally halt. And sigh.
Not Why I Love my Wife
Department:
"I love my wife because she calls me out whenever I'm wrong, corrects my faults, and keeps me on the right path." ...said no real man, ever.
That's not why a real man loves his wife. So why can't women figure this out? Maybe it's because the men can't even figure it out.
She is My Gem
Department:
Dear Society:
I Can't Say Enough About God
Department:
I dunno… I just find myself at a point in my life where I have this overwhelming sense of awestruck wonder, and words just fail me.
Satisfaction
Department:
Is God satisfied?
Think about satisfaction, and what it is and what it means. In regards to your marriage... what are your requirements for satisfaction? Surely intimacy comes to mind. And, of course, sex comes to mind—perhaps more for the men than for the women.
Holding Her Tight, He'll Never Let Go
Department:
It happened perchance, he met her one day
With a passing glance, she cast a smile his way
An instant attraction, he could not deny
Just a Little More Time
Department:
Just a little more time,
Just a little more time,
'til my Savior returns,
Bringing water and wine.
Then the lemon and lime
Will be sweet as the rose,
And the rifles and swords
Become shovels and hoes.
Thus this battle of sin
Which we find ourselves in
Will be finished that day
When He's vanquished our foes.
Then with Him we'll recline
And together we'll dine
As He writes off our past
