one wife’s journey through her husband’s sexual addiction to wholeness and healing
I have been insanely busy lately - my apologies for not writing for the past 6+ weeks. We are preparing to move across country and needless to say, my time is more than well-spoken for right now. This is the last day before the moving truck arrives and as I look around the house, I [...]
One of the blogs in my RSS reader is “Signs of a Struggle,” where Thom relates his challenges with SGA. I appreciate Thom’s writing and his candor about his struggle. A while ago, he wrote about a church in Midland, Texas called Stonegate Fellowship and their Cross Power Ministries Marriage Conference. This Southern Baptist church [...]
Sting wrote the song “If You Love Someone (Set Them Free)” in 1985 in response to the popularity of the previous Police hit “Every Breath You Take,” which was not a love story as the public took it, but the story of a stalker watching and obsessing over his prey. He was chagrined at how [...]
I had queried a few weeks ago whether it would be any easier to do the Cardboard Testimonies the 2nd and 3rd times… and the answer is a resounding “No.”
It was still completely worthwhile, but to do it at the northern campus of our church this past Sunday was still hard. It was hard to [...]

David Bowie’s song “Changes” from the “changesONEbowie” album of 1984 seems to explain much of our lives right now. I’m pretty sure it’s not how Bowie intended [...]
So apparently, the Haggards have been in the media lately - they did a documentary with a pay-per-view cable company, were on “Oprah,” and have been written up in various magazines, newspapers, and the rest. I’m relatively unplugged from the mainstream media, but one thing that I do read with semi-regularity is Charisma magazine, [...]
We have a family of foxes living in our backyard. Yep, it’s like Animal Planet over here - rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, a groundhog, deer, and now a mama fox & 4 kits. It’s cool to watch, no question - but it’s also brought a bit more clarity to the Scriptural idea of “little [...]
Of all the things on this journey that I didn’t expect, it has been the depth of sheer anger and rage I have at a man who has been dead nearly 20 years. I am a natural redhead and have borne jokes through the years about my supposed anger. The truth is that I’m really [...]
In the midst of this trying time in our lives, we attended a meeting last Saturday that was imminently encouraging and infused me with all sorts of hope. And that’s a nice feeling to embrace - it seems like it’s been a while since I have.
Our church is in the forming/planning stages of a Recovery [...]
My husband and I had our first Theophostic meeting last week and I’ve pondered how to describe it and write about it for a full week now. I’m really glad we went and we’ll be going back next week. God completely showed up and met us there - and let’s face it: He didn’t have [...]
