one wife’s journey through her husband’s sexual addiction to wholeness and healing
This CPM Conference is good. And hard. And stretching. And hard. Did I mention it was hard? The people of Stonegate Fellowship are so beautiful - their hearts are so loving and their willingness to be servants is absolutely tear-inducing and heart-melting. My husband and I love to serve others, and for whatever reason, it’s [...]
We were at an event last night and I stepped in it. I don’t mean I goofed up for the room to see, but I made a mistake. I engaged someone in conversation and went willingly in to the field, only to stagger back, wounded & hurt.

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.
