Romance for Every Day of the
Month
by Nicole Dean
My girlfriends and I were talking. We decided that we needed to

money." The men I've talked with have been frightened off by

Although an occasional diamond necklace or expensive dinner is
appreciated, it is truly the day to day affection that builds
romance and love. <more...>

Wrestling with Your Kids
by Mark Brandenburg MA, CPCC
“Bring it on,” I yelled to my kids. “I’ll pin you both
at the same time!” “You think so?” my daughter
yelled back. “You’re gonna get what you deserve!” My son came
at me from the front, while my daughter snuck around behind me. I
spun to the ground, and was assaulted on both sides. It was only a

Do More! Learn More! Create
More! Live More!
by Mark Cole
Over the years in America and the west generally, the nature and
means of education have dramatically changed. But it is an error to
think that before the contemporary era of schooling on a mass scale
that no one was deeply or broadly educated. Many in colonial America
were exceptionally well-educated, yet largely self-taught or taught
by a tutor or mentor. Such was the case with scientist, lawyer,
theologian, statesman, patriot and father of seven, Roger Sherman.

Journal

Keeping a journal is a great way to gather your thoughts,
capture creative ideas and also to release stress by expressing your
emotions. But sometimes when keeping a journal, you can wind up

time. Lots of dreams, daydreams, memories and goals that you want to
achieve are inside of you - that you can put in your journal. <more...>

righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16

Power Up Your Communication
Through Listening
by Anthony Mullins
The differences between hearing and listening can be as
different as black and white. In our personal lives, ineffective
listening isolates people we care about, and invalidates those
around us. In a professional environment, ineffective listening
involving our clients, staff, and peers leads to failure. On the
other hand, developing the skills of a powerful listener can build a
bridge to success. <more..>
