    Marriage Can Be Fun!

    Like when hubby Ben passes gas, the dogs glare at him and I threaten to repaint. When he snores and you don't keep a roll of duct tape on your nightstand. When he puts a fake snake in your car's driver seat and ... I zip-tied a frilly pair of ladies' panties to his truck's trailer hitch. It...

    When he was at work, I texted him, "How do I cook a 25 pound turkey in the microwave?" He texted back, "I don't know. Google it." I waited for a few minutes. Then he called me and said, "You cannot stuff a 25-pound turkey in the microwave!!! I got him. He finally got it. I don't care who...

    Marriage

    It's so odd sometimes being married. It's like all of a sudden your brain gets tweaked and you worry about the craziest things! I'm married to a cop. I worry about the lunch I packed for him. Is it good enough? So far he loves the lunches (or dinners, depending upon his schedule) I fix. He has...

    Dog Sprayed By Skunk = Remedy!

    My brother-in-law's poor nice black Lab got nailed by a skunk. He called his Mom to see what he could do for her, and she said to go to the local Walmart and get a case of the Massengill vinegar and water ph whatever feminine douche and soak it up all over the dog. Oh my gosh it worked! He did...

    Please Pray For A Dingbat

    This guy was tailgating me and clicking his high beams at me to go faster through an ice storm. I was going slowly because the road conditions were quite icy. He tried to pass me, failed, slipped and slid on the ice and wound up against a tree. I stopped, called 911 and checked on him. He...

    About Hate

    Hate is a horrible, awful emotion. Hate is not to be tolerated, for it overloads us and can lead us away from true Biblical teachings. I have seen some postings here of which I will not speak of which clearly indicate hate. Hate toward God, hate toward an opposing political party, hate toward...

    You Know You're In a Great Marriage When ....

    1. His dog farts and you laugh. 2. You give up organizing his stuff in the bureau drawers. He'll find it anyway. 3. You make the chili really hot like he likes it and make yourself the chili you like that doesn't set fire to your throat and take that to work. 4. He's the gas grill King, but...

    Couples and Love

    I am feeling life going away. I've run out of time, I think. Now I have inoperative tumors and it's hard to breathe. My hubby Ben has been such a help and a blessing. I can say as I have failed, he has stood up and carried on. I think this is what married couples should do. Please, stand...

    Anyone Else Married To A Law Enforcement Officer?

    We Lost A Dear Friend

    A lady who was a dear friend to us all our lives has passed. We attended her funeral and my sister and I sang and played guitar for her. But on the way home, we passed her home and the white wreath on the door just messed me up. I have been in tears all night. I'm so grateful that the last...

    Following Jesus

    Following Jesus is in one way easy, but also quite difficult. Yes it is sometimes easy to forgive folks as He did, and I try hard to be forgiving of folks. I forgive the ones who poke fun of how I dress, I forgive the person who shoots out of the stop sign on the road and gives me the finger, I...

    Philosophy and Ethics As Seen From My Eyes

    Christian philosophy is first, not philosophy. One can be an agnostic with Christian philosophy and not believe in God or the Trinity. We have seen this in other followings, I will not name such for it is against CF rules, as the trend to more of a less judgemental and traditional God is often...
