The Drama of Christmas: A Story of Unexpected Pregnancies, Teenage Moms, and Divine Light
Is your Christmas season feeling devoid of resounding joy?
Growing Your Long-Distance Relationship
My husband and I have been cohabiting for a little more than a year now, and it’s been such a delight to see him as much as I have. Crazy, huh?! It was unusual for me to see him so regularly! In the past year, there were a handful of instances that the military took him away —about three months total—but, there would be long spans of time that he spent at home. I knew we would get to this point eventually and made every minute apart during our long-distance relationship worth it. Before we got married (and even shortly after our courthouse wedding), we had a full-on long-distance relationship.
Embrace Your Change
Change. Some like it, some don’t. Some plan for it, others are surprised by it. It doesn’t matter if we’re prepared, looking forward to it, or blown away by it—sometimes it’s just hard to embrace your change.
Supporting Gold Star Families
I’ve been teaching classes on the military installation lately, and I’m often amazed by how little the military population knows about Gold Star Families. I believe one of the first steps to be supportive of them is to understand the terminology. The second way is to lend your time and or talents to the cause.
Cultivating Kindness
Ah, February. The month of love and candy and stuff. I’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s Day, mostly because taking a special day to tell people that you love them seems really silly. Shouldn’t we be sharing love and kindness every day?
What Do You Love about Military Life?
What do you love about military life? Think about it for a minute.
Think longer if you need to.
What do you specifically love about this very complex, often isolating, sometimes frustrating life? Sometimes, especially lately, it takes longer for an answer to spring to my mind, but it always does.

I’ve been blessed to be married to my wife for almost 20 years. It hasn’t always been easy; we work on it all the time.
