"The reason that marriage is so painful and yet wonderful is because it is a reflection of the gospel, which is painful and wonderful at once. The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope." - Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

Anxiety is fantastical. It is intense belief in a lie! Maybe we should just go with what we know to be true...

Perspective does not determine truth...truth should determine perspective...if truth is truth, shouldn't it always be true?

This totally explains how our perspective determines what we see as "true." Here's to understanding that what is true for me and what is true for you are not different realities, but an opportunity for us to have a conversation and explore where we are both human. -DM

Difficulty is an opportunity not a burden. It is our self-improvement factory. We typically see difficulty as something to avoid. What if we were able to attack the difficult things of life head on, with joy!? Wouldn't that be amazing!

Discipline. When disciplining your children you have to consider the 3 C's: Clear, Calm, and Consistent. Clear. The rules and the consequences to breaking the rules must be clear. Post it so all can see. Calm. You have to stay calm when dispensing the consequences. Take your own timeout if needed. Consistent. You must be as consistent as possible so that learning behavior can take effect. 98% is the daunting goal!
