The Love Affair that Changed Our Marriage

The Love Affair that Changed Our Marriage
I’ve actually never confessed this to my husband. I was so concerned that he would have an affair- that I contrived to have one myself! It all started many years ago... Several of my friends found out that their husbands were having affairs. My heart broke as I saw each family devastated. I got paranoid about my own husband. Paranoia consumed me until finall[...]

The Honeymoon Life

The Honeymoon Life
We live on a farm and have weddings in our barn, every weekend!  Marriage, love, weddings and honeymoon conversations are our life!

As You Go this Christmas

As You Go this Christmas
The call came at the worst time. I was driving home in terrible traffic, it’d been a crazy day.  I couldn't wait to get home. My friend on the phone said, “Sharon, I need you to come to the hospital! Dad had a stroke, he’s dying. Come fast.” I got off the phone and groaned, Lord, I’m too tired... I prayed…  His blood pressure was almost gone. His heart rate faint. [...]

She said, “Sharon, can the[...]

You would have thought an anaconda was in my shirt the way I jumped and screamed! Within 10 seconds a mouse jumped right out of the top of my shirt! I’m surprised we didn't both roll over and die right there! People[...]

A Season to Work

A Season to Work
When we were raising our five daughters, we worked hard every day. I thought for sure the next season of life would be easier.  You know... -less work. I've come to realize that as long as I have life in this body, it will be a season to work.  We have a friend on the farm helping  today (Luciano) who just said, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up t[...]

Sunday morning fights. Ugh… Kids fighting, shoes missing, and Dale and I who are usually in crazy love- nearly ready for separation before we walk inside the church on Sunday morning. Yikes! This past Sunday wasn’t a lot different. I wanted to go in late and leave early so as not to touch any of the “sick” folks carrying that horrible flu bug. Yeah it’s the [...]
