It almost seems strange to even ask that question but Tim Keller’s latest book on marriage entitled, “The Meaning of Marriage” has a lot of people talking.

“When Chris Beall, my new star worship leader, confessed to me that he’d been unfaithful to his wife Cindy—I could have vomited on the spot. Overwhelming emotions flooded my heart. Shock. Disappointment. Anger. Sadness. Questions pelted my mind like hail smashing against a sidewalk during a storm? How did this happen? Why didn’t I see it? [...]

So you may find this hard to believe, but Brandi and I do have moments of intense fellowship now and then. We usually fight over the same stupid things most of you probably fight over. Yesterday when I got home from Cross Point I was starving. I noticed I was about to be served a [...]

I hate bermuda grass. I hate it with a passion. I’ve tried everything to get the stuff out of my yard, but to no avail, it continues to spread. Bermuda grass roots run far and wide and deep. I read the other day they can go as deep as six feet! Leave this stuff unchecked [...]

As many of you know I’m currently writing a relationship series we’re doing this fall at Cross Point. While it’s not a marriage series, it’s led me to think a lot about my relationship with Brandi.
