Photo  by  Shelley Panzarella  Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. – Ecclesiastes 9:10 NLT Have you ever wondered why you got married? Really, why do we get married, and why did you get married? Was it because it’s what people do, or what was expected of you and the next obvious thing to do in the cycle of life?

 (Photo by  Dorron ) Strong winds of between 60 – 70mph have been beating the South of England this morning. I woke up in the night and had a look out the window to check everything was still standing. And as I did, a thought came to me that if I was well prepared for the stormy winds, I would be sleeping still, and not peeping out of the window. That led me to ask myself, how do I prepare for the storms of life? Indeed, How does one prepare for the storms of life…and of marriage? Will your anchor hold in the storms of Continue reading →

My beloved is mine and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies –  Songs of Solomon 2:16 KJV One person I admire a lot is Victoria Beckham. Not because of her famous pout, her fashion sense, her ability or inability to sing, but for the manner in which she has been able to keep her family and her marriage.
