We tried to behave as we thought people expected us to behave, covering up the sadness. When asked how I was doing, my answer was always “Fine!” and I was quick to change the subject to something else. My husband, Mike, deserves a lot of credit. He was grieving his child while trying to shoulder the burden of a wife who was…

Sharing the Gospel Well

by Nathan Tintle
…a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom…

Weathering Storms in Marriage

…any given situation is not just different, it’s wrong. We want someone to commiserate with. Someone who “gets us” (sometimes going as far as to try and match compatible personalities on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and put our faith in “armchair philosophy” instead of the infinite knowledge of a loving God). We often long for someone to sit in the corner and pout with us, but God in his wisdom put people in our lives to temper us. Our spouse m…

It was, as he puts it, a mystery or an enigma, a riddle that had to be acknowledged and wrestled with.
