Stewards of Children
In the 60’s Bob Dylan wrote a song “The Times They are a Changin”, which still applies today.

Family Friday – Which Language Do You Speak?
Love Languages: Which One do You Speak? Have you ever tried to speak to someone who didn’t know English? Maybe you were in a foreign country or on the phone with someone working overseas? It didn’t matter how hard you tried, how sincere your intentions were, or how loud you raised your voice, the other person just couldn’t understand what you were saying.

But, whether you asked the Black Hole Era Mesaehs or any couple sitting in my office, “What’s love supposed to look like?” the answer you’ll usually get is, “I don’t know, but this ain’t it.”[2] What does love look like? So, if we don’t know what love looks like, how can we know if we “have it?” One psychologist … [Read More...]
