Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child.

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.

Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.

I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.
