Laughter is the word of the day. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart does good, like a medicine.” What does that mean? It means that laughter is good for you. Paul McGhee, Ph.D. said, “Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make […]
Smile a While!
Smile is the word of the day. When I was about fifteen I had to have a tooth removed to allow another tooth room to come in. The bottom line was I had a big gap in my teeth. I didn’t look quite like a hockey player, but I […]
Shut up and kiss me!
Some of you are going to really like this and some of you are going to hate this. But since this is primarily about better relationships, bear with me. The word of the day is kiss. That’s right! Kiss. In the same way that research has proven that a […]

The word of the day is goals. Everyone needs goals in their life, marriage, relationships and work. I can remember as a kid going outside to play football with my friends. Whether we were playing in the front yard, the schoolyard, at a park or after church on Wednesday […]

Be Encouraged!
Starla and I were talking about an event that happened many years ago. I couldn’t remember any of the details. I didn’t remember what was said. I didn’t even remember everyone involved. But I did remember the way I felt, and that was not good. That’s why the word […]
