On Monday, March 9, I had a little “aha!” moment. It happened while I was thinking about the nature of “special” relationships—those beyond the ordinary, especially romantic ones.

The Covenantal Nature of Special Relationships
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009Dr. Scott Stanley on Marriage
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008Well, several days later, here we are again on the marriage topic — two posts in a row! This post contains links to several articles that are a bit old, from July and August of 2007. But just today I rediscovered the articles in a long neglected folder of links I had set aside to check out at a later time. And the articles are really great — if you like practical, grounded Christian articles on relationships, with a dash of humor.
All four articles are interviews with Dr. Scott Stanley at Focus on the Family, who is introduced in the first article below. If you are single and looking, single and not looking, married with single friends who are (or are not) looking, or just want to be more informed about singleness and how to end it successfully, read on. The articles are geared more towards single men than single women, but both may find Dr. Stanley’s points interesting and enriching to their relationships. (more…)

Marriage in Heaven?
Sunday, September 30th, 2007The kickoff event for 3ABN’s Fall Camp Meeting was a question and answer session. There were a number of questions taken from the audience, and answered on live television by a panel of 3ABN presenters.
One of the questions was, Will there be marriage in heaven? Various answers were given. The best answer, in my opinion, was the one by Stephen Bohr. (I can’t quote him from memory, so if you missed it you’ll just have to order the DVD, or wait for a rerun.)
UR INVTD
Thursday, April 26th, 2007With one of my coworkers, Adam, getting married very shortly, my thoughts turned to the innumerable details that swarm from the very mention of the word, “wedding.” Of all the elements that make for a successful wedding, perhaps none captures the attention of the graphic designer as the wedding announcement and invitation. Should that glad day eventually wend its way into my plans, I am sure that designing a fabulous and memorable card will be high on my priority list.
Unfortunately, for many brides- and grooms-to-be, it is also a burdensome expense. Sending custom cards to hundreds of potential attendees, as well as to those you full well know will not attend but would be mad if you didn’t invite them, can cost no small sum. This started me thinking about alternatives. Not that I would use these myself (honest!), but perhaps someone will find a lifesaver here.
