Your Marriage is What You Think

Dr. Harold — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:18:15 +0000

As I contemplate what makes marriage work, it is no surprise to me that I come back to the way we think. What comes to your mind when you think about your marriage?

What’s Your Plan B?

Dr. Harold — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:13:35 +0000

Married life is often full of second-guessing—especially when things fail to turn out like we had planned. We thought God was directing a decision only to watch things fall apart.

How to “Outlive your life”

Dr. Harold — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:12:22 +0000

I was enamored with the title of Max Lucado’s latest book, “Outlive your life”. I imagined that this book was going to inspire the pursuit of God-ordained purpose. I expected a cheerleader on how to make our lives transcendent—leaving a legacy of stewardship that remains after our lifetime ends. In other words, I was looking […]

What is the key to success in our lives? We typically attribute “success” to financial wealth, physical health, or maybe a strong family system. It is true that these are all signs of success. But, do they adequately capture the essence of success? In his book, The Final Summit, author Andy Andrews uses a fictitious […]
