#618 - Excerpt from Epic, The Story God is Telling by John Eldredge

"God creates us in his image, with powers like unto his own - the ability to reason, to create, to share intimacy, to know joy.  He gives us laughter and wonder and imagination.  And above all else, he endows us  with that one quality for which he is most known.  He enables us to love."

#615 - Choose to Love

There are times in a marriage that you may wake up and not feel in love anymore.  Choose to love anyway.  There are times when you may not be attracted to your spouse anymore.  Choose to love anyway.  Marriage is a commitment.  In sickness and health, in good times and bad.  Those vows you take are sacred.  They don't say "if you have bad times."  They say "in good times and in bad," implying that there will be bad time.  It's inevitable.  Choose to love anyway; your spouse is worth it.

-Love Dad

#612 - Read

Read, read, and then read some more.  New stuff, old stuff, classics, all kinds of reading materials.  The more you read, the better prepared you'll be, the better you'll be able to communicate, the better you'll do in school and in life.
