“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” —Ephesians 5:25
Like you, I’ve tried to teach my sons to become men who love their wives well. But this thing is too important to leave to their remembering. Just in case they miss something, I want them to have the heart of my guidance in their hands.
So I have decided to write a letter to my sons.

One day while I was driving, another driver ran into my car—and then sped off! It was a minor thing in the big scheme of life, but it was a real challenge to me. Every time I looked at my banged-up car, I felt frustration, helplessness, and loss. I dreaded the inconvenience of getting my car fixed and paying the expense, but eventually I had to.
I hadn’t done anything to deserve the damage, and the other driver was long gone. But if I left my car banged up, I would always be reminded of what happened that day. I had to fix the car in order to put the situation behind me and move on.

The tomb is empty! We worship and serve a living Savior! As we celebrate that good news this Easter season, it’s important to remind ourselves what that empty tomb really means. What are the implications for us that Jesus indeed has risen from the dead? The Bible describes several, including:
1. Because He has conquered sin and death, those who believe in Him will also live.
Jesus said to [Martha], “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26).

Do you ever look around your house and see so much disarray and feel so behind on chores that you feel like you might just want to throw it all in a dumpster and start over?
I know the feeling. As a busy woman, trying to keep up a home can feel overwhelming, to say the least. When our house is a mess, we feel even more out of control. It can be a discouraging cycle. I know, because I've been there!

What is the spiritual state of the American church?
I fear that we in the West are becoming so seriously morally compromised that we will find it increasingly difficult to withstand the attacks that are coming against the church—both from secularism in general and the spread of Islam. We are yielding ourselves and compromising with regard to the values that nibble away at our single-minded commitment to Jesus Christ. More

I have been working at Harvest House for 13 years in August. As the Accountant at HH, I produce reporting as well as the monthly financial statements for the company. My favorite thing about working at HH is the sense of family here. There are times of joy, times of sorrow, as well as, times of chaos, which are all things we as individuals deal with in our own immediate families. The people I work with here are one of the other things I enjoy about HH. This company is full of compassionate, caring, and understanding individuals which today is sometimes hard to come by in the working world. Harvest House is an enjoyable place to be each day. People might be surprised to know that I have known my husband since grade school. We attended the same grade school, he then moved around with his family while his father worked, and came back to attend part of middle school and all of high school here in Eugene. We began our relationship in 2001 and we have now been married 10 years this August and have 3 wonderful children.
