I Testified In Court Today

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 5:14 am By Dr. Laurel Shaler

They came easy at first: State your full name for the record How long have you been married? Then they became a bit... Read more

Last updated on: November 20, 2017 at 1:57 am By Dr. Laurel Shaler

Thanksgiving 2017 is here, and I’m left thinking about how blessed I am…and how little gratitude I show.

And while your desires may be different than mine, perhaps you can relate…and maybe these three tips will help you too. 1) Count your blessings.

On the Sacrifices of Veterans and the Importance of November 11th

Last updated on: November 13, 2017 at 1:58 pm By Dr. Laurel Shaler

There’s a beautiful song by John Michael Montgomery about a service member overseas receiving letters from home. He reads each of them aloud to his buddies, as they have all waited for these notes to arrive. The first comes from his mama. The second comes from his girl. The third comes from his daddy. That last one makes him cry. His buddies laughed at his mama’s southern lingo. They laughed at his fiancée calling him “honey.” But they don’t make... Read more

But sometimes accepting a particular season of life is hard. It may be that you do not want the season to end. For example, maybe you’re struggling with your kids growing up.
