Hubby and I married 19 years ago today after four years of friendship-oddship. When we met, we were 27. Ready to settle down, tired of the Christian AND non Christian dating scene. I travelled around the country and world training newspaper editors and reporters, and classified advertising reps how to use my company’s computers for daily production. He was the …

The depths of love

I posted before on owing no one anything except love. Paul wrote to the Roman church, “don’t run up huge debts, except the huge debt of love you owe each other.” Lately I’ve been meditating on true, real, heart issued love.

Our found dog’s owner called today. She described her perfectly and when I repeated her name, “Lola,” the little Schnauzer perked up. So, my Fifi is a Lola. The owner said she’d be by in the afternoon to pick her up. I said, “No worry, we’ve loved having her. She’s a great dog.” My comment opened the door I’d hoped …

The other day while reading through verses for prayer, I came across this one. “Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.” One translation refers to the “debt of love.” We are indebted for so many material things in this life – cars, houses, “toys,” maxed out credit cards …
