I opened my weekly interview series up to my readers last week. What an awesome idea! I got some great response. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share two each Tuesday. Look for another one later today.

I am tired of watching marriages fall apart. What breaks my heart most is when two wonderful people allow temptation to overtake them and fall into the sins such as adultery or pornography. I wish I could say it was rare, but it happens every day. I have seen and believe that marriages can be fully restored from these times and even made model marriages after them, but the goal should be to keep either spouse from reaching this point.
Obviously there is far more than what I will share here to learn about public speaking, and I’m certainly not an expert, but a few of the things I learned I have tried to incorporate into my public speaking. Here are 7 basic reminders for public speaking:
Several months ago, I wrote a blog post about my father. Today I’m re-posting part of that post. Yesterday my father peacefully passed from this earth into the presence of His Savior.

I have been asked numerous times about a seeming contradiction in the Bible. Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, wrote that we are to “pray about everything” (Philippians 4:6), “pray continually”, (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and “be in constant prayer” (Romans 12:12). Paul seems to have believed that something in us could live in a state of continual prayer and that we should keep talking repeatedly to God.
Perhaps that’s your story today. The journey has gotten much harder than you expected and the days ahead seem unbearable. Some days you would just rather quit trying.
