The Explosion in Men’s Jewelry Is Breaking All the Old Rules Original
12 min read It takes three security checks to get into a room that holds a billion dollars in jewels. Badge, photo ID, badge again. And then, there you are: a high-security vault, except it is more than eighty thousand square feet, with twenty-eight-foot ceilings. This was the exhibition space inside the Wynn Las Vegas, which every year hosts two of the jewelry trade’s biggest events. The first thing that hits you is the scale. It’s room after huge room full of dealers and connoisseurs.
What Would It Take to Meet New England’s Climate Mandates?
Maine Mall and its parking lots, seen from above. My estimate for Maine’s ground-mounted solar projects covers about 160 times this area. Election Day is less than six weeks away. Suppose the ballot asked you to approve more than 100 million solar panels and 2,700 wind turbines across New England, at a construction cost of $300 billion to $500 billion. Would you vote for it? Before I voted, I’d want to know how much land and ocean this would take.

The Untold Story of BOB, the World’s Greatest Sparring Partner Original
8 min read There’s a sparring partner at the dojo where I train Jeet Kune Do and Filipino martial arts who is unlike anyone else. There’s something about him that just makes you want to smack him. Maybe it’s the condescending grimace, or the perfectly molded hair, or the way he stands there—silent, stoic, unflinching—daring you to take your best shot. I see him every day. Multiple times a day. And I’m not the only guy who has hit, kicked, stabbed, or shot at him.

So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the woman you married — pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. Why should you give your love to another woman, my son? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife?

People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit.

Bad Marriage Communication? ( I'm not the problem . . . am I? ) How to Listen & Be Heard
Are you quick to listen? Are you genuinely eager to hear your spouse share what is on her heart or is your marriage just another opportunity to insist that someone else listen to what you are determined to say? What does the way we communicate say about who we really are? We don’t have to cast about for the best way to communicate. The Bible already tells us: Be quick to listen and slow to speak.
The Simple, Powerful Path to a Loving Marriage (and GIVE-AWAY of Faithful Man/Woman Wristbands!)
By the time he was 16, he was very familiar with cars. Through his twenties, they were an everyday part of his life. Even so, when I met him, he still didn’t know how to drive. He was born and raised in Manhattan. There was never a need for him to own a car and learn to drive so, he never did. Just because you’re familiar with vehicles doesn’t mean you know how to drive one. And then there are those who have been driving for years but are poor drivers – they never learned well.
Gratitude: Are You Meeting the Deep Need in Your Wife's Heart?
Are you grateful for your wife? Most husbands that call themselves “Christian” (maybe most husbands, in general) would answer ‘yes’ to this question. “Of course I’m grateful for her!” Does your wife know you are grateful for her? Does she know you sincerely appreciate her and all she does for you, your kids, and your home? Those same husbands will likely still answer ‘yes’ but with a little less confidence.

What is Your Marriage Saying to Everyone Who Knows You? Matt & Lisa Interviewed by Aaron & Jennifer Smith
If you ever make it to Bend, Oregon, be sure to take a stroll through Drake Park. Lisa and I will often stop by The Lemon Tree for lunch then take a walk around the park by the river, holding hands. Seems that every time we’re there, people smile approvingly at us. The fact is, we like each other! We like spending time together – doing “normal” life together.
What Does It Mean to Be a Faithful Man?
What if the world were filled with faithful men . . . faithful to God, to their wives, and to their children? Men like that are in short supply these days, even in places where everyone claims to love God. Even in Church, among “believers” it’s common to hear of men who have been unfaithful and of the destruction that follows. It’s not a new problem.
When Trust Is Broken - From Conflict With Others to Restored Relationships
Conflict in relationships – we hate that, don’t we? Most people would rather have a root canal without anesthetic than deal with conflict. Yet, relational difficulties are a reality of this life, aren’t they? At some point, someone is going to give you offense . . . or . . . you are going to offend someone. These can range from very minor to outright sin. Trying to deal with it directly often just results in a contentious, angry, acrimonious exchange without any resolve. Who wants that?

The Aphrodisiac Every Christian Man Should Use
Many men spend years wishing their wives would be more responsive. Why doesn't she show more interest in, or desire for me in bed? Many men spend years wishing their wives would be more responsive. Why doesn't she show more interest in, or desire for me in bed? (She has her reasons, guaranteed) but your frustration builds. Not only is a sense of deprivation gnawing away – emotional distance between you grows. And then there's the anger . . . like molten lava, bubbling up to the surface.
Don't Make This Mistake in the Bedroom
It's natural to think that your body belongs to you. After all, you're the one living in it, right? It's natural to think that your body belongs to you. After all, you're the one living in it, right? But natural and biblical thinking often conflict. According to the Bible, your body (if you're a married Christian) has two other owners. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost . . . and that you are not your own?

I'm Watching You Daddy & Mommy {What We Teach by How We Live}
It’s the one thing no parent can avoid. Thoughtful fathers do it. Deadbeat Dads do it. Neglectful moms are actively involved in it. Loving mothers do it. If you’re a parent, you’re doing it. You are discipling your children. Many parents might be tempted to look over their shoulder wondering if this reference is for the person standing behind them but, no. It’s applies to you and to me and to every parent. Purposeful or not, discipleship is taking place in the lives of your children. What is Discipleship?
