HOW MUCH SHOULD I TELL MY SPOUSE?
Secrets or Transparency in Your Marriage
by Dr. Kevin Downing
Facts and Fallacies of Intimacy: Part 3
This topic of sharing comes back to the issue of boundaries. Remember - the best boundaries are like the semi-membranes of the body. Your kidneys are a good example. They let certain things through and filter impurities out by blocking them.
Your marriage is best when important feelings and concerns get through and reach your mate. Your marriage is protected when you block other feelings that are...

FROM OUR THERPAIST
HAPPY? - HOW'S YOUR ATTITUDE LATELY?
By Frances J. Harvey - Director of Operations
Definition of Gratitude: appreciation, or thankfulness is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.
The Hebrew term for gratitude is 'hikarat hatov,' which means, literally, "recognizing the good." Practicing gratitude means recognizing the good that is already yours.
I remember when I was young there was a song we sang in church called “Count Your Blessings.” When things seemed to get overwhelming in my life or I was feeling sorry for myself and overall just feeling unhappy, I would start to sing that song to myself. (Imagine someone walking around in the mall or store...

MORTGAGE APPROVAL IS NO EASY TASK
By Dian Hymer
Before August 2007, it was common practice for lenders to prepare the mortgage documents for the buyers to sign even though all underwriting conditions had not been met. For instance, the lender might have needed proof that you paid a charge-card account down to a zero balance.
Today, many lenders won't issue the mortgage documents until all of the pre-funding conditions have been met. So, you need to be prepared to provide additional documentation that the lender might request, even if it's....

SERVANT QUARTERS
HOLIDAY CONTRASTS by Gayle Erwin - Pastor, Author, Editor
One and two months later, Thanksgiving and Christmas bring an entirely different mood. Thanksgiving, a totally Christian type of holiday, recognizes that someone greater than all of us provided for us and we gladly honor Him with the words “Thank You.” Christmas carries the Christian theme further and we shop feverishly in order to give, give, give as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. How appropriate!
If you wish to reduce characteristics to the simplest terms, God is a giver and...
