It has been awhile. Almost a year, in fact, since I have posted a blog.
How has the year been? If you are like me, it has been busy. In the past eleven months, I have moved office locations, coached a 7 year old softball team to an undefeated season (we didn’t actually keep score), coauthored a book, and worked with a friend on redesigning this blog and website.
If you are new here, welcome. For returning readers, I plan to mix in some past blogs with new ones as I rebuild the archive on the new website. If you haven’t signed up to receive posts by email, check out the Live with Heart box above.
This post is mostly a welcome home to myself. I imagine a blog something like dog. And not just because they rhyme. I do not have to feed or walk my blog, but he’s always at home. Waiting. Regardless of how long I take to come back or whether anyone else cares, he remains loyal and awaiting my return, albeit without a tail to wag. Best of all, an abandoned and neglected blog does not leave a mess on the floor. Good blog, boy.
Here in Tennessee, fall has finally wrestled the keys away from summer. As the leaves continue to turn, I hope to take a few breaks from college football, work, and family (hopefully not in that order) to post more.
In the meantime, please check out the new book, Inviting Intimacy.
The legend goes something like this: In January of 2015, Marian Green emailed me from somewhere in Colorado. She had a story, and a rough draft book proposal.
Her story revolved around a past of promiscuity and a heart which longed for a restored sense of intimacy. She had brought this story into marriage, and like any honest relationship, things got messy. And God worked in the muck. Over five or so years, she wrote about it. In the process of crafting the book, she desired a clinical voice to accompany the story. She emailed me, and nineteen months later, we have a book.
You can read the first chapter for free here.
I’d love your thoughts on the book. Even better, would you write an Amazon review?
We want to get the word out to women who hope to rekindle desire, heal and rewrite shame, and connect intimately.
Marian has quite a story. You might just discover your own through reading hers.
