Great book for those who feel along in their marriage
Quote from Susie Larson’s book, Alone In Marriage.
How often when wounded by someone else’s sin, do we sin by our response to them?
. . . the Christian life is like a winding country road with deep ditches on each side. One side represents outright rebellion, the other our response to someone else ’s rebellion. The Devil could care less which ditch he gets us into, he just wants us off the road.

Thinking the weight is too great? Almost every marriage goes through a time when one spouse has to carry more…emotionally, spiritually, financially, and even physically. Susie Larson walks through that time with you, showing you which weights need to be thrown out, which ones are refining you, and which ones are strengthening you.

A new daughter in my family
July 12, 2007 | family
Will you marry me?
The answer is yes!
While I was in ICRS, I received a fun phone call. Ryan, my son, had just proposed at 1,000 feet to his beautiful girlfriend, Kristin, in a hot air balloon.
She’s beautiful. She’s kind. She loves the Lord, and she loves 
my son. How cool is that?
It’s a gift, getting to open your heart and family to another person.
Welcome, Kristin, to the Eller family. We love you.
On a personal note, with one wedding just completed (Leslie’s), Ryan and Kristin are planning theirs for next March. We’ve always done everything in threes. That’s what happens when you have twins when your oldest is still one year old. This is proposal and wedding number three for us–all in just over two years.
But the reality is that I’m blessed. As a cancer survivor of almost 16 years, I’ve been able to be a part of all three of my children’s weddings, and that’s a gift of incredible portion.

Home again
I returned home today from Atlanta. Perhaps the best highlight was connecting with a new friend. Kay Arthur, a woman I respect as a Bible teacher, an author, and a speaker, and I ate breakfast together (at the Harvest House booth) and she is an anointed, gracious Biblical woman.
I love the fact that millions of books sold, and world-wide travel, and fame have not touched her heart to minister and mentor.
She had some wisdom to pass on to me, and I was grateful to receive it. Don’t we all need that? Someone who has walked before us to show us what they’ve learned?
Thanks, Kay, for showing me that example.

Atlanta
I’m leaving today for Atlanta. ICRS is a favorite time of the year for me.
Imagine that you love candy, and once a year you get to attend a conference 
where all the new candies are rolled out for everyone to taste, and to take home.
That’s what ICRS is to the booklover. I’ll meet my favorite authors and musical artists. I’ll sit under the speaking of my favorite speakers. I’ll be immersed in training as an author and speaker. I’ll do media interviews and booksignings for my 2007 books. I’ll connect with my wonderful publishers.
And I’ll spend lots of time with really close friends in the industry. ICRS is the only place that I get to do that.
It’s a writers’ paradise–at least I think so. (more…)

Love this. . .
July 5, 2007 | quotes
“When we seek out that which is lost, we are loving our neighbor as we love ourselves and valuing people as God values them. If we as the Church keep this as our core focus and mission, we will never become an empty building or mere tourist attraction. We will be so occupied and fulfilled with doing what the Church was placed on this earth to do – taking what is inside the Church out into a broken world – that our doors will never close. The lost will be drawn to us because of our open arms and our loving, safe environment. - Christina Caine, Stop Acting Like a Christian, Just Be One (Regal, 2007)

Active Christian Media broadcast: The Mom I Want to Be
I got to hang out with Stacy Harp at Active Christian Media. We were supposed to talk for 15-20 minutes, but it turned into 45. Isn’t that how it works? You start talking with a new friend and time flies.
Listen to this broadcast right now.
Stacy and I talked about dealing with a painful past, why forgiveness is more healing than we realize, how to give your children great memories than you received and much, much more.

“Ten years, Suz,” he said.
Wow. Ten years. It didn’t seem possible.
You see, ten years ago my friend tried to take his life.
