    Well What Did You Expect (Pt. 2 of 2)

    02/10/201610/08/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold & Bette Gillogly Remember in our last Seeds for Growth, we found out there were two roads leading to two entirely different places.  The first road is paved with “ought to be’s” – my wife ought to be….  My husband ought to be….  My children ought to be….  This road leads to a […]

    Well What Did You Expect (Pt. 1 of 2)

    01/15/201610/08/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold & Bette Gillogly We all came into marriage with expectations — some realistic, some not so realistic.  “My wife ought to be like Carol Brady.”  “My husband ought to be like Ozzie Nelson.”  “And my children ought to be like Beaver Cleaver.”  But soon after the vows are said, reality sets in. REALITY […]

    Freedom to Fail

    11/15/201510/08/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold & Bette Gillogly The teacher was blunt, her words cruel.  “He has too many learning disabilities.  It’s a waste of time for him to even attend school here.”  Later, Ralph Showers overheard his Grandmother soothing his parents with this great declaration. “I don’t know what people think of Ralph. But I know what […]

    Overcoming Defensiveness Pt. 2

    08/18/201510/09/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold and Bette Gillogly In a previous Seeds For Growth, we began discussing defensiveness — our instinctive reaction of self-protection.  We seem to go through life feeling we must protect ourselves at any cost. When our mate says something that pushes one of our hot buttons, we lash out in retaliation. Defensiveness is a […]

    Overcoming Defensiveness (Pt. 1 of 2)

    08/01/201510/09/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold and Bette Gillogly It’s instinctive.  We all do it.  Our mates say something perfectly innocent, we take it personally and become defensive. It’s as though we feel we must protect ourselves at any cost.  In fact, that’s what “to defend” means: to protect.  The problem is that protecting has two sides, for when […]

    Here We Stand

    07/15/201510/09/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    Martin Luther’s famous words as he stood before Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire – “Here I stand. I can do no other” – echo loudly for every Christian now that the US Supreme Court has ruled that homosexual marriage is a civil right. The Emperor expected…demanded…that Luther recant his belief that only […]

    Ebenezers vs. Mental Monsters

    06/01/201510/09/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    by Harold and Bette Gillogly I’m stopped at a red light.  I glance in the rear view mirror.  A man in a dark blue uniform is getting out of the white car behind me and walking up to my window.  My heart drops into my stomach as I roll down the glass.  The man in […]

    Respect and Love (Pt. 1 of 2)

    01/17/201510/02/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    Have you ever wondered why the Bible commands husbands to love their wives and turns around and commands wives – not to love, but to respect their husbands? (Ephesians 5:33) If you have been out and about lately you have probably heard of Dr. Emerson Eggerichs who wrote the book Love and Respect, and conducts […]

    The Battle for the Mind

    01/16/201511/11/2020 Harold Gillogly No Comments

    Look out!  Danger!  You’ve got an enemy who is ready to pounce like a lion on the hunt.  And you look mighty tasty to him.  Scripture says your enemy wants to devour you.  To eat you up!  (1 Peter 5:8) Does he want to nibble on your nose?  Does he want to nibble on your […]
