Renee, how is it that your ministry WIFEBOAT came about? My husband, Joe Dallas, has worked with men for over 20 years with men who have wrestled against sexual brokenness –whether it’s been pornography, homosexuality, adultery—and for every man who has come for help there’s a hurting, confused and shattered wife who needs help and support. Sexual sin is not just about the man who is struggling with it—it’s about a marriage in trauma. I have run support groups through the years, but WifeBoat is a teaching blog resource and a way for women Continue Reading

The mystery continued until Governor Sanford returned, finding more reporters waiting for him at the airport. Continue Reading

Women Are Like That
Here's the eleventh commandment: Thou shalt have a sense of humor! I thought this movie trailer from a 30's movie might be entertaining! Women Are Like That portrays a "libertine" wife having to be taught to behave by her husband. I'll bet many of us wish the roles were reversed here, don't you? I know many a woman who'd like to KO her husband so he'd behave. Ah... if it were only as easy and breezy as a light romantic comedy. But, seriously, how do you keep your sense of humor in your present circumstances? I'd like to know. Let's Continue Reading
