Lysa TerKeurst: The Female Response To Divorce (by: Leah Silverii)

NOTE: I’ve reposted this important article written by my wife that was originally published at a former website on 8-27-2017. Shocked How many of you were as shocked as I was by Lysa TerKeurst’s blog post last week? I can raise my hand high in response. I was more than shocked. But not because Lysa announced she was divorcing her husband of almost twenty-five years because of repeated infidelity and substance abuse. But because her writing was so full of hurt, devastation, nu

Men And Church: We’ve Made Both Disposable

Everytime we walk out of a relationship, we make ourselves disposable. Everytime we walk out of church, we make ourselves disposable. Everytime we walk out on us, we make ourselves disposable. Manly-Go-Round Do you believe we were created to be kings and priests in God’s kingdom? Realizing our value as men is one of our biggest hurdles. We’ve been fed a diet of disposability and now all we can digest is failure, criticism and grudges against others. “…and has made us kings an

March Madness: Day 4 | Some Days Are Diamonds

March Madness: Day 4 Some days are diamonds… Well, you know the old song, but the truth is this little puppy has taught me a lot about life in his few months with us. Loyalty, patience, unconditional love, and tenacity. I laughed when I saw this picture and realized that on any day at any given moment, we could be on either end of this scenario. He takes because we offer, and not for the sake of selfishly taking. We give because we love to give, and not because we expect anyt

March Madness: Day 1 | The Birthday Dash

March Madness: Day 1 It’s March! That used to mean a mad dash to accomplish everything manly before my birthday on the 11th (HINT) – The beauty of getting older is some of the lucky ones get wiser.I’ve been blessed although I don’t deserve it, but it’s nice to be content in life and secure in what God has for you to do. While I’m not certain He wants me at the gym late at night while Leah relaxes on a hydro-massage table eating Tootsie Roll, I am sure that there’s no longer a

16 Days of 31: Falling In The Gap

16 Days of 31: Falling In The Gap I love to study the creation story in Genesis. The dynamics of that time set a generational chain reaction in motion that hasn’t stopped, nor will be stopped until the rapture. The Beginning There’s so much depth to the connection of Adam and Eve. As children, we’re taught a simple illustration of two people happily skipping through the garden until that nasty old serpent tricked Eve into taking a chomp out of the fruit. I guess in a nutshell

15 Days of 31: The Cold, of Cold

15 Days of 31: The Cold, of Cold Leah loves her clothes. The fancier the better. I’ve worn the same pair of blue jeans for the last 3 years. She takes pride in dressing for the occasion. I’m, proud the The Gorilla Glue Company held my loafers together for another week. Gray Days Last night she said it was going to be around 40 degrees and raining in the morning. We each head in different directions to bring the kids to their schools, but she wakes up and leaves about 5 minute

5 of 31 Days: Life In Transit

5 of 31 Days: Life In Transit It seems like we unpack just to repack. To be honest, after last week’s motorcycle adventure, I washed the clothes and set them on the dresser. It’s time to get packed to head out again. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about packing because Leah and I have a system. I stay out of the way. She likes to pack, and since I’m more partial to throwing a business suit into a plastic bag, she’d rather organize the goods. The caveat is that I

Guardians Of The Galaxy: Protect Your Family Time

I LOVE having everyone together. The week days are always so busy with school, work, evening activities like ballet, karate, gymnastics, band, napping (just kidding {kinda}) But, oh my soul, come the weekends, we transform into “Guardians of the Galaxy” protective about sharing time outside the circle of family. Making any family work takes constant effort. Making a blended family work, takes a unique skill set that I’ve found to be both rewarding and maddening. To my friends

Time Marches On: Try Marching Against It

Time Marches On: Try Marching Against It How often do you look at your watch? What are you thinking when your wrist rolls over and that non-stop mechanical face stares back at you with a sequential ticking off of numbers known as time? Does it ignite an action, or calm an anxiety over an impending appointment? Maybe, and most probably, it’s just a habit or a method of marking our progress throughout a day. Seldom do we take time to reflect on the events between the current ti

#HOGWild18: Day 11 – Biloxi, Mississippi to Dallas, Texas. We’re HOME

We’re home! Sorry for the day-late post, but we got in just before midnight last night after a 600 mile day on the bike, and the only thing either of us wanted was to un-numb our behinds and take a shower. We did both of those things, and then crashed, sleeping a solid ten hours. We left Biloxi after noon, and after looking at the weather radar, we decided to travel farther north to avoid as much rain as possible, even though it was a longer ride. We made the right decision,

#HOGWild18:Day 10 – Biloxi, Mississippi (Part 2)

Today’s big question was what did Leah do besides rock out at the Rick Springfield concert with me? I’ll give you 21 guesses. Yes, I made the mistake of introducing her to the game. Like most tasks requiring logic, patience, numbers and a bit of luck, she mastered it. So while I wrapped up some work on a new writing project, she dazzled the crowd with her ability to budge up to the number 21. Also, the lure of ice cream got her away from the table. We know Monday will be an i

#HOGWild18: Day 9 – Biloxi, Mississippi

Today’s post will be short and sweet. It’s day 9, and this is the first time on the trip where we’ve stayed in the same hotel more than a day and we didn’t get on the motorcycle at all. I won’t lie, it was a nice break. We woke up this morning with the intention of renting a cabana and spending the day at the pool. But the weather had other ideas about that. They closed the pool when the thunder and lightning started. Scott and I were already in our bathing suits, so we made

#HOGWild18: Day 8 – Montgomery, Alabama to Biloxi, Mississippi

When I say that not a drop touched us, I’m not kidding. At one point there were dark gray clouds to the left and right of us, and a bright blue strip of sunshine ahead. Prayers are powerful. We hit the road from just outside of Montgomery, Alabama after noon. Our first objective was Cracker Barrel. It was an hour away, so I might’ve edged it over 70 mph a bit. Needless to say, we made it in record time. Leah was very happy to enjoy her meat loaf and then relax in the rockers

Harry In Concert Leah had one objective today. Well, two objectives. One was lunch before nightfall and the second was seeing Harry Connick, Jr’s concert in Charlotte, North Carolina. We barely accomplished the lunch goal, but we thoroughly enjoyed the concert. They say it’s the little things in life. Leah always pays attention to the little details that makes everyone else comfortable. I guess it’s the cop in me, but I have to sit at the end of a row. If I’m stuck in the mid

#HOGWild18: Day 5 – Asheville, North Carolina – Little Switzerland – Blue Ridge Pa

I’ve got to confess that tonight’s post is going to be short. Mostly because Scott ordered me a Lemon Drop martini at dinner, and that makes me super tired. Yes, I’m a cheap date. We slept in a bit this morning because the alarm didn’t go off. Or maybe it got turned off. It’s kind of a blur. But we dragged ourselves out of bed, showered, and I put on my Spanx motorcycle pants. Seriously, they’re awesome and comfortable, and Scott seems to enjoy them tremendously. You should g

#HOGWild18: Day 4 – Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg to Asheville, North Carolina

Leave Me Alone Day 4 was scheduled to be a low-key day of travel through the Smokey Mountains with only about 120 miles of biking. Leah hadn’t slept well since we’d left, so she said sleeping late was her goal. By late, I assumed she meant about 9:00am. I was incorrect. I was up at 8:00am and gave her my usual morning rally cry, “Let’s roll.” Unfazed, and with covers, pillows and an arm covering her face, she replied as usual, “Leave me alone.” So around 11:00am, I tried agai

#HOGWild18: Day 2 – El Dorado, Arkansas to Memphis, Tennessee

Honeymoon We spent our honeymoon a few years ago bicycling from San Fransisco through Sonoma County wine country and along the PCH until we reached Healdsburg, California. As a long time road cyclist, I loved it. Leah, who was not a fan of cycling, actually passed out on the first day’s first serious climb. But, she did survive to go on and finish the tour. I later asked her why in the world would she book a trip like that if she hated cycling, and had spent about the sum tot

7 Churches In Revelation | 7 Messages In Marriage

NOTE: I wrote this article for Faithful ReMarriage Blended Family – Join us over there. The first page in the book of Revelation is usually where most truth-seekers seem to stop. We’ve all heard the stories about end times, but the idea shutters our desire to understand it. Most people refuse to accept the reality that our existence as we know it, will cease to exist.
