Mondays momentum

Diane and I have had some very good talks over the past 34 years we have been married and that doesn't include the times before we were married. I guess one of the reasons we have survived this long is we cherish each others company. And we have learned to respect each other for who we are as God created us. So many couples think they can make it without God in thier lives, but they don't know that they are only exicting and not developing into the couple that God has planned for them to be. It's kinda like Christians who get saved so they can go to heaven and that's it, they are not willing to go any farther. They have become comfortable so leave me alone I have another movie to watch. Here's the problem often; what men are into is often not what wives need. When HE makes work or some other pursuit HIS top priority, something inside HER withers, and then dies. When SHE makes the children, work, or someother pursuit HER top priority, HE begins looking for something to numb the pain in HIS heart. couples drift apart unless they remain each others top priority. No matter where your marriage stands today, making each other top priority will always make it better.

We have to choose to make it better by first allowing God to be the head of our marriage. It is so good to know that Diane loves God more than our children or me and that's vise versa. Cause when we Love God first as Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and Hid righteousness then all these thing will be added unto to you as well.

The men's retreat at the ranch this weekend will be a time of fellowship and seeking How we can better serve our God as Husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, employers and friends. See you there!!!

ps There will be a lot of great food.

Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. Many would like to just try a new skill or trade. We are a faith based training center. Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you. God Bless You and Your Family!!!
