Mark Gungor and laughable sex

Recently, (yes, I know you are not supposed to start a sentence with an adverb...I don't care) my wife and I went on a marriage retreat. The guy leading the retreat was a great guy, but he came carrying DVD's. I'm thinking...we hired this guy and he's going to show us DVD's of someone else?...and yes he did.

Here's the thing. The guy on the DVD was great! His name is Mark Gungor and his website is http://www.laughyourway.com/. His DVD based marriage seminar is called, "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage."

It made me realize two really important things as I try to help others in their marriage. First, I have nothing on Sex and Mark has some really good stuff. Second, I'm just not that funny. Ah...more to work on.

It really is great stuff and that's no copout!

Thanks for reading

Ashley Judd and Wow!

Above is a link to an interview with Ashley Judd on the Today show from last Tuesday. It's really remarkable the things she has been through and the work it sounds like she does. It's funny (not ha, ha funny) that she sounds very politically correct when discussing different things. For instance she talks about, "God, as I know him." I guess it's really sad in a way. Not because she couches some of her language in what some might consider political correctness, but because some will discount what she says because of it. Her book sounds like it contains a very powerful story. Without reading it myself I am going to recommend it simply based on this interview. If you have been through some of the things that she mentions (growing up in an alcoholic family, neglect, sexual abuse) I think this book may speak to you. Good reading.
