A new semester has begun...

And so it begins as a another busy semester. We were able to go to church this morning together and have a quick lunch. Since then, we have been working on our respective lists trying to prepare for a fast approaching Monday that promises to be challenging.

Today at Willow there was a great sermon on the characteristics of a relationship that help determine the success of a marriage. Bill told a funny story about the book that he wrote with his wife about ten years ago. Apparently, a lot of churches use it for their pre-marital counseling workshops even now. Bill said that they have received hundreds of letters thanking them for the book. At this point in the story, I was thinking of all the happy couples who got married because of this book and wrote in to tell their sweet love story. Wrong. All of the couples who broke up and didn't get married were the ones that wrote in to say how much they appreciated the insight. That's a new marketing frame that I wouldn't have thought of...
