"That boy had a lot to learn, didn't he?"
Last night. Monday night. Our AMAZING small group night.
Carla and I were doing the usual small group scramble — snacks out, chairs set, trying to breathe for two seconds before everyone arrived.
A couple walked in early.
Before they even sat down, she looked at Carla and said:
"We are absolutely LOVING the book."
Her husband grinned and goes — "That boy had a lot to learn, didn't he?"
I laughed. He's not wrong.
She said they're reading it one day at a time. Day 7. Together.
That's it. That's the whole thing. That's why we wrote it.
Not for stages or seminars. For two people on Day 7 choosing to show up — for the book, for each other, for their marriage.
(That young guy in the photo? He had no idea what he was in for. Best thing that ever happened to him.)
We're sold out at the salon right now — good problem to have.
Fastest way to get your copy is Amazon. Paperback.
At your door in days.

May 4 is International Firefighters’ Day.
I’ve been in the fire service since 1992.
Long enough to see what this job really is… and what it isn’t.
It’s not the pictures.
It’s not the stories.
It’s showing up when it’s your turn.
Doing the job right.
Then going back again next time.
I’ve been blessed to be part of it.
If you know a firefighter, tell them thank you.
Remembering: MH & LS

Just an invite to come see the relaunch.... While you're there make sure to visit the Carla and Caleb sites as well (linked there).
Yes, I can build sites like these for you too!
Most couples don’t need more advice.
They need a blueprint.
Your marriage isn’t broken.
It may just be out of order.
This book doesn’t come from random theories.
It comes from real life.
27 years of marriage.
Five kids.
Real conversations between Caleb and Carla.
The kind most couples are already having…
just without direction.
That’s what this gives you.
30 days.
Short reads.
Clear structure.
Simple steps you can actually follow.
No fluff.
No overthinking.
Just a better way to build.

Did you hear it?
This morning the statewide tornado warning test went out across South Carolina. My @btech_radios with a @zbm2_industries 'Fire Engine Red' Whip received the alert instantly.
A good reminder that every family should have a simple communications plan before severe weather hits.
That’s exactly what I teach.
When the warning goes out, everyone already knows what to do.

Didja know…?
Most of the country can listen to local police, fire, and EMS radio traffic right from a phone or computer.
No radio license.
No special gear.
Just listening.
With this winter storm rolling across a big chunk of the country, that can be a simple way to understand what’s actually happening near you instead of guessing from social media.
Road closures.
Emergency calls.
Weather-related incidents.
It’s not about panic.
It’s about awareness.
If you’ve never used it, Broadcastify makes it pretty straightforward:
/listen/
If this helps you feel a little more grounded during bad weather, that’s a win.
Stay warm. Stay steady.
