Prayers and Marriage

Please pray for the family of Casey Rine, Youth Minister at Levy Church of Christ. His 26 year old sister was killed last week and they have charged her husband with the murder. I can't imagine what the family is going through at this time. They need as many prayer warriors as possible.

"Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Sewell used only 1 bat in his 14-year career and struck out only 114 times in 7,132 attempts. He never was convinced that a newer, more sophisticated bat would improve his play. When he was in a slump, rather than blaming his equipment, he took extra batting practice and focused on his swinging mechanics.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if our nation had that same philosophy towards marriage? When things go sour, rather than looking to get a new partner, we instead would focus on what we can control... how we can improve our relational mechanics. How can we be more patient? More thoughtful? More loving? All too quickly, we try to get new spouses when what we need are new attitudes.
