6 ways to develop great friendships

Our world is full of love songs, romantic comedies and stories of people finding that long-desired love.

Something shifts. And I often end up with many more than 10 things on my list.

The secret to stress-free dating

When you were a kid did you ever sing that song “The wise man built his house upon the rock”? It’s the one with the disco actions that most Christian children’s songs were given.

During winter a lot happens below the surface so that new life takes root and then blossoms into relationship possibilities when spring comes. Here are some suggestions for making a fallow time fruitful.
