Winner of December Drawing
Congratulations to Michelle! She is the winner of the December “Bible in a Year” Sign Up drawing. She’ll receive a copy of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney.

Last week in “Blended Families Part 13: Differences Between Households,” we began looking at ways to deal with the different rules and expectations between your household and that of your ex in a God-honoring way.

This week we’ll discuss more ways we can seek to live in peace and solve problems.
