MARRIAGE TIP: It’s natural to want to be right and win an argument, but in marriage the cost of pride is high. Often both partners have a piece of the truth. Put them together rather than insisting that your way is the best way. Find more Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org.

WE VALUE THE GIFT OF LIFE - THREE WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION
Hello spiritual friends, I was conceived three weeks ago. My heart is taking shape and the Lord has so much love for me. My brain, spinal cord and bone formation are beginning to develop. My skeleton is also taking shape. Did you know that the word “fetus” is Latin for “little one”? . “My very self you knew; my bones were not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth.” (Psalm 139:14-15)
