Summer is time to grow gardens. Gardens,
of course, need tending throughout the summer. Your
relationship, like that summer garden, needs constant tending. I
hope this (regularly irregular) note provides some help in
tending your relationship.
To prepare this note I read, listen,
browse, experience, and reflect, then I write. I believe it may
be helpful to share some of the browsing resources I have
enjoyed, or found helpful and use. I offer this list with this
warning: listing a resource here is not an endorsement of all
its content.
Please approach each resource with the
understanding that I have found it helpful at times, not helpful
at others. I have sometimes agreed with and sometimes disagreed
with the content. What one person finds helpful another may find
disgusting or worse. I ask you to make up your own mind if you
choose to browse any of these resources.
These resources offered in no particular
order, with the assurance that I have used all of these at one time
or another, and with the request that you make up your own mind
about their content ...

I have kept this list short on purpose. There is an
overwhelming amount of information and advice on the net. If you
have a favorite online resource, I would like to know. Please
send me a note and a link. In the future I will also add some print
resources I have found helpful.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you.
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace. Amen.
