We were scheduled to lead a young couples event at a parish in eastern Iowa today. We’ve been defeated by the weather once again this winter and were not able to travel due to the snow. But all is not lost. We share with you, dear readers, a portion of our presentation titled “Strengthening the Mr. and Mrs. Once You’re Dad and Mom: The Beatitudes of Healthy Marriages.” Please keep in mind the target audience was young married couples with one or more little ones at home. . . . → Read More: Strengthening the Mr. and Mrs. Once You’re Dad and Mom

We recently signed on with CMG Booking’s speaker circuit thinking, Who’ll ever hire us?! Less than a week later, Joel was requested to speak for the Legatus chapter of the Quad Cities (Iowa/Illinois).

Or as Donald Trump would said, “It’s HUGE!” . . . → Read More: Prayers for Joel, please. Donald says, “It’s HUGE!”

Tonight I’m “playing” Peoria and giving a talk with Sister Helena Burns on Authentic Friendships in a Social Media Age to a fine group of women. . . . → Read More: Will It Play in Peoria?
