How many men do you think are afraid of their wives? If “afraid” is too strong a word, how many men believe they must walk on eggshells in their wife’s presence? What marriages do you know – well – that are successful and appear happy? I chose the word “appear” because no one really knows what is going on inside another’s home and life, so all we can make is educated guesses based on how well we know people.

I am still reeling from the details that my son shared about what happened to him that morning, which I’ll share in a moment.

The atmosphere was buzzing at the LG Arena in Birmingham last night. As the lights went down at 9pm, all 14,000 fans screamed with excitement and anticipation.
