Romance, heroism…and glory!

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Mel Wild

One of the many things my wife, Maureen, has helped me to understand is the value of love stories and romance. Over the last 37 years I’ve known her, I’ve seen dozens of “chick flicks.” I’ve also had advanced classical training in … Continue reading →

This post was originally published in September 2013. Another good reminder for our fast from fear.  I hope you enjoy it but, most of all, that you feel your heavenly Father’s warm embrace. Recklessly abandoned to Love, Mel

Beloved

Posted on August 14, 2014 by Mel Wild

Our relationship with Christ should be seen like a marriage between two people who are deeply in love with each other.  It was not born in a cold court room and it’s not based on a prenuptial contract. For they … Continue reading →

Just love them

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Mel Wild

Besides being beautiful, my wife, Maureen, is brilliant. She’s a great writer and I’ve been trying to coax her to write a few post here. Right now, she’s up to her neck in kindergarteners and grade schoolers in an after-school art … Continue reading →

There’s something wonderful about awakening to our first love. I remember when my wife, Maureen, found some love letters that we had written to each other before we were married. They were written 35 years ago.

You and I were made for intimacy

Posted on September 25, 2013 by Mel Wild

Beloved, you and I were meant for intimacy…to live in the embrace of love and not fear, freedom and not control, affirmed and not rejected, for connection and not distance. We can stuff it, deny it, build walls around it, but we cannot escape our deepest longing … Continue reading →
