Is the devil Doing a Happy Dance Around Your House?





Attending a National Day of Prayer breakfast this morning, I realized anew the value of family to the stability of our nation and the importance of prayer to the state of our union. We live in a sin-sick world. There is no better way to fight sin than to pray.

As I say in We All Married Idiots, "Prayer paralyzes the devil and activates the Holy Spirit." When satan is paralyzed and the Holy Spirit energized, our Lord will be glorified in our marriage, in our children, in our schools, in our government, and in our world.

"Prayer works. It changes our marriages faster than nagging, screaming, silence, sexual abstinence, belittling, leaving, or any other sinful behavior satan tempts us to do. . . . Give up your troubles to the Lord. Just give up! Throw your arms up, give up, and pray! . . . satan doesn't want us to pray, which is all the more reason we should." ~ We All Married Idiots

"satan is in the family-destroying business and delights at every bite he takes out of our homes. he does a happy dance when Dan and I aren't fulfilling our wedding vows." ~ We All Married Idiots

God placed a passion in my heart for marriages. This morning as I prayed with Pastors, government officials, and the Mayor himself, I realized anew the magnitude of marriage and the power of prayer to the state of our union.

Please join me and pray for marriages. Let's not let the devil win his battle against our families.

I wish I could send every person a free copy of We All Married Idiots. I can't, but you could win a free copy.  At midnight tonight (Thursday, May 2) the Goodreads giveaway of We All Married Idiots ends. Please enter to win. This book is changing lives.

Can You Help Me Fight for Marriages?

This week begins the re-release of my book We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage and Ten Things You Can. My publisher, Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, and I are working hard to give legs to Idiots. Why? Because we've seen how this book is influencing couples to look at each other as gifts to treasure instead of idiots to tolerate. We want We All Married Idiots to be used by God to fight for marriages.

How does a book get legs? We need you to walk it, talk it, blog it, buy it, give it, share it to the people in your circle whose marriage is running in circles and going nowhere fast.

Thank you to author Olivia Stocum for her post today promoting We All Married Idiots. Check it out at http://theclaymoreandsurcoat.com/2013/04/29/shameless-self-promotion-this-time-for-my-dear-friend/

What thrilled me are the two who read Olivia's blog on We All Married Idiots and then reposted  to their blogs. That's what it means to give legs to a book. We All Married Idiots wants to walk into your neighborhood. Can you help me fight for marriages? Thank you!

Splashing Serenity on marriages around the world,
