- [The Gift of Counseling](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/the-gift-of-counseling/) - Five years ago I went to counseling. I had been thinking about it, yet found myself reluctant to do so. Then my wife started seeing a counselor and I decided to follow her lead. Yes, counselors also need counseling and sometimes need a little nudge in that direction. I was immediately glad I went. My
- [A Case for Sermon Notes](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/a-case-for-sermon-notes/) - Last summer our two year-old clothes washer quit working. The repairman said it would cost several hundred dollars more to fix it than what we paid for it less than two years earlier. We had not purchased the extended warranty because we'd previously had such a good experience with this brand. The manufacturer would not
- [Following Your Feelings to God](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/following-your-feelings-to-god/) - Recently, I read James 1:19- 20 where he says to be slow to anger and that the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. I recalled Dallas Willard saying that whatever can be done in anger can be done better without it. I get his point—at least maybe it’s partially his point—that
- [Can’t wait for school to start?](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/cant-wait-for-school-to-start/) - Kids and parents anticipate the end of the school year with excitement about all the summer will hold. Ball games, trips to the water park, fireworks, cookouts. Then summer arrives and the kids complain of boredom. The car trip turns into seemingly endless arguments about who has encroached whose space. The trip to the water
- [Keeping emotional reactivity in check](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/keeping-emotional-reactivity-in-check/) - Good communication depends on keeping our emotional reactivity in check. It’s so easy to get off track at the very beginning of a disagreement. Here’s something to practice that will help you with this. (By the way, if you’re running into a lot of trouble with communication this book is full of practical help).
- [Truly seeing . . .](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/truly-seeing/) - John 9 tells the wonderful story of Jesus giving a man his sight. It wasn’t restored because the man had been blind from birth. He was given sight for the first time. That’s cause for celebration! Yet that is not what happened. And it becomes the backdrop to a larger conversation about seeing. The
- [Numbering our days . . .](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/numbering-our-days/) - (Written Wednesday, August 25, 2021) . . . Monday, while waiting to take Linnea to school, I read a tweet from Father Thomas McKenzie saying it was his first day of sabbatical and the first order of business was taking his daughter to school in New Mexico. He said they were hoping to make it
- [Mother’s Day](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/mothers-day/) - Is there another holiday that carries such a mix of happiness and joy and sorrow and sadness? I am grateful for the mother God gave me. She was a godly woman who, when her health no longer allowed her to actively serve in the church—she had taught Sunday school of all ages, including adult men
- [Thoughts from a pandemic . . .](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/thoughts-from-a-pandemic/) - I’m old enough to remember when the coronavirus started. COVID-19 really is stretching on, isn’t it? When it first began I felt the same anxiety many others were feeling, but the shelter-in-place didn’t seem difficult to me. I’m very much an introvert. I am a professional counselor and I love meeting with people, but I
- [Surprised by what you see in yourself?](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/surprised-by-what-you-see-in-yourself/) - One thing I often say to marriage clients in their first session is that it can help us in our relationships if we are willing to be surprised by what we see in ourselves, what we learn about ourselves during or outside of a session. I sometimes use the example of myself during a couple
- [Smartphones, power, and belonging](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/smartphones-power-and-belonging/) - Recently, my family and I went to a showing of a documentary called Screenagers at a local church. It was a good documentary that followed a couple who was trying to decide whether or not to get a smartphone for their 12 year-old daughter. It featured interviews with scientists and psychologists and facts from studies
- [I Need New Eyes!](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/i-need-new-eyes/) - Last week I had a session with my counselor (yes, counselors sometimes go to counseling) and then I headed toward home. I had a little time before I needed to pick my daughter up from school (an early release day) and I needed to get gas in the van and a prescription from CVS. I
- [Only Love Has the Power to Keep Us From Idols and Addictions](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/only-love-has-the-power-to-keep-us-from-idols-and-addictions/) - I was thinking recently about how it is only an understanding of God’s immense love for us that will keep us from the idols and addictions that trouble us. Think about it on a human level. The threat of getting caught may keep someone from cheating on their wife yet others know they might get
- [Find Healing From Sex Addiction!](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/find-healing-from-sex-addiction/) - Review-Surfing for God: Discovering the Divine Desire Beneath Sexual Struggle; Michael John Cusick I wrote this review nearly seven years ago. I like this book every bit as much as I did then. If you’re struggling with sex addiction it’s a great place to start in order to find healing. Better yet, attend one of
- [I Love To Tell the Story](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/i-love-to-tell-the-story/) - Reposting something I wrote over 6 years ago . . . I never really thought I'd get to be a father. I wanted desperately to be a father, but after 17 years of marriage it just didn't seem like it was going to happen. Infertility treatments are expensive, rarely covered by insurance and never by
- [A Christmas Reflection](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/a-christmas-reflection/) - It is an often painful fact that our lives seldom go the way we planned. How many of us have the life we pictured at age 20? A well-known quote attributed to Woody Allen says, "if you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." Most of us aren't quite that cynical yet

Are we there yet?” My sisters and I sat stuffed into the back seat of our green Ford Fairlane 500 with coolers and picnic baskets smashed tightly against our legs taking our annual trip from New Jersey
- [I Don't Know!](https://www.christiancounselingindallas.com/i-dont-know/) - Subtitle: "The reality of the counseling process: do counselors have all the answers?" by Dianne L.
