A Love Nest

March 30, 2022
Dennis Rainey

My husband and I were trying to pick out colors for our bedroom. And we had picked out originally a green color. But then we thought that a coral color might be more romantic. So we went with the coral color.

On a Date

March 29, 2022
Dennis Rainey

(RTR) Well, before we got married, my fiance and I would dig around in the cushions of the couch in my apartment, and we’d scrape together enough change to go to the 99-cent cinema around the corner. Then we’d probably have enough money to split an order

Easy Prey

February 11, 2022
Dennis Rainey

My wife and I moved to a new city three months ago. And we wanted to find a church and get connected as quickly as possible. I think it just comes down to accountability. If we don’t get connected quickly, then we start to get lazy spiritually.

A Proverbs 31 Woman

January 11, 2022
Dennis Rainey

Well, the kitchen is a mess, because my children cleared the table so I doubt that they’re even stacked up. The living room has toys and scraps of paper. I know of at least one dirty diaper sitting around in the bedroom. The toilets probably haven’t even been flushed!

I love my wife because of how much respect I have for her and all that she does for me. I love my wife because I think she’s cute.

The Christmas Story – Christmas ONLY

December 24, 2021
Dennis Rainey

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ, the Lord! This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly, a great company of the heavenly hosts appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!

A Ship, a Storm, and the Savior – CHRISTMAS

December 23, 2021
Dennis Rainey

I remember when I was 29 years old. My dad was dying with cancer, and I had just made a major career change, my wife was unexpectedly pregnant with our first child. That all happened within a three-month period. It was hard.

Walk Like A Man

November 19, 2021
Dennis Rainey

My ex-husband has not had any contact with our daughter in almost two years now. And just doesn’t show any sign of any interest… Has no idea what it’s like to really be a man and take care of his family.

The Honeymoon’s Over

October 15, 2021
Dennis Rainey

On our honeymoon, the airport security pulled me aside after scanning the luggage…and they found a pie server, which was really long and pointed…looked like a knife. They said, What are you doing with this? Are you sure this doesn’t open? And they kept stickin’ it in my face! And I said, No, I said, it’s just a souvenir!

Fearing God

October 5, 2021
Dennis Rainey

We asked this woman what it means to fear God… I think it’s a reverent fear like we have for our parents, that if we don’t obey Him, He has the power and the authority to…put our souls in Hell. So I fear Hell. I fear His authority to put me there if I don’t obey.

The Golden Gate Bridge

October 1, 2021

When I was young, Monday was my favorite day, because my dad’s day off was on Monday. So he would let me go along with him and do all the errands, and my dad spent time with me.

Isolation Defined

September 30, 2021
Dennis Rainey

What comes to my mind when you say isolation – when two people are married, but they don’t talk, and they’re just barely friends. You go on a date, and you talk about the mortgage.
