It’s Friday Listener Questions day!

The Distraction of the Day:

“People who voluntarily wipe a public toilet seat of a mess other than their own don’t receive enough recognition.”

What’s the craziest thing you might find flushed down a Virgin Train toilet?

Show Content:

These are your questions we answer:

  • After being a state champion football player with dad who was interested in your continual athletic improvement; what was his response when his youngest son became a male cheerleader?
  • Matt asked, “My wife separated a year ago from me. She said it was going to be for 3 to 4 weeks. I was given an ultimatum to get counseling and my life right with Jesus. I did, but then 3 months after the separation, she instituted a no contact. In the late summer, she told me that I needed to go to Domestic Violence Therapy. I had to consult with a few attorneys and they all said this was not domestic violence and not to attend. In November, she said she was ready to talk but by email only. Then told me we needed to go to mediation to dissolve the marriage. Help, what should I do?”
  • What resources do you have on how to address accusations of infidelity that are caused by mistrust due to previous experiences?
  • I just wanted to let you know that hearing stories about your wonderful family made me realize we are not that bad. That we will be ok... LOL.
