I can’t even remember who said it, for some reason, a grocery store comes to mind. But it comes as no surprise to me that an elderly face was the genesis of the best piece of marriage advice I ever received.
Like my father, I have no problem initiating random conversations with random people in random [...]
The only thing sadder than the sudden death of a loved one is drama that soon circulates without the person being able to defend themselves. That is the case now with Debbie Rowe, the former wife of Michael Jackson and surrogate mother to his two children, whom she now claims are not biologically his.

Not the cleanest analogy you could come up with, but very true.
H/T – Pastor Mark Gungor, whom I recently discovered on Twitter. Follow him. He’s got some good resources on love and marriage.
