Not According to Plan

I watched Marley and Me over the Thanksgiving break. One of the messages in the movie is that life takes you into areas you don't always expect to go. E.g., annoying dog, miscarriage and career path. Nowhere does the road wind more than in family life.

The Mormon Channel app for smart phones has some good stuff on it. Included are audio series like "The Light of Christ" and "Enduring It Well". I just listened to the latest episode of EIW entitled, "Surviving the Broken Marriage". It made me think of my divorced friends whose plans have been broken and must put together the pieces and deal with the mess.

It seems like the majority of your friends start getting married at the same time and those life events go in waves at certain ages. The last couple years seem to have been the beginning of the early divorce wave and my heart goes out those friends. This podcast interviews a couple that has gone through divorce and made the best out of a bad situation. Here is the link, enjoy.
