COME TO MY BANQUET - WORKSHOP OUTLINE

As I begin my online workshop I thought it would be helpful to provide you with an outline of the direction I will be taking with this series of articles. There will be two articles in each week's blog. One will deal with dysfunctional marriage and divorce. The other with remarriage.

You will note that the outline is broken down under each of these two themes. We will start at the beginning of each item under the theme and work our way down the outline from there. I will be including applicable portions of texts and poetry from my book

The outline is as follows:

"OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF DIVORCE & REMARRIAGE"

"F" WORDS OF DIVORCE & REMARRIAGE (Not the "F" words we hear around us)

I. MARRIAGE & DIVORCE:

FOREVER: Symbol of the Ring, There is no end to marriage in a lifetime,

FAMILY: A family is to live in harmony and Love.

FRUSTRATION: When a preconceived fantasy of marriage vanishes frustration enters the relationships. Some factors that lead to this are:

FAILURE: Leads to solid reasons for separation. What are some of these?

FEAR OF UNKNOWNS: (Read part of Psalm from my book) and consider some of the fears related to separation, divorce and remarriage.

FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR LORD: Welcomes divorced person to his table and understands our situation.

FRACTURED SELF IMAGE: Ways to move toward healing. View as opportunity to grow. (Shattered Platter) experience.
