Queen guitarist Brian May is sharing his thoughts on the likelihood of a sequel to the band's 2018 biopic

Queen guitarist Brian May injured himself while gardening at home earlier this week.

How to cultivate love and root out weeds in your marriage.

Marriage is like a garden. It needs intentional care and cultivation. When weeds grow, they must be pulled up from the root immediately. If we don’t pull up weeds by the root they will continue to grow back, eventually overtaking and killing the garden.

So how do we care for and cultivate our marriages?

1. Let the Gardener (God) care for and cultivate your garden by letting him plant it. (See Eph. 5:25–33).

It is important for husbands and wives to realize that their marriages are a picture of Jesus and his church. The husband represents Jesus and the wife represents the church. The husband loves and sacrifices for his wife, and in response to his love, the wife respects and follow her husband’s leadership.

2. Let the Gardener care for and cultivate your garden through the work of Jesus.

God cares for our garden by applying his grace to our lives through Jesus. In Christ,

• We are forever forgiven (Eph. 1:7)
• We are as righteous as Jesus (Rom. 5:9)
• We are loved (Eph. 1:5)
• We are reconciled to God (Rom. 5:10)
• We are regenerated with the life of Jesus himself (Gal. 2:20)
• We are God’s dwelling place and temple (Eph. 2:19–22)
• We are sealed and filled by the Spirit (Eph. 1:13; 5:18)
• We are the body of Christ (2 Cor. 12:12)

The nutrients of grace, when received and acted upon by faith, keep our gardens green and healthy.

3. Grow your garden by working on it.

A great marriage takes great work.

• Read books on marriage.
• Attend marriage conferences.
• Get marriage counseling.
• Date each other.

4. Pull up weeds immediately!

In 15 years of counseling married couples, I have seen that unforgiveness leads to a pattern of unhealthy behaviors, bitterness, and contempt. ...

Coloradans must take COVID-19, the pandemic illness caused by a new coronavirus, seriously.

Our leaders are making difficult, life-and-death decisions without a complete picture of the severity of this threat or a timeline for how long it could last. It’s easy to second-guess the new rules, suggestions and regulations coming.

Some activities must continue even as cities, counties and states effectively shut down to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Obviously our hospitals, doctors’ offices and emergency responder systems must remain open. Grocery stores are essential and so are pharmacies.

Coloradans must take this virus seriously or the government will step in and do it for us.

Employees on the front-lines of the coronavirus pandemic are truly essential. Employers must treat them as such.

The world has been thrust into an unprecedented time. The White House has estimated that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die in the coming months as a new virus sweeps through the nation and that’s if we implement and execute the recommendations from our doctors and scientists. About 700,000 jobs were lost in the U.S. in March as mayors and governors across the nation responded responsibly by forcing all but the most essential businesses to close.

President Donald Trump is treating life-saving medical equipment as emoluments he can dole out as favors to loyalists. It’s the worst imaginable form of corruption -- playing political games with lives. For the good of this nation during what should be a time of unity he must stop.

Easter Sunday and this week of Passover --- even for those who don’t observe the Christian and Jewish holidays --- will be stained with sadness.

We understand why unrest is bubbling among those who are unemployed and entrepreneurs who could lose their businesses. But the alternative to stay-at-home orders is allowing the highly contagious new coronavirus to rip through our communities.

Gov. Jared Polis is charting a smart and sustainable course for Colorado.

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed a conviction on drug-smuggling charges. The defendant, who was caught with two other men aboard a vessel carrying 70 kilograms of cocaine, argued that he was a mere transporter of the contraband and thus was entitled to a minor participant reduction under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Finding no error in the sentence, the First Circuit affirmed.

Dear Amy: I am 63 and my husband (of six years) is 67. He drinks every night. Most nights he drinks to the point of stumbling, and not recalling what he says or does.

Gov. Jared Polis said Friday that his goal is to have Colorado’s restaurants reopen in May, possibly before Memorial Day, depending on the effectiveness of the state’s new “safer-at-home” phase.
