“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

About the Site

Welcome to Excellent or Praiseworthy, a devotional site for military marriages. It is our goal to minister to you and to help you think about things which will refresh and comfort you during this time of war. We want you to have hope!

“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” — Romans 15:4

Mike and Linda Montgomery are the founders and managing editors of Excellent or Praiseworthy.  While researching for their HomeBuilders Bible study Making Your Marriage Deployment Ready, they recognized the need for an online devotional blog just for military couples.  So on September 11, 2007, ExcellentorPraiseworthy.org was born!
