For years, I had tried to figure this “Love” thing out. Rejected at an early age by my earthly father, I found myself going from one broken relationship to the next, searching for love in all the wrong places. If I had a man, an entourage of friends, partying, shopping and traveling, I was living…
Last week, I touched on seven reasons we single Christians need to get our finances under control. The seventh one, not in the list of six, was, “If you plan to ever get married.” Marriage has built-in pressures and difficulties. Finances always seem to make the top three to five reasons marriages get into trouble.…
Who hasn’t had financial struggles? I sure have. I remember the time just out of college when I worked as a temporary for several months. I had to pay my rent from week to week. I don’t know who hated that worse, me or the landlord! Then I got a job where I got paid…
This past week was a very different week for me, but in a good way. I was engaged more than usual. My birthday was last week, and I feel like I have been celebrating for the entire week. It’s unusual for me. This is how my week went: For starters, I’m in an informal birthday…
Instead of writing on “spiritual” stuff this weekend, with our Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve holidays fast approaching, I thought I’d give you a few holiday tips & hacks instead.

Some Christian singles don’t like to do “this” based on their personalities… they are cautious and intentional about their futures and all the decisions that shape them.

When the idea came to me nearly a year ago to write a blog for single Christians, it came with this name, “One is a Whole Number.” I didn’t think to look up whether or not someone else already had used this name. That was because I never imagined myself writing a blog, let alone…
It’s Friday night. I’m at a retreat center up in the mountains in Southern California with a bunch of single Christians. All ages are present, but it’s mostly the “older crowd.” All colors, all backgrounds, came together. We ate dinner and did ice breakers and worshiped and received an awesome, reality-based teaching from our first…
As a single Christian, I want to finish well in my Christian walk. I was thinking about how long I had been a follower of Christ as I passed my spiritual birthday last week, which was August 23. I received Christ in high school at summer camp. It’s been a long time. However, I do…
May the Lord bless your path, your arrival, and your leaving. May He give you the wisdom you need to guide your plans. May your eyes be focused on the great marriages around you that have lasted so that you may have great examples, awesome inspiration, and fabulous mentors to guide you into your next…
