Practicing Accountability is Marriage Prep, Part 2 of 2

January 29, 2019

Last week, I talked about how our contemporary Western culture inclines us singles to a severe level of independence and lack of accountability. Not being accountable to anyone can cause problems in relationships. When you don’t answer to anyone, you can keep secrets and harbor addictions that will hurt relationships. Then, after the wedding, big,…

Practicing Accountability is Marriage Prep, Part 1 of 2

January 22, 2019

We’re pretty independent in the Western world. I consider myself very independent, sometimes refusing help from someone who offers to carry something for me when they see me hobbling. First-time visitors from eastern cultures are often amazed and shocked at the levels of self-sufficiency which we display. They don’t always think it’s good. Independence is…

Single Christian, Give Yourself Some Grace!

January 15, 2019

Can you believe it’s only been a couple of weeks since January 1? Me, either! According to a recent article by Scripps National, at least 75% of Americans planned to either lose weight or save more money in the coming year (https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/these-are-the-top-new-years-resolutions-for-2019). Were either of these plans on your priority list of things to accomplish…

Review of the newest Thomas Nelson NKJV Full-Color Study Bible

January 8, 2019

I was asked if I would like to review the third edition of Thomas Nelson’s Full-Color NKJV Comfort Print® Study Bible. Of course I would. I love to read and study the Bible; I have for decades. I use several different translations and study Bibles in my research. However, I was stuck on using a…

January 1, 2019

Happy New Year to my Christian singles! I hope that you had a fun but safe New Year Eve’s celebration. Hopefully, you have recovered and are surveying the freshness of this brand new year, 2019. Did you make any New Years’ resolutions? How are you doing so far this year? I’m doing okay, but it’s…

For Those of Us Who Are Single and Content

December 18, 2018

(Note: Today’s post is almost the opposite of last week’s!) It’s common knowledge that at least half of us are single, not just in the US but around the world, and many of us want to get married. When God created the first human, He realized that this creature did not have a corresponding…

When Your Life’s Not a Hallmark Movie

December 11, 2018

Years ago, I had a roommate who loved Hallmark movies. I never watch TV; I don’t even own one. I’d never heard of the Hallmark channel before, so I was intrigued. Were these merely televised versions of Harlequin romances? Were they as sappy as they sounded? I sat down to watch a few of them…

The Empty Spot in Your Holiday

December 4, 2018

One of my friends recently had a very close family member pass away unexpectedly. It was especially difficult because the family member had only been back in my friend’s life for a few years. How my heart grieves with her. I thought back to when close family members of mine—in my case, my parents—passed away,…

It’s a Beautiful Way to Live

November 20, 2018

♥I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the wonderful things you have done. Psalms 9:1 GNT “This a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.” Maya Angelou Thanksgiving is this Thursday in the US. Several other countries have their version of thanksgiving, complete with their own histories,…

I Did Not Send Them, My Child

November 13, 2018

You have many influences in your life, My single child. You allow information to bombard you from social media, television and radio, friends, family, coworkers, and pastors. Through your eyes, I see the billboards, bumper stickers, junk mail, election information, T-shirts, and You Tube videos which you see. I even know each word of every…
