This weekend, we’re celebrating Memorial Day. I guess the wonders of spring were supposed to distract us from the fact that the longest stretch between federal holidays is the three months plus between Washington’s Birthday and Memorial Day. Lots of barbecues, picnics, and pool parties are being planned for this first holiday off in over…
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I imagined as a child. But as soon as I was a man, I put away childishness. 1 Corinthians 13:11 NMB Do you have a favorite food from childhood that you still love? I really, really love me some cotton…
There is a pervasive, destructive addiction that has recently been seeping through the body of Christ. Actually, it seems to have been around the entire existence of the human race and simply worked its insidious way into the faith community. You probably know someone from church who has at least one of these symptoms: They’re…
I’m sure you’ve heard how we are always supposed to have our Bible Studies in the morning. “It’s the best time of the day to get alone with God!” they said. “You don’t want to start the day on the wrong foot, do you?” they said. Not so fast. Images of perfectly groomed women (at dark…
Welcome to my very first post on my new day, Tuesdays! I’d been posting on Sundays ever since I started blogging in January, 2016. After getting lots of good info on the best days to post for various things online, I decided last month to change my posting day to Tuesdays. My next big project…

I was doing some research in anticipation of adding a page to my blog site on a very hot topic for Christian singles: Our sexual desires. And what to do about those pesky things. I found tons of articles for Christian singles about our base but very human desires. I’ve noticed, like many of you…
I want to share my heart about renewed hope for love as a professional single. Not a professional who is single (though I am a professional). I mean someone who has been single so long that I consider myself to be professionally single, someone who unwittingly has gotten “good at” being single. Recently, I’ve had…
Most singles want to get married. Though statistically, more people in today’s culture opt to stay single, most want to be married eventually. Unless all your friends are dating and getting married, there is less pressure today to marry, especially when you’re younger.
