I should not have been abused. You are a manipulative, shallow, impulsive, jealous, deceitful, angry, heartless, violent narcissist. I trusted you, and you abused my trust. I didn’t realize I was stepping down into a dark and cruel nightmare, driven by your deception, contempt, and power addiction. If I would have known, I wouldn’t have…
Summer is finally, officially, Memorial-Day-weekend here. The sun’s out longer, your dopamine levels are higher, and you’re ready for summer love. Many single Christians are already dating, and dating rather seriously. That’s wonderful! Many of you have tried dating and marriage the world’s way and, like my guest blogger from March 26, gotten the world’s…
Hey, y’all, I was asked to write a guest blog for Glenda and I am very surprised but very honored, of course. I was simply hanging out at the RMRM Ranch, just supervising and making sure everyone does their jobs when I got the go-ahead. I have never been asked to write anything like this…
Ah, so we meet again… you, red flags, versus us, single Christians.)Yes, we know: Valentine’s Day is coming right up and we are unattached. Single. Dateless wonders. Free and don’t necessarily want to be. But we single Christians know about red flags. We know how you red flags get. You can disguise yourselves in myriads…
One of the most dreaded holidays for singles is lurking around the corner… Is it almost February 14 again?! … <gasp> (or <sigh>) Valentine’s Day! And I’m still single. Oh God. Ugh! God, how could you allow such a holiday to develop? It sucks. I don’t have anybody, but I sure wish I did. I…
As a single Christian adult, have you ever experienced any of these scenarios? You show up to church services looking for a seat. You see an empty seat next to someone of a different color than you, but keep going till you find a seat next to someone of the same color. You gravitate toward…
You hold the door open for the person behind you. They walk through, stone-faced, and say nothing. You return something that the owner dropped. They say “Oh” and walk away, checking it out to make sure it didn’t break. You let someone cut in front of you on the freeway. No nod, no wave, no…
When I was pondering and praying over what to write for this week, it took me awhile to come up with what I was actually going to say. Sometimes I get ideas from external sources such as current events, sermons fresh or old, or an article I’ve read. Sometimes they come from my own life:…
I was thinking about how, a long time ago, I deliberately chose to work in secular settings rather than cloister myself in church or religious settings. I’d hear sermons and stories about how Christians and church staff members would lose touch with unsaved people by surrounding themselves completely with believers, and rarely have an opportunity…
Single Christian, who are you following these days? Not just on Face Book or Twitter, but in your life? Followers follow someone who’s ahead of them leading, and there sure are “a lot” of “leaders” around these days! Earlier this week, I was thinking about leaders and how there appear to be so many of them…
