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…
