I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a really stressful week. I found myself in need of a good laugh as it has finally come to an end. Three years ago, my husband made the journey from Texas to Ohio to come marry his bride (me!). He and several of his friends documented their [...]

Many young women believe remaining abstinent until marriage is an old-fashioned, unattainable ideal. Some believe that a woman who believes that sex before marriage is wrong devalues herself and her sexuality because she isn’t allowing herself to experience true sexual freedom. I disagree. This isn’t a blog passing judgment on people who believe differently than [...]

Valentine’s Day got you kind of down? Maybe it’s time to pick up a new book! I just finished “Till We Have Faces” by C.S. Lewis, and it’s one of the best books I have ever read. It was written in 1956, but it is a retelling of the Greek mythology of Cupid and Psyche. [...]

Words are just words. And sometimes our words create moments. Then there are the moments we can only describe with words, even when words can’t do the moment justice. The guys had tuned their instruments. The girls had put the finishing touches on the meal. We all chose songs of worship that meant something special. [...]

Thousands of precious souls are being forced to sell their bodies against their will today. “It would be just like Chuck,” my voice sounded funny in the quiet morning.
