It’s interesting how often the foundation of a building gets overlooked. One walks up to the second floor of a mall and doesn’t think “I sure hope this floor holds up underneath me”. No, one more than likely thinks, “I sure hope my hubby doesn’t mind that I buy this Coach purse” :). Often we… Continue reading Laying A Good Foundation

A Letter to My Single Brothers
I’m not a man so I can’t fathom the temptation to engage a beautiful, godly, woman in conversation. To proceed with texting her, calling her, and showering her with terms of endearment (via social media or otherwise), all the while having no intention to commit to her. I can’t possibly fathom that temptation. I’m not… Continue reading A Letter to My Single Brothers
Tis’ Better to be Single…Right?
1 Corinthians 7:32 But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The… Continue reading Tis’ Better to be Single…Right?
The Introverted Extrovert
Last night, as the wine flowed, ice-cream digested and sleepiness kicked in, my friends and I engaged in a fairly humorous discussion…what makes one an introvert? My friend who is the epitome of the-life-of-the-party, social butterfly, stereotypical extrovert is now dating a reclusive, home-body, super introvert. And she credits ME for helping her to relate… Continue reading The Introverted Extrovert
Sex is Worth the Wait.
Sunday evening, just as I anticipated, I found myself surrounded by beauty. Glistening legs, sparkling eyes, thick, alluring hair of various textures and styles. Beautiful brown women donning dresses ranging from cute cocktails to elegant formal wear. Brothers in fine suits and attire with crisp, clean locks or heads freshly cut were a site to… Continue reading Sex is Worth the Wait.
Valentine’s Day: From a Single’s Perspective
Well it’s that time again…V-Day. Every year it catches me off guard. I know there are many singles who dread the approaching holiday year after year and it’s on their radar as early as January. There are many who cringe at the various business advertisements pushing their product of flowers, candy, and the standard teddy… Continue reading Valentine’s Day: From a Single’s Perspective
Unbroken Covenants
Genesis 15: 9-17 So He (God) said to him (Abram), “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut… Continue reading Unbroken Covenants
Plenty of Fish…
I had a really good and refreshing conversation with a brother in Christ the other day about relationships. Not the awkward kind where you kind of like the person and so you’re really picking their brain to see how they feel about you. No ulterior motive, just pure curiosity. And what I learned from this… Continue reading Plenty of Fish…
Online Dating, (The Verdict is In) & A Marriage Proposal
So, I cancelled my membership today for the online dating site I joined last month. It’s been almost 30 days and nothing. No emails, no instant messages, nothing. Now, I did get one “smile” from a guy…that’s the site’s ways of someone kinda testing the waters and seeing if you’re interested. But I will just… Continue reading Online Dating, (The Verdict is In) & A Marriage Proposal
A Conflict of Sorts
She’s like a sister to me. Her brother is like a brother to me. Her family is like family to me. When we have conflict it’s like a huge space in my life that can’t be filled. When we were younger we had full out arguments. Now, seasoned with some maturity, we have conflict. It’s… Continue reading A Conflict of Sorts
