I’m glad we’re no longer living in a time where just being a woman or a man determined what you’re capable of doing in or outside the home. Both men and women possess talents that overlap in various areas and to say that only women are allowed to cook and only men are allowed to do repairs around the home would be a complete waste of talent.

So many times Christians go to church, sing and shout praises to God and read spiritually potent verses like “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” or say things like “He is the great physician” and so many other comforting and spiritually uplifted verses. However, to what at times seems like a mystery, like a man who watches himself in the mirror and in a twinkling of an eye forgets his resemblance, his complexion, his posture, Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve decided to use Thursdays to offer Church Newsletter and Church Communications tips.
I was talking with kind poet who insightfully pointed out another area where I could expand my blog and be of greater service to my readers. He helped me brainstorm my way through it, and for that I’m grateful. Read the rest of this entry »

Every single has a story. Some are single by design, others by circumstance. A few are content, while others battle daily to exit this undesired state. Though we all have different stories, one thing that most singles seem to have in common is a desire to know how to best utilize their time now.
One question I am most commonly asked by all singles is, “What to do while you wait?” So for those Christian singles out there who desire to get married (which is the vast majority), there are at least two key things you should be doing during your season of singleness.

I recently submitted To Schedule tweets or NOT to tweet? to FamousBloggers.net and so far I’ve been seeing such an awesome response that I wanted to share it with you.
Although, I hadn’t really intended to enter the Guest Blogging Contest that the blog is currently holding, I was only trying to promote the Birthday Celebration Contest and Iron Blogger Contest I’m holding on my other blog, but I’m all for taking advantage of every opportunity that I can, so if you’ll be kind enough to drop by and RT and comment on my guest post, it would warm my heart immensely – and possibly help me win 
While you’re at it, you might as well enter, too. If so, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to return the RT and commenting favor!
Thanks! It truly is a pleasure to write for you everyday.
Many times we are quick to tell others what we think they should be doing and how they should be doing it. We are so ready to give advice that we ourselves don’t even fully follow. Then we wonder why people don’t listen. How could they when it’s obvious we aren’t living that way ourselves? This is not to say that we should never offer advice, but instead that we think a little more critically before opening our mouths. Read the rest of this entry »
For as long as I can remember, my grandparents had always slept in separate beds. As a kid it didn’t seem odd, but now that I’m an adult I just can’t understand why a couple would choose to sleep apart.
I’ve heard about the conveniences: you don’t have to worry about having a blanket pulled away from you in the middle of the night or being kicked or listen to loud snoring. You can move around as you wish and take up the whole bed if you want. Yeah, those may be great but the benefits of having someone to sleep next to far outweigh the conveniences in my opinion.

Do you know someone who was so cheap that it was annoying? They never buy anything; they never do anything and really it’s as if they are just saving for nothing. To a certain extent being cheap can be an insult to loved ones. How do you explain celebrating your wife’s birthday at McDonald’s? Yeah, the economy may be bad, but seriously, McDonald’s?

What world are we living in when a church can be taken court for feeding the hungry after neighbors begin complaining about all of the “undesirables” it brings to the neighborhood?
When I read this article on USA Today Online, I just couldn’t believe it! Apparently there’s a church in Phoenix, AR that has actually been diligently feeding the poor every Saturday in an upscale neighborhood. The residents claim it makes the neighborhood look bad and it’s a violation of a zoning law that says they can only conduct that type of giving in certain areas. Are you kidding me?
What’s worse is this type of thing is not only happening in Phoenix, but in other cities to. In San Diego, a group of ministers were asked to stop feeding the homeless in the park. In Pensacola, police ordered a church to stop its picnic that happened to be surviving the homeless, that was eventually allowed by not after starting a lawsuit.
You mean to tell me that there are good people who are going out of their way to be a blessing and this is the thanks they get? Is this insanity or what? How do you feel about this? Am I in the Twilight Zone? (cue Twilight Zone soundtrack…)

The last couple of week’s I’ve been skipping Throwback Thursday, where’d I’d post a links to a few older blog posts that have a similar. I’m not sure how useful it’s been to you all, so I’ve decided return to composing a regular post on Thursdays. Perhaps, I’ll save it until the end of the month.
Anyway, last night I was watching an old movie – the Matrix. I can remember the first time I watched and how it challenged my thinking then, but now that I’ve accepted Christ, I can see the Biblical comparisons. I know this is nothing new, there are tons of analytical articles and essays on the internet that talk about this, so I’m not going to analyze the movie here, but I do want to talk about the conflicted issues I have with it.

One of the things that is most appealing to me about this blog is that it is devoted to helping you deepen your relationship with God in new and practical ways. I can recall reading Marriage Monday posts in the past and wondering how many singles struggled to find inspiration and encouragement because they didn’t feel highly favored by God simply because they are still single.
So inspired by the very purpose of this blog, I wanted to highlight that it is possible to be single and highly favored. Though not a popular or common thought, the fact that you’re single could be an indication of just how highly God thinks of you. Let me explain… Read the rest of this entry »
