Why should young, single, healthy guys and gals refrain from sex when it’s such a natural act? Consider this excerpt from my book, “No One Could Know” — Chapter 13: That Momentum Train—Why Abstinence…
So why is sex before marriage considered sin in the eyes of God when He’s the One who invented sex in the first place? I had no idea, so I set out to…..
Adoption: verb 1.) to choose or take as one’s own; make one’s own by selection; 2.) to take and rear (the child of other parents) as one’s own

From time to time, I’ll share a special guest blog that I deem worthy of sharing. From this, I give you “My daughter decided not to kiss dating goodbye – and I was OK with that” by Daniel Anderson.

People worldwide are actively hosting fundraising events and are displaying little blue pinwheels in support of April’s Prevent Child Abuse Awareness Month. As well they should — child abuse must not be tolerated. But what about the most horrific child abuse of them all?
