Living with someone(s) can be hard whether it’s family, a partner/spouse, or random roommate. I am currently living what many people fear: Being married and living at home with your mom. My wife and I are in this situation not by choice – I’m not that big a loser – but because our house isn’t … [Read more...]
Why I recommend waiting for marriage to have sex

Is it Luck or God?
This morning I was driving to a small country church where I was filling in for the normal pastor who was away, and while I was casually driving and talking to myself (I was rehearsing what I was going to say; I’m not my own best friend) I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw red and blue flashing … [Read more...]
