OK, God. I’ve Got Questions
I’m not interested in a faith that falls apart under scrutiny. I need to be able to ask my questions, and for much of my life it’s felt like that’s not okay.
I grew up in the church, so I’m used to right answers. I was raised in a culture that was direct about what it believed. I was taught that anyone whose faith looked different from mine was going straight to hell…

If You Knew What Someone’s Soul Looked Like, Would You Still Sleep With Them?
I’m not a virgin…gasp, sigh, swoon, do what you have to do, but also get over it. In addition to being single for 8 years I’ve also been abstinent/celibate/ for an extended period of time. On the outside looking in, I’d be willing to make the argument that I think sex while dating can actually …

Falling Back In Love With Jesus
When you fall out of love, it’s heartbreaking. You’re left to wonder what went wrong; was it me, was it him (or her)? It wasn’t like this in the beginning. What changed? Disappointment. That’s it. When what you expect, is not what you get. You’re fed up and can’t take it anymore and it’s time to call it quits, because they did not keep their end of the bargain.

Will He Wait?
A lot of women are deciding to abstain from sex until marriage for many reasons. The problem comes in when trying to date men who are accustomed to having sex while in a relationship.

Henson and Terrence Howard, with its twists, schemes, and sizzling manipulations is a no brainer; while others may see those viewers as…
Give Me That Old Time Religion
Growing up in a very strict and structured church, there were a lot of things that felt more like bondage than freedom in faith. I’d have to strip who I was (which was a very wholesome young lady might I say) Monday through Saturday and straighten up (even more so) on Sunday. It’s amazing how
