No offense meant at all, but this seems very similar to the classic "God is all you need" mantra, which I do not believe in the absolute sense. Here's the reason for my stance - if that were true, then God never would've made Eve to begin with. The first thing God saw in Eden which He described...

I never understood the vegetarian or vegan mentalities. Now admittedly, I'm not much of a pet person, but I do think we should do our best to care for them gently as stewards, like God would expect us to. Having said that, we also need to recognize that they are not our equals, and stop treating...

Generally speaking, I can be fairly territorial with some things, but I'm not mean-spirited or super-strict about it; I just don't want to be a doormat. If the woman I end up marrying expects me to compromise on certain things, then she must be willing to do the same.

Well, the small place I live in doesn't appear to have any single Christian women my age; I'll be 45 in August. The church I go to is largely divided between two groups: couples 65 and over, or the same who are my age with kids. The main reason that I decided to try online dating was because my...

I have said this for years - "If singleness is a gift, I want my receipt!"

Hey, all. About two weeks ago, I closed my account on Christian Cupid, having signed up in February. In short, it was a total disaster - people were using false profile pictures, no details on their own pages, and asking me questions they could've learned the answers to from reading my own...

Here's a list of oddball facts for y'all, that I found some time ago... 1) Men can usually read smaller printed words, but women can hear better. 2) Coca-Cola was originally green. 3) It is physically impossible to lick your own elbow (admit you just tried it). 4) Alaska has the highest...

On a certain level, I do think some Americans have become far too content with "just skating by". Like others have mentioned, our current school system rewards silence, obedience, and compromise...all of which tend to favor girls far more often than boys. So if a female student is focusing on a...

I used to tinker with things like painting on glass and making my own greeting cards as a kid, but haven't kept it going in years. I am a moderate Photoshop junkie these days though, so I make custom covers for my home video collection as a hobby.

Contrary to popular belief, road runners are actually slower than coyotes. The average top speed for a desert coyote is 40 miles an hour, while a road runner averages about half at 20. And just for kicks, your average hedgehog only runs about 5 miles an hour - Sega's been lying to us for...

My main concern with there being so many denominations, is that some of them are 100% adamant that they're completely right, and everyone else is wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if a few became so bold as to tell people that if they don't follow their group's rules, they'll go to hell for it...

I checked all the boxes, because they made me smile and laugh, which is one of the joys of Christmas. As for gifts, I didn't get many, but they were appreciated. My younger sister Lauren sent me an Amazon gift card in the mail, which I used to buy The Polar Express and three classic TV specials...

My one and only resolution every year, is that I no longer make any resolutions. In my opinion, that's just setting myself up for an easy opportunity to break them.

I don't watch a lot of TV anymore, because so much of it has become either overtly crass or so PC it makes me want to throw up. That said, I am looking forward to the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again from Marvel. I hope they release it on disc though, because I have the first two seasons of...

Here's a shot I just snapped with my webcam. :D
