I think the first thing we need to do in order to have this conversation is level the playing field. Several people have left comments or sent emails saying something to the effect of “I think it’s great that you’ve made the choice to remain a virgin but? Me? Well, it’s too late for me.” [...]

Some days, when I deal with a situation that gets my hands messy, I write a blog post about it. Other days, I swim laps at the indoor pool trying to somehow get free of the feeling of having a weight tied to my neck that’s pulling me to the bottom of the pool. Those [...]

I mentioned late last week that I was working up the nerve to write more (almost a response) on the feedback I got on this post about the big S-E-X. Or, you know, lack thereof in this single girl’s life. I like to think that I’m not just practicing abstinence; I’m perfecting it. Here’s why [...]

Well, this week started off on the right foot this morning at 4:30 a.m. when, in the cover of darkness that occurs when one doesn’t actually turn one’s kitchen light on, I accidentally took a swig of laundry detergent instead of Gatorade. It was tasty, to say the least. My weekend was absolutely packed, with [...]

Some weeks — like ones where you’ve been out of town, had three water pipes burst in your office, worked 70+ hours, cleaned up the mess from your ceiling falling in from the burst pipes — yes, some weeks it is just fine to serve pizza to your college girls.  Especially if you buy extra [...]

Meet K, R and P — the triplets best known from Lots of Scotts (one of my all-time favorite blogs).  I’m staying with their family tonight and what a night it’s been so far!  If you’ve never had dinner at a Japanese restaurant with four year old triplets, you simply haven’t lived.  We followed dinner [...]

I know I just told you about what I’m going to do this weekend, but I’m back for a quick second to tell you that homegirl here is in need of a little prayer. I’m running behind, haven’t packed and — to top things off — my cell phone is suddenly missing. I haven’t slept [...]

I’m heading out of state later today to speak at an event this weekend that I’ve been looking forward to since the moment I found out about it, mainly because of the subject matter — my testimony. Or, as I like to think of it, How God Pulled Me Out Of A Heck Of A [...]

I’m sorry to have to admit that today’s my first day of having a no-caffeine victory this week.  Water all day long, sometimes with a little lemon.  And yes, I almost fell asleep at my desk this afternoon.
