s we prepare for the upcoming national broadcasts, it occurred to me that after nearly two years of blogging here, it's time for a blog face lift. You know, if blogs had faces. And as with a real face lift, I'm working to make this as seamless as possible!

esterday, Albert Mohler talked on his radio show about "The Case for (Early) Marriage," the Mark Regnerus cover story in this month's Christianity Today magazine. It's an exceptional article that, while sobering, offers much hope in the way of exposing the problem of extended singleness in such a visible and influencial place.… Continue

ast week I received an email from a man who is considering having his eyelids done. He is of Asian descent and is pondering the procedure, wondering if it might make him more attractive and thereby, more marriageable. That's the tough question I answer in today's Boundless Answers column.

ust because societal norms are to marry

fallen world — the latter being my situation at present), doesn't mean

our God-given sexuality is delayed along with the marriage plans. So

how do we deal?"



That's what one reader asked me for this week's Boundless Answers. It's a question I suspect all Christian single women ask, whether out loud or just in their own heads. I know I did. So what's… Continue
