Christmas: Not the Time To Go Into Debt
My life with debt has seen its ups and downs. When I got out of college, one of my first big purchases was a used car. It cost me $6,000, for which I took out my first auto-loan. Of course, with little expenses1 and a full time job, I was able to repay the loan [...]
Unwed Pregnancies are a Product of Western Culture
In a recent article on sex education at The Week, the question was posed, “Should sex educators teach kids about pleasure?” The responses were mixed, and the comments were along the same line—they’re going to do it anyway. This has been the common refrain with discussions of birth control, abortion and unwed moms, but rather [...]
Living In Love
This summer, my wife and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. It seems hard to believe that it was ten years ago that we were standing in her home church exchanging vows and that the time would fly by this fast! Ten years and four kids later (fifth on the way!), it seemed like a [...]
National Single and Unmarried Americans Week
Did you know that it is the National Single and Unmarried American’s Week? Neither did I until I learned it from the New York Times! They believe that it’s a shame that we push people into marriage. Personal experience tells me that people in general don’t seem to have that problem. The value of marriage [...]
What could God Possibly Have Against Braided Hair?
One of the most interesting passages of Scripture on the topic of modesty is the one that we find ourselves faced with this morning—the topic of braided hair in 1 Peter 3: “Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without [...]
What Role Does Weight Play In Marriage?
In the Country Song, Hot Mama, Trace Adkins confronts something all marriage relationships go through: You’re doin’ all you can to get in them old jeans. You want that body back, you had at seventeen. Baby, don’t get down; don’t worry ’bout a thing. ‘Cause the way you fill ‘em out, hey, that’s all right [...]
Straight Talk on The Debt Ceiling
You know what really gets me going—the political theater that’s going on in Washington right now. For weeks I’ve been mulling over this thing, and I’ve come to a few conclusions.
Is Homeschooling For Everyone?
The truth of the matter is, before any child is sent off to school, daycare, head-start or any of these locations outside of the home, they are homeschooled: Until you put your child in a "head start" program or kindergarten, what had you been doing with them? Many parents of young children will say they [...]
The Problem of Cohabitation
John Curtis, Ph.D., of WeCohabitate.com had an extensive comment to Practicing Failure, a post on this site that talked about the problem of cohabitation. So, I figured that it’d be beneficial to address some his point1. I will not be reprinting the e-mail in total, due to its length, not content [↩]
What Will Start the Homeschooling Tidal Wave?
Many of us that believe that homeschooling is the best option for raising children wonder when it will dawn on other Christian believers that sending their children to be indoctrinated by the humanist school system might not be the best choice for their kids. Things like this e-mail from Rachel make you wonder if anyone’s [...]
Bill Me Later
Rachel sent me this e-mail some time ago: I was looking online today at Amazon for a book and I noticed under the "promotions" box that Amazon now offers the Bill Me Later option for your purchases (which I think gives you 90 days to pay it back but I’m not sure; I’ll have to [...]
We Should Not Raise the Debt Ceiling
What would consumers do if they could arbitrarily print money or raise their credit limit every time they got out of debt? Well, you don’t have to wonder at this hypothetical—the U.S. government is showing you in real-time. Vox Day addresses two of the main arguments for raising the ceiling: Not raising the debt ceiling [...]
It Takes Two
It was High School. Eleventh Grade. I was in Social Studies class and the teacher, a younger guy who was still full of energy and wanting to teach, decided that it would be interesting to get a class debate together decided on the topic of abortion. Abortion is a weird topic for teens, because many [...]
Identity Crisis
Why do we expect men and women to be the same? They aren’t. I know, that statement may surprise some of you, but hear me out. Ever since the mid 1900’s, what we’ve expected of women has changed. She was no longer allowed to think that her life was complete by simply being a woman [...]
