Reverent Sundays: Premarital Sex

Mar 11. 2012

Welcome to today’s installment of Reverent Sundays, where I write about an aspect of my faith. This can deal with recent books I have read on Christianity, my thoughts on religion and current issues, as well as particular messages I find touching and/or powerful. I am aware that most of my readers are not religious, and that is fine — you are more than welcome to not read these posts if they make you uncomfortable, enrage you, or bore you to tears. I am open to debates and discussions in the comments section as long as everyone remains respectful. Enjoy! A few weeks ago, an article in RELEVANT Magazine titled "The Secret Sexual Revolution" ignited much talk among the Christian blogs and...

Cute Interactions with Claire’s Lovey

Mar 09. 2012

Aerin’s Eczema Treatments

Mar 07. 2012

Our younger daughter may be a happier and easier baby than Claire, but as with many things in life her merry temperament seems to have come with a tradeoff: her sensitive, eczema-prone skin. No one else in J or my immediate families suffer from eczema so this is brand-new territory for us. (Our pediatrician told us that if neither parent has eczema, there is still a 20% chance of the child having it. If one parent has it? 60%. And if both parents have eczema? 80%.) And while Aerin's eczema has improved significantly since I quit breastfeeding — before, she had pus oozing from sores all over her face and body — she still suffers from extremely dry, itchy skin with the occasional...

Reverent Sundays: Child-Like Innocence?

Mar 04. 2012

Welcome to today’s installment of Reverent Sundays, where I write about an aspect of my faith.

I take delight in their happiness. And as I...
