"No adultery is bloodless."---Natalia Ginzburg

 

This particular situation is close to my heart because I have been the person crying and confused over this exact scenario. Honestly, my relationship with God has become stronger because He has guided me through my feelings and self-inflicted guilt due to becoming involved with a man who has an ex-wife and two small children. I will venture to...

"Sex is emotion in motion."---Mae West

 

Mae West’s quote, “Sex is emotion in motion” is a far cry from truth in my world. Frankly, this quote is disgusting to me. As I reflect on any past decision or action taken on emotion, it has gotten me absolutely nowhere. Let’s reverse back to my life four not so short years ago...

At this time in 2009, I was hungry for attention. I was at the end of a...

Porn makes me angry. Porn makes me cry.  Porn is relief. Porn is easy. Porn is one of the reasons I have issues with almost any relationship.  Porn has educated me. Porn. Porn. Porn.

Let me skip the road with you
I can dare myself

I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk (watch me walk)
I can walk and walk!
(I can...

 

A few months ago, I was listening to a pastor speaking about changes in life in an Easter Sunday service.  He said we always like for people, especially ones who we haven’t seen in a good while, to come up to us and say, “Wow, you haven’t changed a bit!” This statement is very complimentary to our egos, but not really much else.  It would be much more endearing to our hearts (though we...

What You've Never Done- A Good Southern Girl's GUIDE to a Disastrous Coming Out Party

I have been a hider for most of my life.  "The truth" and "What is in the light of day" have always been things in my life that have gray areas shaded in them.  I’ve tried to blame this problem on my parents, my upbringing, my...
