{Single Saints} Service: The S-word That Really Isn’t So Bad
Resist the urge to groan and click away. Service, or volunteerism, or ritualistic self-sacrifice, or whatever you want to call it, is more important to a single Saint than you think. When I see the word “service” in the title of an article, I usually devote just enough of my mental faculties to...

It may be unromantic to admit that there's not just one, perfect person out there, but it's certainly a lot more comforting. (And not to mention easier.) I don’t believe in a one, true love. Now, maybe that makes me a cynic. Or maybe it just makes me realistic. But it seems like a lot of the big...

{Single Saints} Faith in the Little Things
I've realized there's no reason for me to be pessimistic about getting married. What kind of a person does it make me if I dwell on the timing of His fulfillment, rather than having faith in the promise? Not long ago, I viewed the prospect of marriage like I viewed the prospect of gaining...
{Single Saints} How My Life Is Like a Chick Flick
My life the past, oh, 15 years has felt a little like one (really long) chick flick. Or more specifically, the first 15 minutes of a chick flick. You know the part of the movie I am talking about—the set up. The opening scenes where we learn about the main character and are subjected to...
{Single Saints} The Talk
The other day I had The Talk with a girl.
