This story contains brief strong language. (L) You can read about annotations here. This is a fantasy based on the train trip we had to cancel due to quarantine. We planned a vacation for just the two of us, and we weren’t going to be in a rush. Driving was too tiring, and frankly, […]
When you have an infant that sleeps in your room, you have to make some adaptations. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are powerful motivators. Well, one warm Texas afternoon, we had finally gotten our son to sleep in a bassinet that attached to the side of our bed. We were both tired but also had some […]
The Bible has much to say about healthy habits and taking care of our bodies as the temple of the Spirit. Well, it turns out some marital advice, or rather admonitions, given by Paul in 1st Corinthians, chapter 7, have health benefits as well—for men at least. In 1 Corinthians 7:3, 5 Paul wrote, A […]
We were on our honeymoon, and we were a very hot couple. Seriously hot. We were near Redding, California in late July, and it was easily 105° outside—so everyone was hot! We had just come back from our first stop of a few days on the Northern California coast amongst the Redwoods and were going […]
With many people being rightly concerned about COVID-19, and not wanting to spread it to those who are most vulnerable, I suggest we take the preventive measure of wearing little to no clothing while at home.

Back in 1990, during my military career, I used to deploy for six months or more at a time. Miltary service, especially the long separations, can be very hard on marriages and families. When I would return, my wife and I would take a mini honeymoon, which was always great but not as good as […]

Zion and “Daughter Zion” are commonly used to reference Jerusalem and the whole people […]
The experience I am writing about was truly special, and has not happened before or since. We were a young couple, working hard to make ends meet. We weren’t poor, but we had to watch every dollar. When a marriage weekend conference was announced, we pretty much assumed we would not be able to go […]
I hate being lied to. There’s not much I detest as much as that, especially if believing the lie has cost me something. That is why I go to the effort to dispel what I believe to be unbiblical lies that we have bought into in Western culture that rob us of the joy of […]
After reading about the benefits of naked living, and realizing that this is the way God created us to live, parents often wonder how to make the transition to a clothing-free home. Here are some basic steps to follow. Teach your family about what God has done for them to have this privilege. God created […]
As time goes by, and as more of life is experienced, I’ve had those times where I need to pray, and my vocabulary fails me. There are times where what I need to express to God is too high, or too deep, or even too painful for human language. In those times, things like tears, […]
Sacramental Sexuality (Or how to become sacrosexual) Some of you may think that these two words, “sacramental sexuality” do not belong together. But as previous studies here have shown, they most certainly do! Let’s take a closer look at this term, and see just how all of this fits together! First off, the word “sacrament” […]
