Corrie Ten Boom had stumbled upon a poem that had the word sexsin among its lines. And so, seated next to Father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sexsin?” He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing. At … More Follow-Up to Porn Attack
I just read an article that says by the time a child reaches 11 years of age majority will have already been introduced to pornography in some way or another. Does this make anyone else sick? Angry?

The other night my two kids were reciting their memory verses to Jen and me. There was a line that stuck out to me. “Do everything in love.” I have really been thinking about this.
