Porn will not make you a better man. It will make you smaller. It will make you a liar. It will kill that instinct inside you that calls you to protect and honor women. It will turn you into something you never wanted to be. It will turn you into a sneaky, shameful pervert. It... Continue Reading

If I was planning my life, my mother would live next door, have Sunday dinner with us (at least!), help my kids with science and math homework, babysit a couple evenings a month, give me advice on my garden, and tell me honestly if the new pants do make me look fat. At times, I... Continue Reading
