“I want to travel the corners of the world. Err, scratch that. Corners of the world sounds like the places people barely go to when they travel. I’m a mainstream girl, and honestly, I want to go where the wave usually is. I want to go back to the States and stay there for at least an entire month. Ideally, on my own so no one will bother me. So I can pretend as if I have all the...

Hong Kong 2012 - Day 1/5
Because I rarely do anything ahead of deadline, I once again packed for this trip the last minute, keeping me awake until past midnight last night. Considering my flight was at 7:55 in the morning, my procrastination caused me to wake up 30 minutes later than 5, which couldn’t have given me much time allowance to begin with. Then again, my mom was also slow and late, so even if I woke up early, it...

Today's Must-Read: WAS I WRONG ABOUT DREAM GIRLS? →
“Perhaps God puts in our most intimate relationship to show us what he wishes to extract from us – the ugliness we wish to conceal. To put it more plainly: God uses marriage to make us more holy than he does to make us happy. That’s not to say that the two are mutually exclusive, that you can’t be holy and be happy, I was just trying to say that there should be a priority in how we choose...

Today's Must-Read: ON BEING MARRIED IN COLLEGE! →
leeyounger:
emilyruthwest asked:
Hey Lee! I was told to pick your brain about something… what are your thoughts about college students being married? Let’s say around senior year/just out of undergrad school. I want your full, honest opinion. On two students who are in love, live for Christ, and have briefly discussed the option and are searching for the advice of others. Give me all you’ve...

Today's Must-Read: "THE PROBLEM WITH NEW" →
“There’s an excitement that comes with getting something new. It’s fresh. It’s shiny. It’s untainted and idealized. When something is new, it exists as a symbol of hope—of what could be—without the blemishes of time and use. We’ve all been there before, putting hope in something new: buying a new Bible hoping it will reignite a pursuit of God, purchasing the newest Apple product...

How are you doing, really?
I just got home from our CS Small Group, and felt the need to write down all the things I was able to take home tonight.
I just thought maybe you’d want to hear them, too. :)

So we started off our discussion with a question that immediately created squeaky silence in the room, because it’s one of those questions that says, “Wake up, sleepyhead!”
“What...

Unka Glen's Citadel of Enlightenment: Basic... →
unkaglen:
jehalelel asked: Hey Unka Glen! Loved your post on “Advanced man-getting. Use only for good, not evil.” and I was wondering if you could give the other perspective? For a gentleman interested in a lady?
Sure thing. You’ve come to the right place.
1. Be courageous. I meet a lot of young Christians who do a lot of hand-wringing, and wander around in a fog of “who’s to say?”. Pray,...
