Single Christian alone in field encouraged by his advantages

It’s tough being a single Christian today.

Should Christian Date a Non-Christian Thumbnail (Angry Couple)

“Should a Christian date a non-Christian?” That’s actually a very common question.

I’m not sure exactly when things changed, but some time years ago, a dreaded event happened: I became important at work. I was no longer a happy face just filling a role on the team.

“This chick has BPD.” It only took 15 minutes of watching Amber Heard’s testimony for me to see she had a personality disorder. I had no idea the trial between Heard and Johnny Depp would be livestreamed, so I didn’t tune in to the popular case until Heard’s team began their defense.
