Connie, dear, it is clear that you have temporarily gotten the upper hand on this website. But watch out, because a dose of nonsense is bound to follow your deep, thought-provoking, and profoundly toe-stepping offerings. It always does.

Just thought I’d warn you.

Connie talks to the elephant in the room and finds answers to some interesting frequently asked questions, such as, “How can you expect to get married if you don’t cultivate romantic attractions in your heart?”

This is part 3 of “How to Surrender Your Desire for Marriage to God (and mean it!).”

When I was 3 years old I held the key to unlock the mystery of predestination and free will. Of course, I didn’t unlock it for 25 years or so.

Part 2 of “How to Surrender Your Desire for Marriage to God (and mean it!).”

In this installment, Connie explores how to overcome the addiction to lust (covetousness) and live virtuously. She reveals the reason WHY you should yield your natural desires to God every time you’re tempted to think on your infatuation (even 60+ times per minute).

As always, this is suitable reading for girls and boys.

Connie wrote this latest essay last week, with the thought to post it today. Saturday a blogging friend linked to an article on the same topic. Sunday, Monday, and again today another friend posted appeals on her blog to consider this most important issue in our culture.

Connie wouldn’t care about other people taking HER ideas, but this has happened with almost everything she has written in the past 3 months! She writes, waits, and gets beaten to the punch.

Still, she refuses to compromise her editing procedure. Maybe you haven’t see the other articles. Or maybe you need to hear it from more than one source.

Connie doesn’t mind being an echo, if you’ll only listen.

Near and dear to Connie’s heart is the topic of choosing books and stories that help one think rightly about the Lord and the Bible. Having endured painful consequences from her own selfish reading habits, she would echo the caution in this final essay by Mabel Hale.

By the way, if you’ve enjoyed this series on Habits, be sure to read the special offer at the end of this post!

Connie was sobered by the truthful but unknowing confession of a person who passively regards God, but does not live for Him. Is it possible to live in neutral?
