Myths Single Women Believe

Since November, my Home Community has been meeting once a month with the men and women separated into two groups. My husband meets with guys to talk about guy issues and I have been leading the women in a discussion on sexuality (the topic was decided long before the Women's Forums were initiated).

Following the second forum on sexuality, we had a lively discussion and I received some encouraging feedback. It worked out that our next split HC meeting was scheduled right after the second panel session. As I listened to the questions posed that evening, I realized that more time needed to be devoted to the plight of the singles, especially those who desired to honor God with their purity yet struggled to find a husband or wondered how to prepare for marriage.

Excerpts and musings...

The Multnomah County library proved a sound starting point for mulling over recent forum topics... Armed with the suggested reading lists, I went on a "place hold" frenzy. Not all have arrived; probably a good thing, too, since my night stand is piled high and the stack continues to grow (Oregon sunshine is pushing me toward botanical tomes)...but I've discovered some jewels among those books that have already arrived. Out of those discoveries, I've also returned a few of the barcoded volumes and purchased my own copies at the Imago bookstore so that I may freely highlight and underline.
