Six Characteristics for a Potential Spouse by Dennis Rainey


I am often asked, "What should a single person look for in a potential spouse?" Singles want to know...and parents want to know so they can pass the information on to the children. So I finally came up with the following list:
A woman should seek a man who…

1. Fears God.
2. Is not afraid to love.
3. Can admit his faults, his mistakes, and when he's hurt you.
4. Can control his passions.
5. Honors his parents. 
6. Is in the process of becoming a leader who knows how to serve. 

A man should seek a woman who…

1. Fears God and whose hope is in the Lord God.
2. Honors her parents.
3. Knows how to ask for forgiveness, admit she's wrong, grant forgiveness, and give grace when you fail her.
4. Wants to be a wife and a mother.
5. Displays character in her modest dress.
6. Knows how to follow a man.

The Ship and MaryLu Tyndall

One of my favorite authors, MaryLu Tyndall, has a blog called Cross and Cutlass. I love her books and I have read all of them! She writes Christian fiction, but what I love about her writing is most of it is about pirates. Yes, pirates. Her books are very fun!!!

On her blog, each week, she posts what she calls, "Wordless Wednesday". It is always a really cool picture! This week, I really liked the picture and I thought I would share it! Here is the link: http://crossandcutlass.blogspot.com/2011/08/wordless-wednesday_24.html

6 more credits down

I took the College Comp CLEP back in mid July. And I finally got my results from it in the mail yesterday!!!

I passed it! I now have all of my English credits fulfilled and I am 6 credits closer to graduation.

If you would like to learn more about CLEP exams, you can contact your college to make sure that they will accept them and you can also check out the CLEP website! They are just another way that can help  you to get through college a little faster and save you some money. Plus, you can study on your own time for these tests, schedule them, and take them when you want to.
