    What Unites the 30's?

    Besides our age (obviously), what is the common thread between us all? Or is there one? Is it our place in this world? Our status as parents? Spouses? Children of baby boomers?

    Don't Take Love Lying Down

    This book is written by Brad Henning, who travels around, speaking to high school students about staying abstinent until marriage. As a 29-year old father, I found it to be full of some great conversation points. I would recommend this book to any single person and any parents of teens/tweens.

    Worship Songs That Suck

    Now, I know that all praise and worship songs are to be glorifying to God, and I have no doubt that He takes pleasure in all of them. But which P&W songs do you not like at all? Which songs make you want to gag when you hear them? For me, "Every Move I Make" comes to mind.
