Virginity Rocks…But not on a T-Shirt
This article from Boundless is worth reading just for this one section: “You see, since being married I’ve learned a lot about the differences between the male and female mind.

    What Makes You Beautiful

    I have often thought of a conversation that took place when my girls were little.
