Big Changes

I made some pretty big changes to the site today. All new topics will now direct you to the forums to do commenting. I think this system will work better in the end. I am a bit worried it will lead to more spamming (just when I had started to get it under control) but I think there are more reasons to do it than not to do it.

If you want to reserve a user name in the forums, you should probably go over there and register yourself. That assures you that no one else will be able to post using your name. If you wish to remain anonymous you are free to do so, but be aware that if you do not register and post under the name “Fred,” anyone else will also be able to post under that name until it is registered. Just some food for thought…

There is an area in the forum for you to post your own topics, so let’s make this a great, interactive forum!

    I often think there is a kind of paradoxical quality to sex within marriage. It’s paradoxical in that few things have greater ability to bring blessing (through its right use) or to bring cursing (through its misuse). Not only that, but few things bring greater joy to a marriage, and also, in so many cases,…
