Women are beautiful and I assume that most of us can agree on that. With that being said, we don’t all agree on what makes women beautiful. While many people compare and contrast the value of feminine characteristics, I have discovered that one reigns supreme. A woman’s knowledge and thirst for God sits high above any physical, intellectual, or personality characteristic. Some have made this argument before and yet few of them have explained practically why the attribute of knowing…
So far, I haven’t talked on the blog about the book that I am writing. I actually started working on the book well before I started on the blog but I’ve kind of played it close to the vest up until now.

We come into this world with a broken heart because our heart misses God. In order to prove my point, we’ll have to take a step back and look at some of the great stories of our time. Recently…
