12 for 2012
This year, I'm working on 12 for 2012. Twelve what? Resolutions, fiats, or grand schemes. Whatever they are, the 12 for 2012 list is going to happen.
Get Beyond The Hot To The Holy
I have a confession to make. I’ve been guilty of judging churches by how hot the attendees are. It’s true. If there are hot males my age, the chances are I’ll give that church a second chance. I’d be an idiot not to. I’m not a bar hopper so what better place to find a...
Scared in Sweden
Another reader question. This one from a would-be missionary. If you have a question of your own…fire away. Dear Caitlin, I really feel like God has called me to work with orphans. I’m returning to an orphanage for a few weeks to help some kids out. The orphanage is in Sweden, a place that...
Sadly Single in St. Louis
This was a real reader question. I’m passing it on to you. Dear Caitlin, It seems like all I hear the women in my church and community talking about is how good guys are so hard to find. I’m really beginning to doubt. I know several guys just like me – great men you’d be...

What My First Boyfriend Taught Me
I saw him at the coffee shop. He had come in for a job interview and I was sure that he would be perfect for the assistant manager. It didn’t matter that she had a boyfriend already. There was something enigmatic about this boy that I knew would be perfect for her. Perhaps it was...
Facts About Texas (As Compiled By An Outsider)
The other night, I started randomly compiling a list of facts about Texas. I was emailing a friend, it was late, and I was in one of those cheeky moods that only happen when you hit the sweet spot of lack of sleep and good cheer. He replied that I needed to post them, so...
Food for My Soul
Last night, I picked up a slim volume of poetry from my small bookshelf. The book has followed me across the country, read more in high school and college than after I was freed from the deadlines. It turns out that I was also freed from some of the incentive. A girl who reads sonnets...
You Can’t Marry A Hot Vampire And Other Things Keepers Should Read
Instead of bringing you another guest post, I’m sharing with you some of the things that have been challenging me lately in my quest for love. Well, not in my quest for love per say. My quest to become a keeper. The topic of sexual purity keeps coming up. And it’s a good thing....
