For those with no prospects currently on the horizon...
We have recently been encouraged (by a certain someone's blog posts *ahemJonathan*) to wed early. That's great - but most of us are past that chance by now. Sure, we may want to get married sometime in the future.... But currently we're single. Very much so. Living in the future does not work, not any better than living in the past. Studying the past and planning for the future are good, but we can only live in the present. Which is, for us, singleness. To that end, I contribute to the discussion an excellent article on singleness, shamelessly ripped from Ashlea's blog :). May it be thought provoking and enjoyable.

Umm... not any more. I got back to the States two weeks before the fall semester started. So I'm on campus :).

It's thought-provoking. Having been on both sides of the fence, I think the article hits the main point - whether single or in a relationship, I will answer to God for my pursuit of Him and His will for my life.
Downside for the taken - we have one more distraction from that pursuit. :)
I promise I will answer your email; bridesmaids dresses are at the bottom of my list at the moment!

Nice call, Firinnteine. :)
Oh, and isn't life mostly about changing the present? Being content in the Lord is commendable, but the Christian walk is ultimately about motion, putting on righteousness and running the race in pursuit of Christ.
Seems like marriage is often (though not necessarily) part of that process...
