As I'm preaching through both Proverbs and 1 Corinthians, sexual sin and how to encourage Godly sexuality has been much on my mind. In her essay "Let's Have More Teen Pregnancy," posted on Beliefnet, Frederica Mathewes-Green makes many of the common-sense arguments for early marriage which have been rattling around in my head.
There are too many choice bits to warrant quoting here what would turn out to be the essay's bulk. Just click and read.
Matthew W. Kingsbury has been a minister of Word and sacrament in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church since 1999. At present, he teaches 5th-grade English Language Arts at a charter school in Cincinnati, Ohio. He longs for the recovery of confessional and liturgical presbyterianism, the reunification of the Protestant Church, the restoration of the American Republic, and the salvation of the English language from the barbarian hordes.

Relieved and concerned
As a semi-regular bicycle commuter, I'm relieved that a new bike safety law, which went into effect today, makes it illegal to throw an object at a cyclist from a passing car. At the same time, I'm a tad concerned to learn that until now, attempted assault or manslaughter was perfectly legal so long as the intended victim was a cyclist.
