Well, I'm back to college again, and I'm living in the dorms as opposed to living off-campus like I did last semester; I'm starting to see what college life is like. The way a lot of these guys act, I'm afraid that they don't take college seriously. I guess I'm just tired of hearing people complain that they get bad grades in their classes, but all they do when they're in the dorms is goof off and play games with guys.
You came to a Christian campus to learn - to grow in your faith with God. There is certainly a time to hang out and build relationships with your fellow students, but work on your priorities. College isn't all fun. There's work to do, there are assignments to get done. If you're going to mess around the whole time, you can do it for a lot less than $300 a credit hour.

Really guys?
To all you married, engaged, dating, or prospectively dating men:
Who the crap do you think you are? That woman that is walking alongside you in life is FAR more than you ever deserved. She is worth so much, and entirely worthy of the greatest honor you can give her. Just because you're a guy - the "man of the family" - you think you can treat your wife or girlfriend like a piece of property? You're not the center of the world; rather, you ought to act as though others are. Put your wife first - she deserves it. Put yourself last - you deserve it.
As Proverbs 31:10 says, a wife is worth much more than you can ever hope to gain. You should treat your woman like she is worth a million dollars, and gains interest every day. Maybe your home life is hard; maybe there's a lot of stress between you two right now, and your harshness with her is a result of that. Do me and yourself a favor - try treating your wife with respect, dignity, honor, and love for just one week, and see if that tension is not at least lifted a little. Do you want to enjoy your relationship? Treat her with respect. Put her before you. Give her your time, your love, your resources, your mind, your strength, your patience, your wisdom, and keep nothing for yourself - and see if she does not do the same for you. There is reciprocity in true love. Read Ephesians 5:33.
I am so sick and tired of seeing men act as though there wives were only there because the man had allowed her to be - had done her a favor by marrying her. Stop treating your wife as though marrying her was a mistake by you! SO much good can come from any marriage, if both sides stop looking at themselves and begin considering the other's beauty - the beauty of their mind, heart, soul, and body. Your wife is a gift - treat her as such.
Our society is a crumbling community of people who are losing all respect for anyone but themselves. Selfishness is taking the place of humbleness and is kicking its way into too many marriages and intimate relationships. I am calling all men who are reading this right now to draw the line and create a boundary for ourselves. We ought to say "This is where I stop. I will NOT treat my wife as though I deserved her, or she deserved me." I am throwing the gauntlet down. Will you join me?
