Today I'm sharing 7 Quick Takes Favorites and linking up with Kelly at This Ain't The Lyceum.
1. Cara Strickland guest posted on The Junia Project this wonderful post about what she learned whilst dating. I read this and cried tears of both sadness and joy to have someone articulate some of my experiences.
2. This post about getting to know a person instead of a potential future spouse made me rethink the way I think about meeting Mr. TDH.
3. Sarah Bessey wrote this post called "Damaged Goods" - yes yes yes.
4. Jayson Bradley nailed it in this post about "Christian cleavage." Thank you, thank you, thank you.
5. "To the Christian Men and Women Debating Yoga Pants" in Christianity Today - thank God someone wrote this. For the love, people.
6. Since we're finishing up the month dedicated to love and relationship-status-awareness, "Things It's OK to Feel When You're Single" and "I'm Single. Stop Pitying Me on Valentine's Day" were especially appreciated. My Valentine's Day was fantastic, thanks, and while someday it will be a romantic day, this year it was a crepes-with-my-sister-and-friend day, and I had a great time. For real, no pity.
7. Finally, to end with some laughs, Mallory Ortberg's post on "If Stanley Tucci Were Your Boyfriend" is beautiful and perfect and true.
Enjoy your weekend, friends!
