Start Building Your Network Early
Remember the age old saying, ‘It’s not what you know, but who you know’. While this doesn’t prove true every time, there is a still a truckload of truth in it.

Have you ever started a new dating relationship with every good intention to pursue s*xual purity, yet within a few weeks you cross a line you promised you never would?

Are you currently in a dating relationship and your purity is hanging on for dear life, with too many close calls with your boyfriend/girlfriend every date night?

Maybe you have managed to withhold from going “all the way,” but that “not so bad” stuff has become commonplace in your relationship?

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Is s*xual purity even possible? Is it even worth it?”

In today’s s*x-crazed, Fifty Shades of Grey, and “purity is lame” culture, I’m sure many of us have found ourselves in one of the scenarios described above. Let’s be honest… it is really hard for two young, hormone-filled people who are intensely attracted to each other to keep their hands off each other.

My wife and I can definitely relate. In the five years we dated before getting married, pursuing purity in our relationship was definitely a…

Summertime and the living is easy. People are going on big, fancy, week-long trips. Others are going to the beach every weekend. Everyone is having more adventures than you are. At least, that’s what it can feel like on social media. The single person sees pictures of families having fun and longs to have a family of her own one day. A barren woman sees jokes about it taking so long to gather children and their belongings together before an outing and longs for the chance to have kids. Families struggling to pay the bills each month wonder how others can take extravagant vacations.

Yes, social media can cause you to long for something other than what you have.

Social media is a place where you consciously or unconsciously compare your life with other people’s lives. When you do this, you’re often comparing your everyday life with someone else’s highlights. This isn’t a fair comparison. It is like comparing your just-woken-up face with the cover of a magazine where the model has spent th…

After weeks of public furore and media frenzy, a sudden blackout has descended on the case of Chukwuduneme Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, Nigeria’s infamous billionaire kidnapper, thus fueling speculations that he’s escaped, or dead. Saturday Sun has however gathered that Evans is not dead as his family now fears but has been moved from the Lagos police command headquarters cell by about 30 heavily armed men at midnight few days ago to an undisclosed destination. Some senior police officers in the know told Saturday Sun he was moved to Abuja.

Indeed, in the last few days, a palpable silence seemed to have enshrouded the Evans phenomenon. Where is Evans? It is a question the police is not prepared to officially answer right now. A man who hitherto divulged the details of his criminal life to the public almost on a daily basis is suddenly no longer accessible to even the press corps.

All a reporter who visited the state police command was told was that Evans is no longer allowed to talk to the…

A woman charged with killing four of her young children and her husband smiled and flashed a double thumbs up to news cameras during her first court appearance Friday in metro Atlanta before telling a judge she doesn't want an attorney.

Isabel Martinez, 33, appeared before Gwinnett County Magistrate Court Judge Michael Thorpe a day after police said she stabbed the five to death and seriously injured another child at her home. The surviving 9-year-old girl remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

Before the hearing began, Martinez sat with other inmates and posed for cameras — smiling, giving the thumbs up, putting her hands in a prayer position and spreading her arms out wide.

As Thorpe listed the charges — five counts of malice murder, five counts of murder and six counts of aggravated assault — Martinez smiled, shook her head "no" and wagged her finger at him.

"Ma'am, I'm going to caution you to cut out the display for the cameras," he said. "It…
