The underlying message of most ad campaigns is, “Indulge. You deserve it!” The Wild Thing would agree. She feels entitled to indulge in all sorts of pleasures… visits to the spa, beauty treatments, splurging on the sexy red dress and that pricey, exotic fragrance. And if she decides to indulge in a night of forbidden [...]
Calling all shopaholics… Is the pride-and-joy item in your closet a pair of Manolo Blahniks? Do you like to have a look at the label and see designer names like Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Armani, or Versace? If so, you may have a lot in common with the woman of Proverbs 7. She had impeccable [...]
My son and his friends have an acronym for guys who are being smothered by needy girlfriends. It’s “CGS,” which stands for “Clingy Girlfriend Syndrome.” Some girls are so needy for attention and affirmation that they cling to men like plastic wrap to a piece of raw meat.

“Barefoot, pregnant, and tied to the kitchen sink” is a popular phrase that depicts the sorry state of the traditional housewife. Feminism liberated women from these supposed “shackles” and encouraged us to get out of the house. But the Bible says that constantly being “out and about” is a mark of a Girl Gone Wild…”her [...]
Girl Power! Girls Rule! I am Woman hear me ROAR!… Pop culture upholds a saucy, sassy, my-way-or-highway, karate-chopping, male-kicking attitude as the ideal for women. But the Bible portrays a loud, defiant disposition as an ugly, undesirable by-product of sin. It upholds a markedly different type of attitude for women as “very precious” in the [...]
The image of Wile E. Coyote obsessively scheming to catch the Roadrunner fits the description of the Wild Thing to a T. Shes wily of heart. No matter how many times this approach blows up in her face, she continues to scheme to get the guy to do what she wants. In this Girls Gone [...]
