It's not uncommon as a parent to try and ignore the fact that sooner or later you must have the big talk with your child. As a parent, I have first hand knowledge of how difficult it is to imagine your child one day engaging in intercourse with another person. The problem is that my dread of this eventual certainty should not mean my child is left in the dark when it comes to understanding her future desires. Quite honestly, I believe this to be one of the biggest factors of why many parents either put off the big talk or ignore the topic completely.

While I'm no expert in this field but I can tell you that as the father of a 12 year old girl, I'm not afraid to talk to my daughter about sex. All it took for me to be comfortable in talking to my child about sex was just taking the bull by the horns and being proactive at an earlier age.

Can a dream be proof of God's existence?

Events have transpired over the past few years that have me looking for proof that God actually exists. I'm not sure if age has sparked this interest in finding God, if it's a culmination of life experiences up until this point , a realization that my mortality will one day come into question and/or the dreams I have now and again with the "other guy" in them? Irregardless, the path I've embarked upon is still shrouded in mystery and the only luggage I carry is my faith.

The question is, do I intend to keep my faith to myself or will I be putting it into something much larger?
