A nonprofit organization is offering a $10,000 prize to an engaged couple that will agree to abstain from premarital sex — and no one has entered the contest!
“Someone asked me, ‘Is anyone going to respond?'” said contest organizer Phillippia Faust, director of an abstinence education program for Rockdale, DeKalb and Newton counties. “In our society, it is going to be hard to find [a couple who has not had premarital sex]. … But the standard is the standard.”
The prize also includes free flowers, invitations and other bridal goodies. I am sure there must be some eligible Christian couples who have already taken a stand on this issue. But if you want to enter, you had better move fast. The deadline is October 31.

A friend of mine told me about this contest…too bad it’s not for Travis County, Texas or Williamson, County, Texas…we’re engaged to be married in June 2009 and are waiting until our wedding night to have sex.
Della — Good for you! That would be awesome if the contest were being held in your county. All the best to you and your fiance.
