Dammit, we missed a special day

This Valentine's Day, young people throughout the nation and the world are taking a stand for sexual purity, self-respect, and voluntary sexual abstinence as the third annual "Day of Purity" takes place on Tuesday.

The Day of Purity, a project of the Florida-based pro-family organization Liberty Counsel, is an annual observance designed to encourage young people to remain sexually pure until marriage. Mathew Staver, president of Liberty Counsel, says the message of the special focus day and its related events run counter to the teen-targeted messages about sex that come from secular culture.
