After years of dreaming and planning, we sold our San Diego County home in 2002. We have been traveling for thirteen years, and have slept in more than 800 beds in 45 states and several foreign countries. Early in our travels, we discovered house and pet sitting. When people travel, we live in their homes, loving and caring for their pets and plants. "We Sleep Around" shares the story of our first five years of traveling. Leaving our home for the last time, we thought it might be a five year adventure. This book ends when Bill departs for Baghdad, Iraq for a contract assignment with the U.S. Government. Continuing our adventure we will be "Still Sleeping Around," and finally "Done Sleeping Around." Although not for everyone, house and pet sitting has greatly enhanced our opportunity to travel. We will continue until someday we grow up and say, "enough" and close the book on our final chapter of traveling.

Answers one of the biggest barriers to belief. Christians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation and homosexuality. In fact for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity. Sam Allberry, author of many books including Is God Anti-gay sets out God's good design for the expression of human sexuality, showing that God himself is love and that only he can satisfy our deepest desires.
