XXXChurch: Womens Blog

Yeah. Well.

So, I was teaching a class recently and talking to an unmarried couple where the woman (mid-30s) is about to have her first child with a man (late 40s) is about to have his seventh with her. As we were discussing the circumstances that led them to their current state, it was...let's use the word, intriguing, how the man didn't think that he had any kind of sexual control issue. And...

Do I believe casual sex exists?   I definitely do.  I believe that sex outside of marriage is perfectly embodied by everything that the word “casual” means.  If you’ve ever looked “casual” up, it’s pretty interesting. Here is the Webster’s Dictionary’s definition of the word:  

1) subject to, resulting from, or occurring by chance <a casual meeting>
2) a : occurring without regularity : b :...

It just keeps going...and going and...

So earlier this month, I was reading an article that thanks (?!?) to social media and the beauty (?!?) of online chat loving (the cheapest and oftentimes most delusional kind of dating...*ever*), syphillis and chlamydia are on the rise. In Canada (you know, the "other" North America-LOL), their syphillis rate has gone up tenfold since 2000 and chlamydia...

To get something you have never had, you must do something you have never done.

 

What You've Never Done- A Good Southern Girl's GUIDE to a Disastrous Coming Out Party

I have been a hider for most of my life.  "The truth" and "What is in the light of day" have always been things in my life that have gray areas shaded in them.  I’ve tried to blame this problem on my parents, my upbringing, my...

Maybe I'm getting older quicker than I thought because...

When I read a brief write-up on a new website and the author said, "What would grandma say?" in response to it, I thought, "Grandma?!? I'm trippin' out myself about it." It's called WhereDidYouWearIt.com and it basically sounds just like you think it does. It's a "safe sex" initiative that encourages people to "check in" about where...

So...

A wife and mommy herself, one that serves as an amazing supportive advocate for this ministry, sent me an email on yesterday that said this (the subject heading was entitled "unbelievable", by the way):

"I am watching Good Morning America right now and they are heavily promoting a book called 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.  They are saying it is an erotic fantasy and it has been helping...

So here's the deal...

Being that the theme of this month is focusing on sex and the media, I had a few videos that I wanted to show about the exploitation of women. Yet, ironically, while they showed ads that in are everyday non-wrapped-up-in-plastic magazines, I still didn't want to make the super conservative visitors uncomfortable so I decided to go with this one instead. It's entitled, "...

So...

I'm currently doing a little bit of a project on "On Fire" about what married women would do over as a single woman knowing what they know now...um, as a married woman. There are some *really enlightening* bits of information coming forth. For example, this one below is from RPS that I haven't posted onto the blog site yet:

1) Discuss, I mean REALLY discuss religion before you walk down...

There's a website...

That I enjoy checking out, pretty much on a monthly basis. It's called Vigilant Citizen and one of the things that initially drew me to it was it's tag line: "Symbols Rule the World, Not Words Nor Laws". Basically it's a site that devotes its time to seeking out subliminal (and not so subliminal) messages in our culture from government to monuments and especially when it...

OK...

It's a play on words...just a bit...but it does hold some credence. I mean, other than Adam and the Woman in the Garden (Genesis 2:24-25), if you read about nakedness and it's references in the Bible, it's usually speaking of sin or the consequences of sin or some level of humiliation (Genesis 3:7-10; Ezekiel 16; Hosea 2:3, just to name a few). And, when there is a loving reference used in...
