That title is from one of my favoritest movies, and is in response to the uproar in the news about a preacher in the area challenging his congregants to have sex with their spouses for 7 days in a row. As a single person, I'd be a little annoyed if that's what my preacher said from the pulpit. Does the church have stuff to say about it, yes. From the pulpit? I dunno...
I had different plans for this weekend, you know.
Tonight, I have a ticket to hear Donald Miller speak. But I missed it, because my friend's birthday celebration was tonight. I'm even having to miss part of that due to the fact that my brain is trying to leak out of my right nostril, and when I blow my nose the room starts spinning.
Tomorrow, I have a ticket to hear Francis Chan speak, as well as Matt Chandler. But at the rate my brain is leaking out of my nostrils, I'm probably going to miss those as well.
I'm up way past my bedtime, but when I lay down I can't breathe, and breathing seems to be a necessity for my life, so here I am. It's going to be a long weekend, and not in a good way.
And I wish you could see Daisy sitting all melancholy-like at the patio door, alternatingly whining and grumbling because I won't let her out. Because she's been out 47 million times. Tonight.
I definitely think pastors need to talk about sex from the pulpit (particularly since our culture has so much to say about the topic), but this pastor's challenge sort of sounds like a media stunt and if nothing else, I have to wonder how he's tying these sermons into scripture and making them relevant to singles.
