The S Word

So, in celebration of the wonderful dance show "Wha Cha Don't Wanna Tap Into?" that was performed on May 1st (and will possibly be performed again in August, wink wink) I decided to challenge myself by asking; what don't I want to tap into?

That's easy, sex, whether we talk about it or not it is always there; the white elephant in the room, if you will. And it’s a BIG deal; anyone who tells you different is lying, either to you or to themselves.

I was super hesitant about writing this blog, but everywhere I turned this week the subject kept coming up. So many scenarios that made it super clear that the s word is definitely causing friction.

But I think that the problem isn't the word or the act, rather the misuse of both. Sex should be neither a scratching post nor an idealistic fairytale. Both exaggerating and oversimplifying it is dangerous. So, I want to learn to accept it as a gift from a loving God to a husband and wife, respect it as a powerful gift (that like everything can be used for good or bad), and embrace it as a wonderful expression of fidelity and affection. I think that is very important for us to be honest about sex being more than just sexy. I have found from observation that the second we forget that, is usually followed by the second we make the biggest mistakes.

Just think s, for sacred.
