So I got some interesting answers and things to talk about from last night.

Last night a group of us girls from church met for dinner and conversation. While a bit awkward for me, all around it was a good time.

I had given a lift to our Pastor's wife and was dropping her off when the interesting part began. My pastor and his wife are very young, and that is very nice for DH and I.

They are also very progressive thinking (compared to my Grandpa) and are both very knowledgeable.

The main thing I learned last night is that while you can be shown where it agrees or disagrees with something in the bible, the holy spirit must convict you in order for it to be real.

That makes SOOO much more sense to me. The hard part is being open for the holy spirit to move.

Then I came home, and got up this morning to surprise my hubby with a little something something before he had to go to work. But he started talking and quickly convinced me that he didn't deserve such a nice thing, and that I had married a selfish, control freak, asshole husband.

Am I surprised? No.

Sex Sermon Starts Sunday

Oooo...that's almost a tongue twister. I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping it will open communication regarding our sex life. Don't get me wrong, sex is good. But it could be better. More intense.

I'm still waiting to hit my "30's" peak that Liza is always going on about. Maybe it's because she's thin? I don't know. My body isn't craving sex all the time. As a matter of fact my libido is kinda low.

It was higher when I was doing HNT pics. But I've stopped doing them because I'm morally confused.

Sometimes morality is a great big stick in the mud.

The sex sermon

Our church is doing a sermon in February about sex and intimacy in marriage. I have been lucky enough to be asked to be part of an "advisory" panel to let the pastors know what people think of certain aspects of the sermon prior to preaching it.

So we all met Sunday night. It was the head pastor and his wife, the youth pastor and his wife, and about 4 other couples, then myself and DH.

All and all it was a good time. I like to think that everyone shared openly.

There is one gentleman, we shall call him Mr. Smug, or Smugsy. It's a good thing that our worlds don't cross very often. I could see some very heated discussions. He is of the belief that, according to the bible, wives are to submit to their husbands and basically do as they say.

Hmmm...I have major issue with that. Which if I express that it opens up a WHOLE big can of worms regarding my thoughts on the bible.

So, lets hope for now Smugsy and I keep our relationship to a polite hello on Sunday mornings.

Did I mention Smugsy and Mrs. Smugsy are part of the "beautiful people" of the church. Yeah that doesn't help his case with me either.

Man I have a lot to work on. This blog was SUPPOSED to be about the sex sermon. I better log off before I say more.
