Emergent Women talk about Sex God
My Life Group (represent...what, what) is reading Sex God by Rob Bell and I ran across a discussion of the book on the emergent women blog. (Don't ask me how I got there...I have a sensitive side) Read it here. They bring up some good commentary on what we've been discussing. Last night we covered the topic of lust in his chapter, "Leather, whips, and fruit." (Gotta love the chapter names!) Look for my book coming out in the Spring with the opening chapter...Beans, toots and magical fruits. You know you can't wait.

the chicks in that forum bring up a lot of good points and offer interesting perspectives in sharing their personal stories.
one interesting point that they brought up (and our group didn't) was mentioning the sex life of people who aren't married yet they don't act in "animal" like ways. i agree with some of them when they mention people who are horribly in love and together for years yet not married but still have a great sex life. it's not as destructive as those who go from one sexual relationship to another to another. i think we tend to think about extremes more often than the middle ground.
i think one thing i was a tad frustrated with in the book was that (in chapter 4) his answer for fixing our problem with lust is by asking ourselves a gazillion questions. the first three questions he listed already blew my mind when i was applying them to my own life.
it's hard to slow your brain down and actually spend a good amount of time thinking and processing all your actions. our society (at least in big cities) is so fast-paced and though many of the things we might be involved with are good and positive it's still hard on the mind, body and spirit.
that said, i also know that God is not all about "quick fixes" and the learning is in the process. but still...didn't make me feel much better that my issues are something i'll be working on for a long time.
stupid sin.
