Honey, Have I Got A Christmas Present For You!
A dear friend passed on an article in the New York Times where a pastor challenged the husbands and wives in his congregation to a Seven Day Sex Challenge. I say, “Yeah pastor, way to go!” God created sex, why not talk about it in church.
Some comments in the New York Times are rather cynical about the purpose of this instruction. I did not hear the sermon, so I would give Pastor Ed Young the benefit of the doubt that his purpose was to help couples realize that too much gets in the way of their love lives. It’s time to reclaim what they may have lost by growing closer to each other and God in the process. When intimacy is good in marriage, all seems well with the world. Maybe that’s the hope we need for this coming year.
I think I’ll wrap myself up for my husband to find me under the Christmas tree (after family leaves), and not answer the phone between Christmas and New Years Day.

Dear Sheri,
Wonderful idea about the tree. If you get a chance, you might want to watch both sermon videos. I found them to be excellent as far as the scriptural references and the general principles he presented. The second week, he and his wife were both on stage, conversing back and forth very authentically. They also had a great sense of humor.
One thing they hugely emphasized was forgiveness.
