I bet that title caught your eye!
As we were listening last night to Bro. Matt read 1 Thessalonians 4:1-10 Mary Margaret is reading ahead. We have the New King James Version, so in verse 4, where NIV says sexual immorality, our Bible says Fornication. Taylor is sitting on one side and MM on the other. The only thing Taylor is worried about is when is the service going to be over, because she is hungry....MM wants to know what fornication is. She whispers (by the way, she learned to whisper in a saw mill)
"What is fornication?"
"What did you say?"
"What is fornication?"
"Another word for sex"
Eyes bugged out..."Really?"
"Yes, listen to Bro. Matt."
At this point he had finished reading and was explaining very well that we should honor our bodies, abstain from sex, etc...
MM had tried to get her boyfriend to go to the night service with us last night, his mother would not let him. I think it would have been the perfect sermon for them both to hear!
MM was real quite and thoughtful.
This little old lady sitting in front of us, when we got ready to leave, wanted to know how I answered the fornication question...see, I told you that Mary Margaret was a really GOOD WHISPERER.
1 Thessalonians 4: 3-4
4:3 For this is God’s will: that you become holy,4 that you keep away from sexual immorality, 4:4 that each of you know how to possess his own body5 in holiness and honor,

See you found my counter. That was the other one I thought about using.
Well, they gotta know sometime? I'm all for being very open about it all. I learned absolutely NOTHING from my mom. and I fall under the category of 'will drive my kid to the clinic to get condoms and/or birth control if needed.' Soo much rather safe sex than 'lie to mom about it and do it anyway'...
I can't believe that will encourage them?? I can believe it will help them think first!
I agree with you Good N Crazy...the harder you try to make them "not have sex" the more they want to have it. I also believe in the better to have safe sex than not....
she was talking about that at school and siad that it would be a good thing for them to listen to
