Here are your top 5 fantasies revealed in a recent study by Justin J Lehmiller:
“For women, our biggest sex organ is our brain.” Amy Smalley
We’ve discussed some things on the show today that aren’t usually tackled on a Sunday morning. Maybe some of you are cringing in your seat, too embarrassed or unable to comprehend what you’ve just heard. Maybe you’ve felt ashamed of these desires for so long that you feel you can’t even begin to know how you are supposed to respond. Friends, the shame you feel in desiring your spouse sexually is not a conviction from the Holy Spirit. It is yet another tactic of the Enemy used to keep you from experiencing the incredible intimacy, joy, and unity you can have with your spouse when you explore your sexual relationship.
If you don’t get anything out of today’s show, just know that desiring greater sexual intimacy with your spouse is not a treacherous and shameful thing. It is perfectly natural to think about and imagine experiencing sexual pleasure with your spouse. Fantasizing about your spouse is not some dirty sin you have to keep to yourself. In fact, it actually shows that you care about them, and want to have more pleasure and intimacy in your relationship.
Sex is something God created to establish a unique physical and spiritual bond between a husband and a wife. Do not dishonor God’s creation by thinking that exploring sexual intimacy with your spouse is dirty, sinful, or inappropriate. Remember that you and your spouse should be seeking to serve and honor each other in all things but especially in your sexual relationship. If one party is in any way uncomfortable or hesitant, you must immediately stop and discuss what is happening underneath the surface. Sex is the most intimate and binding act you can commit with another person and as such you should always take special care to ensure you and your spouse are both comfortable and happy with what is going on.
Distraction of the Day:
“A Brief History of the People Paid to Eat Other People's Sins Away” - (https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/qv974q/a-brief-history-of-the-people-paid-to-eat-other-peoples-sins-away)
“This was all well and good for those who died virtuously—but what was a mourner to do when the deceased led a life full of sloth, envy, gluttony, covetousness and pride? Only one option: Call the sin eater.”
“Appearing in England and Wales as far back as the 17th century, sin eaters were a universally reviled but necessary evil. Against the wishes of the church, sin eaters were called in to relieve the deceased of any sins they might be carrying with them into death. Bread placed on the chest of the laid-out body sucked up the sins of the dead, clearing them for passage to heaven. Once the sins had been captured, the sin eater sat on a stool facing the door and ate the bread, taking on the sins as his own, washing them down with a wooden bowl of ale.”
They were often homeless moving from town to town to avoid being executed by the church!
They were social pariahs! Often they were beaten and abused right out of the house! So have fun tomorrow trick or treating and enjoying the candy!
