We were babes then, but we have grown together all these 30 years.<br /><br />Perhaps I should change my stance???Denise Miller Holmeshttp://www.redhotread.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-67844278626297688432009-08-06T22:25:51.221-06:002009-08-06T22:25:51.221-06:00I think that article must have gone the rounds of ...I think that article must have gone the rounds of FB and blogs, b/c I also read it a couple days ago and lots of people I know have been commenting on it. It was a good article and I have, as a single woman, noticed for a long time the lack of decent young men. Even the "courtship" movement which says it is the best way to get married has a lot of problems with people staying single. I am really grateful that I am getting to know a Godly young guy who likes me and especially grateful because it's so hard to find even a Godly guy, much less one who likes me in return.LCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-28988009755422280442009-08-06T12:22:27.867-06:002009-08-06T12:22:27.867-06:00Lisa, I also thought it was interesting about youn...Lisa, I also thought it was interesting about young men. It makes me understand more why I know so many young unmarried, but wonderful Christian women.<br /><br />I really thought the point about our bodies being made for sexual activity was a good one as well... you add the fact that we're hardwired for sex to a society that is increasingly sexual (which he didn't touch on, but it's there). It's no wonder that we preach abstinence and wonder why the message isn't getting through.Danica Favoritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922540628183027043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-17108469774740979512009-08-04T22:31:28.026-06:002009-08-04T22:31:28.026-06:00Great post, Danica!

I thought it was also interesting how he pointed out that, overall, in evangelical churches there are three spiritually strong women for ever two spiritually strong men. His views of the way our young men are clinging to their childhood much too long was really insightful. And we wonder about the lack of leadership.<br /><br />And the thoughts about how God made our bodies to procreate and be sexually active far younger than the median marriage age these days is very telling as to why even Christian younger adults have no better record on pre-marital sex than do those who don't profess faith.lisahttp://www.lisasamson.comnoreply@blogger.com
