"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
That was this morning's message and sermon at church. Brother Larry is such an incredible pastor and has been preaching on family topics for the past few weeks. This morning made us think about the way to affair-proof our marriage. He really put it into perspective and made everybody think, and probably made a few people a little bit on the uncomfortable side. Affairs are damaging to a marriage and it is IMPOSSIBLE to recover from infidelity, no matter how much the couple tries. Every Sunday we come away from the sermon with the most amazing feeling of relief knowing that God is talking us in some form. (I just wish we knew what he is saying to us.)
We were reading the bulletin this morning and saw that Brother Terry is starting a new 8-week series on the Fireproof movie and the book "The Love Dare." Christi just bought "The Love Dare" and we read the first chapter last night, so it's comforting knowing that we'll be able to go through the next 8 weeks studying the book and getting some extra insight in our study of the book...
...We just got back from our first lesson on "The Love Dare." After looking back on today, I see that I have failed miserably on my first dare, but fortunately for me, I can start all over tomorrow. The dare was to be slow to anger and say nothing negative to/about your spouse. It's very frustrating dealing with kids that defy you and still have enough perseverance to go through the day without saying anything negative. With all the stressors that we have on ourselves nowadays (kids, house to sell, moving, etc.) I know that the 40 dares will be challenging to complete, but not impossible. We're both looking forward to next week's lesson and I made Christi promise that she would come back early from her reunion with all of her girlfriends from high school. I just hope we can complete the series before moving.
We are so ready to move out of this area and into a new place with a new start. I think the one thing that we will miss the most is our church with which we have become VERY comfortable. I know finding a comparable one will be possible, will take some shopping around and some heavy duty praying.
