"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Book

GOD usually tends to speak to me in a number of different ways. And I love when HE uses books. However, it has been pretty obvious to me that HE has been leading me to read a particular book at this time.

There is a book called, "SEX GOD" by Rob Bell. It has come across my path in some way, five times in the past week or so. Bible Study, yesterday, being the last time. I went to the bookstore tonight to buy it. Check out the title of the chapters.

Introduction: This Is Really About That
Chapter One: God Wears Lipstick
Chapter Two: Sexy on the Inside
Chapter Three: Angels and Animals
Chapter Four: Leather, Whips, and Fruit
Chapter Five: She Ran into the Girls' Bathroom
Chapter Six: Worth Dying For
Chapter Seven: Under the Chuppah
Chapter Eight: Johnny and June
Chapter Nine: Whoopee Forever
Epilogue: More Balloons, Please

You may wonder why I feel like sharing this with you all? I am just wondering what it is GOD wants to share with me at the moment, or what HE is trying to speak to me about. It is just going to be real interesting as I read and things unfold. I REALLY know that it was HIM leading me to this. I think this book may become a source for some journals in the next week or so, but then again, maybe not.

Tonight I just read the introduction. I was pulled in a paragraph towards the end that started with: And she's single and fine with it but still has....

However, the part I REALLY want to share here that was at the end says:

Something deeper. Something behind it all. You can't talk about sexuality without talking about how we were made. And that will inevitably lead you to who made us. At some point you have to talk about God.

Sex. God. They're connected. And they can't be separated. Where the one is, you will always find the other. This is a book about how sexuality is the "this" and spirituality is the "that". To make sense of the one, we have to explore the other.

And that is what this book is about.
