I was tired of failed relationships and I definitely did not want to dishonor God by living a sinful single life. Every relationship I had started with sex and ended with a disconnect. I do not think it is a coincidence. Having sex before marriage did not provide me an opportunity to connect on an emotional level. Therefore, we never became friends. We were sexual partners who happen to live together. When trials came up, we could not overcome them because we had no incentive to work it out other than sex. So, I decided to do something different this time. I decided to become "her" friend first as God would have me to be. I believe that would be pleasing to Him as well as provide encouragement and instruction to others. signed a man trying to live holyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001774672949148741.post-35588209773135575052011-05-05T08:55:55.100-07:002011-05-05T08:55:55.100-07:00Nah...between cooking and cleaning, parenting, wri...Nah...between cooking and cleaning, parenting, writing and reading other's writings, finding money and paying bills, I don't have time to fan the flames of lust! :) As the old saying goes, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."<br /><br />A better option was offered by Paul: Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things (Php 4:8).elderdxchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071222328972267419noreply@blogger.com
