I took this post off of Chris Hodges' blog. He is the pastor at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL. He is getting ready to start a series called "Sexual Revolution", and this is what he posted. It's disturbing...we all know about it, but what are we doing about it. It starts at home people!
It’s Worse Than I Thought

It’s Friday and I’m at home finishing up the opening message in the new “Sexual Revolution” series. I’ll have to tell you, I knew this was a critical issue that affects everyone, but it’s worse than I thought.
Just read this…

Starting Over...
Ok, so I put way too much pressure on myself with my last blog, and ended up deleting the whole thing. I've come to realize that I'll never blog like Carole , but that's ok because I'm not Carole. But I do love her and her blog.
On a differnet note. I got to hold 5 week old baby Seth Doucet through the entire church service last night. What a cutie! I told Rich not to get any ideas! I love Seth and he's very cute, but he does not make me get the FEVER! We were finally able to give him the gift we've been having for him. What baby boy is complete without an LSU outfit and LSU football? We sure do love that family. Eric & Fannie have been a blessing into our lives.

Taryn will be home Sunday afternoon. We miss her like crazy, but I know she is having a ball in Alabama.
