Chastity Office 316
What if you woke up one morning on a different planet?
What if you woke up to a world where one out of four men cheat on their wives and 92% of men masturbate.
What if you woke up to a world where young women were being held hostage with narcotics, to perform sexual acts on pornographic video, controlled by small-time organized crime, known for their use of extortion, physical beatings and murder?
What if you woke up to a world, where in your country, 33,000 women and children were being sold as sex slaves for a profit each year?
If that were real and true (as it currently is in the US) I might think or begin to believe that, just maybe, the way we were utilizing sex might be a little off kilter?
Maybe it’s time to rethink what sex is used for.
Here is a quote from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous:
“But, the program of action, though entirely sensible, was pretty drastic.
It meant I would have to throw several lifelong conceptions out of the window. That was not easy. But, the moment I made up my mind to go through with the process I had the curious feeling that my sexually obsessive condition was relieved, as in fact it proved to be.”
What am I doing that is wrong sexually?

I’ve always loved to dance, but I have never had any desire whatsoever to express myself through dance.
The longing I have in my body for love, intimacy, closeness and sex have been amply met, for me, by dance today.
It’s been a splendid day. I danced three times. While I ran 5 miles yesterday, it’s surprising how six minutes of dancing is currently fatiguing. That will change.
I am learning a new language. As I watch my body it appears as though the two primary things I am expressing are worshipping the God of my understanding and “Trudging the road of happy destiny”.
Thank you God for the many gifts of Chastity…

I am grateful for Sobriety, abstinence and chastity.
But sometimes, I feel so hurt that I want to wretch

“Do not give what is holy to dogs, do not give pearls to swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces”.
Matt 7:6
I was in another fellowship sharing about my wife and I’s Chastity.
A woman interpreted this as me “coming onto her”.
It’s funny, this fellowship was specifically about not being a pig, around food.
I don’t want to think badly of people, but I don’t want to be torn to pieces either.
I have been very open around my chastity to anyone, as it has been such a gift to me.
Lesson learned…
God,
Help me to recognize dogs and swine…when I see them.
Amen
