The real question is ... Who will die first?

A couple from Colorado made a pact to be intimate for 101 days in a row (actually, they said "have sex" for 101 days). Amazingly it was the wife who suggested the little project. That certainly doesn't fit with our cultural norms. The interviews are both enlightening and a bit comical, just because of the subject matter.

I love the idea of 101 days of intimacy. Don't misunderstand, I'm intrigued by the thought of 101 days of sex, but wonder about, ... a lot of things like; just the time it would require each and every day, the creativity to keep it interesting, the stamina required to complete the day's assignment, ... it boggles my mind.

I think 101 days of planned, intentional, mutual, deliberate INTIMACY could transform many stale or even (nearly) dead marriages.

I over heard a conversation between two 50-ish ladies a while back. One remarked that she had heard that a husband that had sex three times a week was predicted to live much longer than a man who did not have sex as often. The two ladies shared a silent thought filled stare for a moment and then the other lady said, " Neh, its just not worth it!"

While the sentiment shared above is obviously true for some, I've got this feeling that if a couple starts this "project" the guy will be ecstatic, ... for about a week, or maybe optimistically a month. At that point my money says the girl will be the only one interested and the guy will be crying for some rest, ... if he's still alive.

PS If you and your wife (or husband) decide to "Just Do It" (the couple's new book title), please do not call me to report.

Locked in my memory

Laredo, Texas. Summer Youth Mission Trip. Hot as blazes. Hard work. Trips to the "colonias" of the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo. Poverty. Hunger. Despair. Brown eyed children. Distributing rice, beans, and water. In the evenings we'd return to our cheap, but clean motel and air conditioning. Each evening the teens would lead the devotional time. On this night on of the boys asked to sing a song, a duet he was working on with my daughter.

That moment is frozen in time.I was blessed.

Hallelujah from the heavens
Hallelujah in the heights above the earth
Hallelujah all His angels
Hallelujah for the last will be first
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Hallelujah in the morning
Hallelujah for the beauty of His scars
Hallelujah in the twilight
Hallelujah sun and moon and shining stars
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

When the night seems so long (throw your hands to the sky)
You can sing a new song (wipe the tears from your eyes)
When you're weak, He is strong
He can heal your wounded soul
And calm the storm inside

For all your times of laughter
In every hopeful prayer
When the world weighs on your shoulders
Through sorrow and your despair
With everything, with every breath, praise the Lord
Let everything, let every breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything, let every breath praise the Lord

When the night seems so long (throw your hands to the sky)
You can sing a new song (wipe the tears from your eyes)
When you're weak, He is strong
He can heal your wounded soul
And calm the storm inside
