He stilled for a moment, savoring the sensation of being buried deep inside her, of filling her, of being joined together in God’s heavenly embrace. He held her gaze and pushed deeper, shuddering with a wave of pure tenderness. The look in her eyes stripped him to the core. He couldn’t move, wanting to preserve the moment, wanting never to forget how it felt to experience perfection. ↗

Dreams are associated with a state called REM sleep, the abbreviation standing for rapid eye movement. The REM state is strongly correlated with sexual arousal. Experiments have been performed in which sleeping subjects are awakened whenever REM state emerges, while members of a control group are awakened just as often each night but not when they're dreaming. After some days, the control group is a little groggy, but the experimental group - the ones who are prevented from dreaming - is hallucinating in daytime. It's not that a few people with a particular abnormality can be made to hallucinate in this way; anyone is capable of hallucinations. ↗

Often people that say they “don’t care” actually do. The moment they call your house, send you an email, talk to your family or discuss you with their friends and family is when they give themselves away. You can either be saddened or flattered that you effected someone so much. The perspective is yours to determine. ↗

The word I think of is precarious. I am struck by how precarious it all is. How the things that hold us are only as strong as the faith we have in them. ↗

I’d encourage Ann to cling to God’s character in spite of what her circumstances screamed. ↗

As I speak for many in the budding new missional church world I have to share that I no longer judge the faithful fervent work of so many pastors who have pastored well but who struggle to find their place in this new world. They deserve to be honored instead of belittled. Without their legacy we would have nothing to build upon. ↗

It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave. ↗
