THE DOCTOR’S
Recently I discovered a new favorite TV show; The Doctor’s. Of course it is entertaining but it also had some good sound information/advice regarding many questions most people have on moles, warts, vaccinations different surgeries and many other chronic conditions that you can take care of at home. The Doctor’s are very personable and seem to have a good ra por’ with one another. Needless to say, I was enjoying my new favorite.

Yesterday, I was checking to see what the topic for their time slot would be and the whole show fell down the slippery slope of disappointment. The topic for the day was sex! Not just the purpose of this activity but how to and what enhancements are best to use for both men and women. In our world today, anything is fair game in books, movies and on TV.

Oh yes, we are given a certified rating so that we will be circumspect in our choices if children will be watching. I personally classify myself as one of the children. We have a new cliche’, new because it parallels the advent of TV and computers. "Garbage in, garbage out!"

Early movies would depict a married couple sleeping in twin beds. Never under the same sheets! Kisses were more casual and not the passionate ones you now witness! Somewhere in the 50's more and more was not left up to your own imagination but instead became something of an embarrassment, especially if you were sitting next to the opposite sex.

TV commercials and advertisements in magazines and newspapers have taken being discreet, out of the picture and have become blatant in the exposure of their products. So much so that we are bombarded with birth control/prevention methods along with pills, ointments and salves for arousal and enhancement sprays for men and women. Not to mention the advertisement of under garments and the use of sexual innuendos in every other product on the earth, that have nothing to do with the sexual nature of man. Our TV’s, movies, books and the computer have inundated our humanity with sexual overtures and we continue to allow it by watching what is on our electronic devices and wonder; "What has our world come to"!

I am not comfortable with what is happening, nor am I comfortable watching it at the theater nor on my TV. We either mute the commercial or scene or we turn the station on the TV. It is a rarity if we stay longer than 10 to 15 minutes at the movie theater. Movies are not cheap but knowing that Jim is more than willing to walk out with me makes it all worth the cost of the popcorn.

We were standing in line for a movie, wondering what we were going to see and the lady behind us recommended; "The Cider House Rules". She knew we would just love it! Okay! We hated it! I have often wondered why this woman thought we would just love it! Was it because we are old or because it had abortions, illicit sex and took you down an imaginary road where you, the Christian, wouldn’t travel in real life? Jim did get his popcorn and shortly after, we left!

I am not a prude but I am a Christian! I am not a perfect example of Christianity but I have put my trust in the Lord and am persuaded that the Holy Spirit will help me through it all.
In 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 Paul says that we are not to associate with immoral men; true believers are to have no fellowship with the wicked works of darkness. He is not talking about the world because the world is already judged by God but he is talking about the church, for we are to judge one another. Watch where you walk! Watch what you think! Watch what you do!

"If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; It is better to lose one of your members than your whole body be thrown into hell." Matthew 5:29-30 Jane Ann
