You honor me...big time! I love you ...Dan....!!!! You honor me...big time! I love you loads!!!!! We had such fun! And I talked too much...but you asked me too many questions!!! lol. You are right, when you left I thought...dammit, when am I going to see Dan again! I'll blog on our lunch myself...but that weekend is a must! I can't wait to see you...though you are coming to Heidi Sunday!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!!!! You are right, it feels like we have known eachother for ages...same spirit. It was great to be with someone who GETS IT!!!!! Wooohooo!!!! I have missed that! <br /><br />You know, I want to say something, I'm not scared of the counterfeit. Rob got it in one. He put it better than I could. The enemy wants to wrap us so much up in fear that we don't recognise what God gives us. I know my Jesus.<br /><br />We can achieve intimacy with God that is more intense than any human connection could ever be, yet you are right, it is fun, we do like it. Its a foretaste.cookingf or onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832061230897963101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-22829035780128292732009-05-10T12:29:00.000+01:002009-05-10T12:29:00.000+01:00PS: I did mean to take pictures I promise ... but ...PS: I did mean to take pictures I promise ... but I got too distracted and carried away by Ursy's visions of heaven!!

I couldn't agree more - I just don't think I was bold enough as you to right it!<br /><br />If sex is that great, then how mean would God be to not allow some people to experience it by His sovereign design.<br /><br />And it is pretty great - sorry but even sinful sex outside of marriage is pretty awesome - otherwise why would so many people do it!? The message we should be taking to them is that you can have better sex inside marriage!<br /><br />But that's another topic ...<br /><br />One of the reasons why Mark Driscoll offended me so much with his stupid comments about our relationship with God is that I DO think sex is a shadow and a picture of the intimate love and relationship we can have with Jesus!<br /><br />And that's not something smutty to giggle about. It's beautiful. It's wonderful! And it's why I can't wait to get to heaven!Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-18544708251856584082009-05-10T01:16:00.000+01:002009-05-10T01:16:00.000+01:00What no pictures??? :( Aah well, I am VERY happy y...What no pictures??? :( Aah well, I am VERY happy you two got to meet and spend time together!

Don't know if that is controversial but I've toned down my thoughts a bit hehe. I don't get the hang ups with intimate love seeing as God is the one who came up with all forms of it...but for some reason Christians in particular seem to be uncomfortable with it. <br /><br />Glad you had a great time with Urs!!! May there be many many more of those good times together for all of us!julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.com
