Tampa in the News: always good for an uncomfortable laugh
I like it when Tampa makes the news. It gives me more to write about, more to ponder, and more to wonder when I will have enough cash saved up to move to somewhere just a little more rural in our fair state of Florida.
I suppose it bothers me that this last reason our area is in the headlines is because of a sex challenge set forth by a local preacher and his wife. The Relevant Church in Ybor City has a 30-day sex challenge. It is their answer to the high divorce rates. They ask all married coup0les to have sex daily.
The challenge also involves the singles in the church, though in their case they are challenged to abstain for 30 days. Is it just me, or does it seem very sad that churches these days have to challenge single Christians to not have sex? That’s one of those pretty cut and dry tenants that too many people tend to overlook in their own lives.
Well, I guess this is something funny to be in the news about. Lately, being in the news has been a bad (and unfortuantely violent) thing.
