I've read through all three parts. Loved the italicized self-talk portions and your humor throughout.

While I'm not looking for earthly permission or anything, and I'll certainly talk to Jesus about it as well, I am curious--based on these pieces what your position is on pre-marital/within dating contexts? As a single dad, I don't need much discouragement from having wanton lust-based sex with whoever whenever, but it has troubled me conceptually in attempting to return to dating.

Our understanding of scripture seems impaired through cultural shifts that largely remain unaddressed in churches. I just learned "moicheia" (at least in Athenian terms) would've encompassed any seduction of a free woman, but not married men having sex with slaves or prostitutes... it's all a bit boggling
