Porn and Practice

On Wednesday, some of the kids were joking around about porn. I ignore a lot of the crazy stuff they joke around about but this caused me to stop practice for a moment and tell everyone that "porn is sick but sex with your wife is great!" Now, I don't know if I crossed any lines or was too preachy, but I really wanted to take the chance to show them a right view of sex that will fulfill them, not dehumanize them.

I think my comment embarrassed some guys, though and when they were joking about porn again last night after the game one kid announced, "coach says porn is sick but sex with your wife is great." I then told them that our church was having Porn Sunday because it's important to talk about porn. One kid was grossed out by the idea of a "porno church" and then told me about the pictures I could see on another kids' phone (which I politely declined).

But when a parent drove up a kid announced "coach's church is having porno Sunday." "Oh boy" then went through my mind. But the parent responded by saying, "I know, we got the mailer."

I'm convinced that we are following God by having Porn Sunday this weekend.
