Egads - S-E-X!
I can still sing the entire DC Talk hit, "I Don't Want It". I may have even been humming it yesterday in the mailroom as I was going about my daily work. I can even do the rapping part and credit this to numerous hours listening to that CD. It was one of my favourites and even this morning, I was tempted to put it in my car and groove along to the old memories that lie within those melodies.
I wish that having the "sex" talk was as easy as slipping in a CD and pushing repeat! Last night, I had to teach on this subject with 10, grade 7 and 8 girls. EGADS. It went relatively well but since my 1 co-leader was slightly shy about the whole deal, guess who got to answer the awkward questions?!? Yuppers, yours truly! Leave it to me to push past those embarrasing moments. I even refrained from hand gestures! My other co-leader was not afraid of the topic either so I think we did a decent job. Don't worry, I won't get into the questions they asked, but lets just say that I was stumped on how to answer a few of them. The good thing about this curriculum is that it covers all the topics including dating, boundries, sex, grace and all that jazz without dweling on just the physical part. Good stuff and it lead to some amazing conversations. It is scary to think that these girls know more about sex than I did at their age but they are more exposed. Some even know girls their age who are pregnant or who have had to deal with some of the side effects of promiscuity. Scary stuff, especially when you are 12.
[Ah yeah, Red Leader, I don't think I copy that
Uh, did you say you don't want sex for now?
I'm confused, could you clarify? Over.
Yo, s-e-x is a test when I'm pressed
So back off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
But then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
Don't give it up 'til you tie the knot]
**Just to bring back the memories! I dare you not not hum it all afternoon!**

I think if they show that video to any girls, they won't have to worry about having sex with them. YIKES!
'Egads' isn't used enough today! Good job
