I am posting a two-part post today. I decided to break it down into two parts since it’s kind of long and also to give you some background of the reason I am posting part two, because it’s pretty heavy. I probably won’t post for a few days just to give people the chance to read it. I know it’s long, but I feel as if it’s something we keep in the dark far too often.

Quick Intro: I wasn’t going to write about this today, but after a series of events, I felt like I had to. I’m going to warn you ahead of time that this (really, part two) is a pretty adult topic that I am going to be tackling from a woman’s point of view. You have been warned.

So now it’s time to act on this. Bringing things to the light. My friend’s question about women and porn addiction really hit me. I mean, here is this really intelligent guy who has experienced a lot in his life and he’s never heard of a woman struggling with a pornography addiction. I know from experience that it’s because women don’t like talking about it. So here goes.

A few months ago (June 29th) my spirit was struggling some with how local churches spend money. Today I read (and re-read, and re-read) Alex’s post on “A Reversal of Kingdom Capital” and over the last week, some of my emails with James have also discussed the struggle between supporting valid needs of local churches and using money in more practical ways by helping people meet their everyday needs financially.
