It would be an understatement to say that today's text and devotion is counter cultural. To suggest that any prohibition to sexual behavior other than consenting adults, is an affront to many people. Yet if we understand that our bodies belong to God, that there is no dichotomy between the physical and the spiritual which he says in this devotion, then we understand that God is concerned about everything, including our attitudes and behaviors concerning sex.
I wasn't expecting the connection he made between breath and sex, but I thought it was a creative way of seeing the relationship. I particularly liked the paragraph on the top of page 26 that begins with, "Here, too, is where breathing and a healthy sexuality come together: both are disciplines to develop." I'm not sure that most of us think of either of these as "disciplines to develop," and yet I liked the way that he compared them. What do you think of his comparison, his argument?
