That is why Augustine is a Saint and Origen ain't. (well among other things but that is a BIG ONE). Don’t ask me about Origen though.

Teeny-tiny like the state of Texas." Yeah, I was grinning from ear to ear as I read the first sentence. But the Texas reference, that was good. Nice work.

Like it is some kind of natural consequence or something." So that's why that keeps happening! I was wondering why all these small people kept coming to live with me. “Because, you may have noticed, the first often leads to the second.

I like the analogy to giving up chocolate. It is understandable far more than most explanations. Very nice! I like the analogy to giving up chocolate.

I was a teenager at the time and his encouragement flabbergasted me. But I'm so glad he was bold enough to proclaim the greatness of the marital union! For those new to this concept, I highly recommend everything that Christopher West has written about Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body. If you prefer listening to reading, his "Naked without Shame" CD set (less than $5) from The Gift Foundation is fabulous. Oh, and I am currently reading Dr. Gregory Popcak's new "Holy Sex!: A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling, Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving". So far, it's a great practical application of Theology of the Body (he gets very specific in faithfully answering all the questions you might have about sex).
