I gave him everything he wanted."

I've seen it. You've seen it. We all have.

If something makes us start feeling very squirmy and uncomfortable, that's a real good sign that we don't need to be watching it. And I pray often that we don't override that feeling, until we no longer notice the nudging of the spirit.

That has to be some healing process, Liz!

Without referring to my Every Woman's Battle book, I'll have to direct this post to a resident woman.

What about it is emotionally stimulating? What's going on in that moment? In what ways could that possibly compare to a man being visually stimulated to the point of desire and lust?

I don't get it either.

But I'm pretty sure this is a "blusher" statement.
