> Beth, I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, but I think your pastor is right.  I know all the practical stuff, I understand.  There's a part of me that wants to say, hey, Blake should be able to stay with you.  But a bigger part of me says, no.  How long is he going to be in Denver? Would it work for him to spend the night at a church member's home? You see, I know how these things work.  Nobody ever "intends" to have sex.  But it's very difficult when two people are together in close proximity for it not to happen.  And Scripture and other spiritual writers talk about "the occasion of sin".  In other words, you need to not put yourself into situations where temptation can lead to sin.  Your pastor is being just that, your pastor.  He is a wise man.  Why not ask him if he has any suggestions as to what you could do so that you could enjoy Blake's visit without putting yourself in to a position where you might give into temptation?

People will speculate and think that you had sex whether you did or not.  This is really not a blindness issue other than you need to make different arrangements.  And be thankful that you have a pastor who is looking out for your best interests.    Blessings,    Debby and Neena
