One of the top posts’ from 2011 was this get level honest post from my buddy Keath Storm!

The Boys And Mom’s Lingerie

Today’s post is from Keath Storm.  There are not really any words to describe the depth of Keath and I’s relationship.   We have been friends for years and have walked through the best of times and the absolute worst of times together.   My favorite story is when we were out of College,  he was talking to (considering dating) a girl named Jodie and I was talking to (considering dating) a girl named Angie.  Long story short…a year later he married Angie and I married Jodie.  The old switcharoo!  Keath brings the heat in today’s post, something most parents don’t want to admit or talk about.  And thanks to his son for giving permission for Keathly to tell the story!  Keath, your an incredible friend and one of the most God honoring Fathers I know!

Here’s….Keathly!

My wife and I came home one Saturday evening and found a piece of her lingerie laying in the bathroom floor.  Hmm.  How did that get there?

My middle son is 15 years old and he has an inner circle of friends that we do a men’s fraternity group with every Wednesday night after church.  How could it possibly have been that group of boys that are so committed to living a perfect, sinless life?  After all, you should hear the way that I describe him and his friends to all my friends and family.  You would think he was Jesus and his friends were the disciples.  Is that really about him or me?  (We can cover that in another post)

Well….it was my son and his friends.  Are they sick and twisted sexual perverts or just 15 year old boys that have a natural, God given change going on in their bodies that create curiosity?  I think it is clearly the latter and I have been served up a great big fastball that could either be knocked out of the park for Kingdom growth or fouled off and used to drive them into the Enemy’s camp regarding this beautiful gift of sexuality that God gave his children.

Thank God I chose to respond instead of react!  When we came together for our Wednesday night meeting, I started off with prayer and then my first question of the night was…What did you guys think of my wife’s lingerie?  It was awesome!  All of their eyes were about the size of the moon and their mouths dropped wide open.  Talk about shock!

It was my next sentence that set the stage for knocking it out of the park for the Kingdom.  I was not going to let the Enemy win this game.  “Guys, I can’t wait until each of you find your God-given soul mate, get married, and experience the joy of seeing your wife in lingerie!”  It was still a little tense, so I had to break the ice….”You just better not be picturing my wife in that lingerie”.  My son said, “Oh no Dad, don’t go there!” and his friends just laughed.

It was now time for the power punch.  Guys – the sexual relationship between a husband and wife is one of the most awesome, amazing and sacred gifts God gave to his children.  Don’t do anything to damage your heart before you present it to your wife on your wedding day.  The Enemy will do anything he can to twist and damage your God-given sexuality.  Be alert and don’t let him win!
