Fostering
This group is for those who are foster parents, who grew up in a foster home, and those who are curious about what foster care is all about.
Adam Kacius replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion Kids and Computers in the group Geeks"We have an old PC with an XP and an Ubuntu partition. I got the Edubuntu package for my girlfriend's kids, ages 5 and 7, and they love to play with GCompris and TuxMath. Lately, they also love to play barbie and hot wheels games on the…"
Jamie Q replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Yeah, but I must have skimmed over that first paragraph. I got the the gist of the article, though, and I agreed with it."
Jordan Davis replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"http://fm.thevillagechurch.net/sermons?kw=men&type=sermons&match=any
Check out the link above. The sermons are dated 8.12.07 to 8.26.07 entitled "Defining Masculinity," "Men as Husbands," and "Men as Fathers."…"
Christopher Dart replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Yeah, I like Matt Chandler. (Reminds me I want to hear his Ecclesiastes series that a friend recommended to me) Do you remember the specific name of the series?"
Jordan Davis replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"I'd recommend listening to some Matt Chandler sermons for some great exposition on the topic. There is a series about masculinity that defines it specifically in Biblical terms rather than by secular minds (as in the case of this website). I…"
Christopher Dart replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Did you read the article, Jamie? The author isn't saying that at all, and he clears that up in the first paragraph or so.
Thanks for the article, Mike, really well put and I totally agree w/the guy"
Rawb replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Christopher West's writings on Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body is a great tool in discussing sexuality. It makes the late pope's teachings much more readable. I started with "Introduction to the Theology of the…"
Cephas replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Mike I hope you enjoy it! I was going to mention Theology of the Body but it seems you have a good grasp of it. I agree that there is a lot more than 'sex is for marriage' however, I think you have to start with basics when the person does…"
Rick replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Correction:
The experience that child grows in will determine the way that child see things, visual and mentally and the way that child sees leads to the rest."
Rick replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"That's why I suggested the notion of, how children are taught to see...the fleshly body of man and woman, first with their eye's later they will will see with their minds. And we pray it's with Godly minds.
As I was suggesting, Not…"
Mike Hostetler replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"Ironically our adult Sunday school class is going through John Paul II's "Man and Woman He Created Them". John Paul's thoughts on the connection between human sexuality and human spirituality is way beyond what people think about…"
Mike Hostetler replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"The post has a provocative titles, but neither him nor I advocate sex outside of marriage.
What he is saying is that we should talk about sex before and, yes, even after marriage. The simple blanket statement that "sex is for marriage"…"
Jamie Q replied to Mike Hostetler's discussion A New Way To Think About Sex in the group Christian Men"I'm guessing that neither you nor the author are advocating sex outside of marriage, right? You're just suggesting that there's a lot more to it than "Sex is for married people."
There's nothing wrong with saying that…"

Steve M said… - Mike, your last name is very unique. My ex-nephew was Eric Hostetler. He was in the Air Force and married my niece in San Angelo, TX. I wonder if we are related. His next post was in Hawaii. My niece never gave him a change. Fine gentleman, but he was too involved with his intendo when they went to Hawaii and didn't spend time with her.
