Sex has long been a taboo conversation in most churches; but guess who came up with the idea of sex in the first place?

Is it possible that the one who invented sex is actually pro-sex and wants us to have really fulfilling sex lives? Is it possible that what we’re experiencing is only a 2nd rate imitation of what God hoped our sex lives would be? Is it possible we’ve lost the original design and have settled for something less?

Could we keep an open mind and open heart to discover from the one who invented sex what it takes to truly fulfilled sexually? Could we find out what it really means to be sexy?

We hope so! This August we’re bringing sexy back.

Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) — A small South Carolina parts supplier collected about $20.5 million over six years from the Pentagon for fraudulent shipping costs, including $998,798 for sending two 19-cent washers to a Texas base, U.S. officials said.

The company also billed and was paid $455,009 to ship three machine screws costing $1.31 each to Marines in Habbaniyah, Iraq, and $293,451 to ship an 89-cent split washer to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Pentagon records show.

Loyal BON reader George was backpacking in Washington state and sent me this email:

Hey Keith, 

I’ve had some adventure this last week. We went backpacking up in the cascades and we almost lost a guy. He had a pretty severe heart-attack at about 5400 feet in pretty rough terreain. It took a while but we got cell reception up on a ridge and got him air-lifted out. He’s currently recovering in Seattle. I’m exhausted, both physically and emotionally.

And here’s a picture of the rescure helicopter.

I’m trying to imagine the stress and fear that everyone must have been going through during this ordeal.  One moment it’s just a bunch of friends hanging out having fun and backpacking, then all of a sudden everything turns upside down.
