There Is Nothing Casual About Giving Away Your Soul

I read this article (posted on facebook by a friend) and though it's kind of long and I didn't really connect with the whole thing, I really liked this part.  I wonder if everyone feels this connection, and they push it away or hide it, or if some are more prone to feeling this connection.  Either way, it's a pretty sweet sentiment even if you don't agree wholeheartedly.  

It's stems from a letter from a mother to a son about waiting to be intimate with someone.

"...your father is a very caring man who knows that the soul of a woman needs to feel a deep safeness before you ever touch the skin of a woman.

And I guess that is exactly the point that nobody really told us:

Your skin is the outer layer of your soul.

Your skin and your soul are one in ways that Hollywood and MTV and the mall won’t ever tell you.

Your skin and your soul are profoundly connected and this is a profoundly beautiful thing. There is no shame in this — only the glory of God who made your body art to reflect your soul.

So contrary to what hook-up culture may be touting in the back halls of high schools and behind the closed doors of university dorm rooms — there’s nothing casual about giving away your soul.

The union of two bodies is nothing less than the union of two souls."
