What’s that up on the church roof? A pastor (and his wife) in bed …
Ed Young Jr., a Dallas-area pastor and his wife Lisa are trying to raise awareness about the intimacy of the marriage bed. 
To do that, Young (pictured) and his spouse are staging a 24-hour “bed-in” on the roof of his Grapevine, Texas, church, Fellowship Church, right now.
People can tune-in for Young’s commentary and to see the bed-in, which started at 6 a.m. today at “Bed-in.”
Young said the event is a tie-in to a new book written by him and his wife “Sexperiment: 7 Days to Lasting Intimacy With Your Spouse.” Actually, the bed-in is being streamed live on a website about the new book. “Sexperiment” was released on Tuesday.
I often watch Young’s TV show and enjoy his preaching on a variety of topics. He’s not afraid to tackle some heavy-hitting topics so I”m not surprised at his latest adventure.
I once saw him preach a sermon series about sex with a bed on the stage area of the church. He’s upped the ante with the bed on the roof, for sure.
For a story about the bed-in, read on: “Pastor-wife to spend 24 hours in bed on church roof to teach sex lessons”
Incidentally, according to the Christian Post’s story on the bed-in, Craig Groeschel, pastor of Edmond-based LifeChurch.tv, and his wife Amy, are among pastors who have endorsed the Youngs’ new book.

Nothing tiny about this Tim …
Denver Bronchos quarterback is back in the headlines again (really, did he ever leave them?) and I’m not surprised.
People laughed when he said God told him he would be starting quarterback, but here he is, the Bronchos starting quarterback and I’d say he’s been pretty successful (Those who don’t agree might want to catch the highlights of Sunday’s game between the Bronchos and the Pittsburgh Steelers …and then get back with me … ) 
The thing about him is he seems to have big faith … nothing tiny about this Tim.
Big faith and he’s not afraid to show it.
Here’s more from others who have an opinion about Tebow, football and faith …
