As I read through my Facebook status my heart turned sick. There were numerous posts, both positive and negative, about the book Fifty Shades of Grey and the movie Magic Mike. The cultural buzz surrounding these newest additions to the “mommy porn” genera are generating quite a buzz lately. My initial reaction was to not post anything about it at all. I don’t want to open portals of curiosity on a topic that don’t need opened just because I have an opinion. I had hoped to speak to the issue from the pulpit, which I still plan to do, but after reading Karen Yates article Why Pastors Should Respond to Fifty Shades of Grey I felt compelled to offer my thoughts on this issue now.
