the "s" word

say this word in certain company and eyebrows go up. it's not what you think. the word? "sensual". granted, it, like many words, can be used in different contexts. but the way i intend it is to simply mean "sensory" (perhaps that would be a better choice). at any rate, i found it interesting that people are uncomfortable at times with enjoying their 5 senses. as with everything that can be taken to extremes i'm not talking about unhealthy levels of indulgence in any one sense. i just think that "sensual Christian" may not have to be an oxymoron if, as scripture says, God put everything here for our enjoyment. being able to turn it into an act of worship can mean everything from literal time to stop and smell the roses...or taste our food...or feel the wind on our skin...or really listen to the birds in the morning...or see the colors in the changing leaves. a great movie to watch on this subject is "babette's feast". how have your 5 senses impacted the way you experience the world? God? Others?
