Dear Pastor,
I am in my teens I have something on my mind I want to talk to you about. I do not know if I am making a big deal out of it.
Recently while I was having a bath and examining myself and washing the private part of my body I saw some bumps there. I would like to know how they got there. What I can do about them?
I am sexually active and sometimes after having sex I feel a pain in my lower back. Sometimes it last for about two or three days. Can it be prevented? I need your answer.
D.P., St. Andrew
Dear D.P.,
I must urge you to see a doctor as soon as possible. You should tell him or her exactly what is happening to you. I cannot speculate. You will have to be examined by a medical practitioner. Pastor

Worried about status in church since husband's divorce
Dear Pastor,
I admire the way you answer the questions that are asked of you. May God bless you and inspire you.
I am a married woman and I am still young. My husband and I are not together anymore. He left me and got involved with another woman. Whether he divorced me I am not sure. But he is now married to another person.
I am a Christian and the elders of my church told me that I will have to stay single. I cannot remarry and remain in the church if my husband is alive.
That means even if he divorced me or I divorced him. I say that because I am not sure what is my status at the moment.
I would love to have a man in my life because I have feelings for a man. I do not want to be involved until I am sure that I am free. But I am worried about what to do.
I try my best to support my children. Please give me your advice. I will be very happy to hear what you have to say.
Worried,
Dear Worried,
Whether or not your husband has divorced you, you have good grounds not to become entangled with him again. Try to find out what is your present status. You can go to the Supreme Court and check that out.
You will never be able to convince some people that it is not always wrong for a person to divorce and remarry. I would encourage you; however, to remarry whenever you are sure that you are free and you have found a man who loves you and will care for you.
I know many people are going to write me and quote the Scriptures, but may I take the opportunity to tell them not to bother to waste their time. I know the Scriptures they always throw at me. I believe that they have the wrong interpretation to these Scriptures.
Pastor
