Kiss and Tell? BYU's Brandon Davies and Danica Mendivil

Oh such a sad day for two young lovers! 

Crucified on tv, radio, blog pages and facebook for making love….

What is the real story here?

The real story is that two young kids, together for 3 years, love and care for each other...and as what happens with most young love....one evening turned into night and they snuggled and probably fell asleep in each other’s arms after a sweet night of lovemaking.

But the underlying story is that Mr. Davies had the misfortune to play basketball for BYU, a school that has a code prohibiting such activity, and the breaking of that code caused him to tearfully confess his ‘sin’ in the locker room to his teammates and then the school promptly cut him from the team for such a sin.

Sports are sports and players are always cut for a multitude of sins, but what concerns me the most is the harm that has been done to this young couple.

Is making love to your girlfriend of 3 years a ‘sin’ if you are not married?

Whose idea was it to ‘kiss and tell’?

Was this young couple coerced into revealing their ‘sin’ to save from being ‘outed’?

When it comes to premarital sex; I agree with my friend Steve Ward host of VH-1 reality show Tough Love.  “I strongly recommend abstinence for teenagers, the emotionally unstable and the sexually unhealthy.”  I do not agree that Brandon and Danica have 'sinned.'

I look at the pictures of Brandon and Danica and I hope that their love will carry them through all this, that there love will be strong and that they will have many more nights in each other’s arms, listening to the heart beat of the one that they love….
