@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d So....(and you'll see why I mention this)....had you been waiting and planning as long for the extra ear piercing as you did for the tattoos? Sounds like they all happened together because it was all convenient for you in the same establishment, anyway...

@amigo de christo Indeed, we need to keep 'looking unto Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith' (Hebrews 12.2) and not unto men.....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I'm very much reminded of Hebrews 11, referring to the Old Testament saints: 'By faith....By faith...By faith...', over and over....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Well, if your daughter knew you waited all that time before it finally happened, I reckon her reaction was something like: 'A tattooed mom at long last...' But was she a bit surprised you didn't in the end go for the Revelation 20.22 tattoo design?

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Spurgeon's whole approach is both earnest and heartwarming...the way he applies Scripture is so vivid.......

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Sounds like your tattoo parlor also does piercings; often they have both services available. It's not always the same person that does the piercings as that does the tattooing, though. Most tattoo parlors that do piercings prefer to use needles rather than the gun...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Indeed so....John 17.17; Psalm 119.105...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d I love dear old Spurgeon; I have a book with an edited collection of quotes from him....

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Sounds like she would have been really pleased for you as she watched the ink being shot in.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Reminds me of 1 Thessalonians 5.11-13: "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very...

@Marilyn C Keeping those groups of ppl distinct indeed helps greatly in interpreting the Scriptures. Clearly it is the church in view in 1 Corinthians 11.26; it would be unwise to lump together all those groups.

@Wynona If you don't remember, then sounds like you just had one each side done, and not more later...

@Taken Arm and wrist tattoo placements are indeed very sought after; and are particularly in evidence during the summer, naturally....

John 1 says of the Lord Jesus: "Without Him was not anything made that was made". He is gloriously the Creator and not the created.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d As @Pearl said a while ago, this forum has quite a bit of heavy stuff and threads sometimes which a just a teeny bit more lighthearted do not come amiss also. So from what you said on the other thread about your new tattoos, you also got an ear piercing at the same time?

@Siddhi Koli This is a great verse from a marvellous chapeter of John's Gospel. Good to read God's Word depending on the Holy Spirit prayerfully for understanding.

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d You really like that preacher, don't you? He seems like he has decades of experience in handling the Word to the glory of God and the challenge of the hearers.

Romans 8.34; Hebrews 7.25; Jude 24. :)

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d More truth there than it at first may seem...

@L3astAm0ngManyB13ss3d Let's hope you now have lots of opportunities to talk to ppl with your faith related tattoos! They are proven conversation-starters, and so those whose motivation and efforts in obtaining faith based tattoos have felt compelled to use the tattoo parlor for this reason are...
