Dull today but dry.

@Butterfly Thanks for your thoughtful comments; and I hope that for their own sakes — rather than for the sake of "moralizing", so to speak — all your family members can manage to remain smoke free. You are absolutely right about the way in which in the past some things and practices have been...

I hope you can quit, Sir.

@Acolyte You know, some ppl don't quite seem to grasp that some tattooed people really don't mind their tattoos that they freely acquired and actually think they are quite nice...

@Acolyte While I think there may be some truth in Hislop's book, it may also be somewhat speculative; and certainly staying in the Word is great advice. :)

A searching Epistle, Colossians...

@Waiting on him I guess there is some measure of recognition that, just as receiving ink — of which many Christian women avail themselves — has become a very womanly thing to do (whereas it used to be very much a man thing, almost exclusively), so also now giving as well as receiving ink has...

Keep pursuing the reading of Scripture in a trusting way, seeing the Saviour there in all His glory... Philippians 2; Ephesians 2; Psalm 46; are great passages.

@Waiting on him So do you think she has gotten more accustomed to the idea of your daughter in theory doing tattoos for a living? (I don't think @VictoryinJesus has posted on this thread yet...)
