    What's the weather like where you are?

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    I have actually talked to more than one young person who has gone to the considerable - and uncomfortable - trouble of getting the whole wording of John 3.16 injected into their skin (arm; wrist area). My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole wording of the text on her wrist area; it...

    Who managed to quit smoking?

After the American Civil War, with the Progressive Era and influx of so called robber...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    @Naomi25 Thanks for the 'like' just now; I guess, then, that, despite your reservations in some ways, you do at some level perceive how young Christian men and women might - in today's set of outlooks and opportunities - regard the idea of a Christian tattoo artist as a helpful and positive...

    What's the weather like where you are?

    Welcome to the returning Alberta winter... What with the winds off the Rockies, the Canadian province with all four seasons of the year in one day... :)

    So which particular aspect would you be thinking of; it's a big subject...?
