Paul's writings are indeed searching. He did believe he was a good law-keeping...except without realizing it at first he had been covetous... We can look within and - apart from the grace of God - see the beginnings of reasonings which in fact may differ greatly from the way we relate ourselves...

Indeed; As Paul says to the Corinthians in the last chapter of the Second Epistle, we avoid being reprobates when we prove that we are what we say we are.

We who profess need indeed continually to get back to the Word...

Speculating might not be constructive. True about a future popular figure emerging. It's far better to trust God's Word than to worry and speculate.

It may be that increasingly for younger ppl, not to be tattooed will become almost a radical act of fashion, going against a huge trend... (While for your daughters maybe it was simply a natural, straightforward thing to do; part of such a huge trend. I saw a quote from the Bible Belt - which I...

Well, if the idea eventually came from them they would in any case readily get a ride to the parlor from their grandmother, wouldn't they? So anyway they like it. Sounds also as if the colors that they like are still quite strong and not faded. Still the original colors, maybe? not unusually if...

The parable of the sower is very searching...

Bright and clear today; somewhat windy.
