Yes, whether one goes on to wear earrings is another matter, although for teenagers it's almost 'obligatory' to have it done, it seems. These days it's very widespread for the young men to do it also.

The point is that the perfection - in the sense of completeness - is in Scripture rather than in my understanding of it.

Glad you had the opportunity to move...

Feeling safer also is part of it, right?

Good quote there from 1 Corinthians 15.

Oh okay...I guess Mrs. A hasn't done it, either.

Hi, Ms. Nancy; I saw your post on the other thread about your recent upheavals, your highs and lows emotionally, etc. It must have been a trying time recently. So do you still find that for you the vaping still helps, through the throat hits? (i.e., far better than cigarettes).

Glad you guys succeeded in your goal, anyway.
