This week the most viewed post was viewed significantly more than the others. I am not sure if it was because so many enjoyed it, or so many were offended by it. If you choose to click on and read, Gawd is not a Name let me first forewarn you …

you might be offended by what I have written,

if you are a follower of Christ.

Let me also say that I do believe that using the name of God, in vain, is a sin, whether the ‘user’ knows it or not.

But, I do believe that most who do use the Lord’s name in vain, do so outside of the family of God, and therefore they have yet to deal with the sin that we were all born with … and that sin from the garden of Eden, needs forgiveness before any other.

Thanks to those who have challenged me. I am a blog writer, not an expert on Christianity, or pretty much anything else. I would be horrified to think that anyone might think my words to be ‘gospel’ …

I am so very much still working it all out … and you, as readers get to read my workings as though this were a reality blog.

Also this week were :

What Do You Like About You
(a challenge to look at the positives when we look in the mirror)

Ashes to Ashes
(thinking about Ash Wednesday)

What can you be Thinking of?
(a second look at Proverbs 31)

Cold and Dark and Dreary
(rain and pain)

Blessings to you this day,
Carole

What Do You Like About You?

A couple of weeks ago I published a post called Selfies, about the cultural fascination with taking selfies, also known as self-shot photos, usually for the purpose of posting on social network sites.

This post received numerous comments, and discussion.

I became aware, this past weekend, that the NBC Today show focused on selfies just last week, in regards to how we see ourselves.

The link from one particular program episode is below, and on this episode each of the Today hosts appears without any television makeup. Each one talks about the ‘flaws’ they see when they look in the mirror. They also talk about what they like about their bodies.

Some quotes from the video that are good to consider, as we each look into our mirror, or take a selfie :

beauty is inside out
grandmother’s hands
focus on the beauty in other people
when I think of beauty I think of my wife
we are what we are inside
beauty is when you give off joy
beauty is behind the eyes, something exuded from the heart and the soul
(with our daughters) we do not talk about looks

I think it is a good and healthy thing to ensure that we have balance (my own focus word for 2014) in every area of our lives (spoken as one pursuing it, not as one who has achieved it). My challenge to you is to take a look in the mirror, and name one thing you really like about your physical image.

Then, make sure that you tell someone who is in the midst of forming their own definition of who they are (a daughter, a niece, an adolescent or teen you know). They hear, far too often, as we self-criticize, lets model appreciation for what is good!
