Odd Thing
Here is an odd thing. After family prayer this morning we got to talking about chest hair. Yes, I know, very spiritual. (I blame this kind of stuff on Rae.) Our gathering for prayer has always lead to our being slightly rambuntous for some reason, anyway--I think society wants us to be androgenous! Why should a man have to wax his body? What is wrong with a hairy chest? The same scent for men and women? Please, no. Clothes the same? -jeans, black t shirt, a bandana, and tatoos and skate shoes. I have seen more and more people lately I cannot tell what sex they are.
Well, I guess the basketball player with the ponytale last night sent me over the edge,but I do enjoy a good rant once in a while--back to the topic..
Yea, I know, styles like thes have been around forever but it bugs me particularly this week.
Theyre trying to make it sexy (and a "turn on") when a woman "likes" a woman or if a person goes either way? Maybe by society I really should say Satan.
I say "Vive la Differance!"
even in a world that touts showing lots of cleavage it shouldn'e be appropriate before noon!

Opposition in All Things I Guess
There is a beautifully simple chapel built high above Sedona. It seems to almost grow out of the rocks and mountains themselves. Candles are lit and prayers ascend, people ponder and meditate there, and the views are beautiful, except for one thing--Someone is building a horrendous mansion right across the way!
It is gaudy and ostentatious in the extreme. The contrast is like day and night, good and evil, and it is blatantly worldly like a "great and spacious building". It is not quite completed, and no one lives in it yet, but the architect has a sign up procaiming his ownership in the creation of this folly, this blight on the landscape, but, it is also sure that someone will soon move in, oblivious to the insult.
This is beyond one of those "McMansions" I dislike so much. I was appalled at its "grotesque audacity". (Okay, now I am stretching.)
I know I am ranting, but I couldn't help myself this time and it is my blog, perhaps I will start using this forum more often. I do love to climb on the old soap box once in a while.
If we become aware of this frightening trend, we can battle it in our own way. I don't know what that way may be but I hope we find it. I know awareness is the first step toward change.
Here is a photo in one direction from the courtyard entryway of the Christian chapel. ( I think it was Catholic) I did not take a picture the other way. I could not bring myself to do so. Maybe I should have. No, I don't think so, that might have given it some sort of perverse recognition "it" somehow craves.
