True, that. I've learned the hard way to wear muted colors and insect repellent when I'm working in the flower beds!!!

Re: Wedding rings

We get to walk on streets of gold, have gates of pearl and stones galalore in HEAVEN but it is listed as a "no no" here. Never could understand that.

Sometimes people get hung up on "trivial" things that God must look down and shake His head and say, CHILDREN, CHILDREN OH MY!!

I get so annoyed at over-analysis of stuff like this, because it usually isn't a very complicated process. When I see a pretty dress or blouse, I DON'T [ever??!!] think, "Wow, I can catch a bunch of guys' attention in THAT!" I usually think, "Wow, that's beautiful", and then I touch it to see how it feels, and I think something like, "That has a nice, quality weight to it", or "Nah, that's too scratchy."

It's not nearly so underhanded as men imagine. Of course, male narcissists everywhere tend to think that every choice a woman makes is made with them in mind. If they only knew....
Seriously!

Men think we think about them a whole lot more than we do.

For the record, I'm not against the colorful clothes, just ask my wife and daughter. Just making a point about adornment in general, some condemn jewely as adornment but so can clothes, mentioned in same scripture.

First of all Bees don't sting flowers. They collect pollen.

Second, God created them that way.

Third, so what?

Re: Wedding rings

Tried to edit but my fingers must have done the walking and missed the right key. Sorry about that. Those 2 "mixed up messages" were typed before the right one was sent - don't understand that. God bless.
