Humility

Luke 14:7-11

"When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table he told them this parable: When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, give this man your seat. Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, Friend move up to a better place. Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Jesus taught us to be humble. Whoever was first will be last; whoever will be last will be first.

My personal favorites are Farmville and Hacking for Dummies.

Beauty

I was searching online for quotes about beauty and found a few that I really liked.

"Beauty in my opinion has nothing to do with looks. Its how you are as a person and how you make others feel about themselves." - The Notebook of Life

"Real glamour and beauty is not just mascara, Chanel no. 5 Perfume, and perfect lip gloss. Its being a role model, being beautiful on the inside, and caring more about others than you do yourself." -Unknown

"Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out."- Unknown

This world has distorted images of beauty.  A majority of the models are super-skinny and airbrushed.  No wonder eating disorders among young girls are so common.  Beauty is being the best you, its about caring for and taking care of others before yourself.  Its about putting others before you and following God's plan.

What I don't get about...pro-abortion activists

1. They are for woman's rights. But if the child inside the womb is a girl wouldn't that girl have rights too?

2. They say that a fetus is not a child. But leading scientists say that life begins at fertilization.

3. If someone hits a pregnant woman with a car causing the unborn baby to die then it is considered murder. But abortion is not.
