Sanctus Est

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.” - G.W. Carver

Well...

Today I'm chillin out!
Saturday I was showing an Aussie around London with some
friends and will carry on tomorrow! Met her on Friday eve and
also watched films both nights! Needless to say I'm tired!
Went to church yesterday which was cool! Good to see friends
and gain another one from Holland! I've not been sleeping very
well for the past week or so though. Last night was no exception.
It was hot and I just had to get up in the end at about 2:30am.

So at 12:03 I'm still in my pjs and haven't had breackie!
I watched The Tribe this morn! That programe's class! My
bro recorded it from saturday! Also recieved half of a
belated birthday present from one of my aunties this morn!
It's very cool! A book called Ancient Egyptian Queens, a
hieroglyphic dicionary
For those that might want to know,
it's by Wolfram Grajetzki! Exactly the sort of thing I like! :-)

I have been considering getting a tattoo as well. Not
saying I'll get it done yet! A lot of thought needs to go into it!
I may not do it. Just an idea. Well something I used to wanna get
done when I was younger. I went off the idea because it will remain
on your arm forever! If I do get one, it'll be a small one on my
inner wrist. I've thought about having a horse one (the symbol of
the celtic Iceni tribe). The question is, would I want it until I die? I
also know that some Christians don't agree with the idea of getting
tattoos. I know quite a few at my church who don't have objections
and have them. One view is that it just depends on your intentions.

In some ancient cultures where they originated, tattoos meant that
you were a slave but with others, it showed you as part of a tribe/
particular community. It was also used for war in some. The Bible
seems to draw on the slave meaning so it is seen as negetive. I
wonder if most Christians think that Biblical tattoos are okay
(showing eligance to Christ/slave to Christ etc) or that tattoos are
mearly fashion and arn't such a big deal.

Hmmm interesting...

:-). They sure are!
I can't say I've heard that but yeah woad was used by the celts in Britain! Was used in war! Actually helped healing (by scaring wounds quicker) as well as making the wearer look fierce! ;-)

Like your avatar by the way. I like Pre-Raphaelite paintings.

Thanks PL :-)
