A Woman's Beauty




This video shows how Hollywood distorts a woman's natural beauty and gives us a look at what is "true beauty" in their eyes.


Here is how to be a christian woman of beauty:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

New Movie: House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti

Thank you Lisa for letting me know that a Ted Dekker movie was coming out. I didn't realize that the movie was coming out today, until I saw the ad for it in the newspaper this morning.



When a new Christian movie comes out, I spread the news to my friends and family, but they usually react by asking if it is going to be as cheesy/preachy/low budget as the last Christian movie I dragged them to. From what I have read on the internet, House does not seem to be your typical "cheesy and preachy" Christian movie. It is the story of four souls entering their own Hell, mistaking their one hope of rescue as something evil, and in the end, they must choose life or death. With an R rating, this movie has no foul language, no sexual scenes, and very little blood, but received the rating do to the disturbing themes.. ... and how could a movie about Hell not be disturbing?


To see if the movie plays in your town:

About This Blog

This blog was inspired after I read Timothy 4:12. The verse reads, “Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” After reading this, I realized that as a Catholic, I was not setting a good example. Yes, I went to Church regularly. Yes, I have always believed in God, that Christ died for my sins and because of His sacrifice and my acceptance of it, I would go to Heaven. However, my day to day life was anything but God-centered. I had become too much attached to this world, forgetting that I should have been focused on Christ. Instead, I had become focused on what the secular world told me what was right, what was “in”. I listened to what music everybody else thought was cool, which was mostly Top 40 and was self-centered, not realizing how blessed I really was. I now want to live for Jesus every day. I realize that I, along with you, are called by God to live as an example of Christ in ALL aspects of our lives — not just in Church or around Christians. We are to be an example of Christ everywhere. What we read, watch, listen to, think, the way we love others are all supposed to lead back to one person: Christ. I hope and pray that this blog gives you, a young Christian, the resources and information you need live a Christ-like example, “in speech and conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
