Body Art: Art or A reminder...

First I am posting this just to see what reaction and response I get... This is something that I have been thinking about lately and am beginning to ponder the thought of body art. Now some say tattoos, some say body art, what ever you call it, it is what it is. Yes some may take it offensively, so say it is trashy, some may think it is art. Me personally I have nothing against it. I am not the one to say what you put on your body is my choice, it is that: YOUR CHOICE. Therefore I am not criticizing body art, when in fact, I am intrigued each day more and more with it. So here is the million dollar question to those who are tattooed or not tattooed... Do you see your body art just as that, or do you see it as a reminder of something? I have to be honest, the more I am beginning to run I am seeing myself wanting a tattoo. I want someting as a daily reminder to keep going, keep running, keep perservering. Which is why I have thought seriously about a tattoo on my foot of perserverance. That way each day that I put shoes on I will see it. See it as a reminder to perservere in life, whether it be in running, life struggles, or daily routines. I dont want it in a place that I can't see it, because then you don't have the reminder... We are told in the Bible that we are to push through, perservere in our walk with Him. Romans 5:3-5 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Ponder the thought: If you saw something everyday as a reminder does it make you strive to move closer to that goal. Running, Weight loss, a closer walk with Christ... So just a thought for the day...
