Always a surprise...

I often say that it is hard living with 4 men because they are always leaving me surprises.
Once again, I find myself blogging about my bathroom. Why is that? I am getting so many of these bathroom babbles, maybe some day I can publish a book and be famous. Not! I can dream of money, right?

My son had a young lady over to die his hair black. I thought they had cleaned up, but this is the surprise I found the next morning when I went to take a shower. I should have known better than to be surprised and should have been expecting it.

First, I wonder if the round stains would make good digital scrapbooking elements? I'll have to play! Only digital scrapbookers would look at a mess like this and think positive, huh?

I am not sure why he wanted to die his hair black. I had said no. However, two of the male inhabitants of my house sided with him and ganged up against me. It is no fair when they do that to me. His hair does not look much different to me because the original color was so dark already. At least he did not want to die it pink.

I am wondering if it is one of those actions teens take when they are trying to identify themselves and understand who they are. I never understand why teens do that. Really, how does wild hair styles and body piercings help you find who you are? I never did get it even as a teen and never did things such as that.

I have a feeling that a lot of the other teens are doing this and it is a new trend. He just wants to be like everyone else and be cool.

I looked at those stains on my bathroom sink for a while yesterday morning reflecting. I immediately thought of how I feel so stained. Is this what I look like to God when I sin? I know I must have a ton of those little circles of stain or long runs of stain all over me each day.

However, I am comforted that I know who I am in that I am in Christ. He washes away my stains and makes me new. I do not need to follow what the rest of the world is doing, but rather come to God asking for forgiveness. I praise God that he does forgive me and does not count my sins against me.

2 Corinthians 5 16 - 20

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
