Tattoo's

So last spring break we took a day to go to Daytona. I was excited because I had never been to Daytona before. While driving we had found out one of our fellow road trip members had a tattoo. We talked and joked about stopping and getting tattoo's. Something in my mind got really excited about this and wondered what I would get. Something Christian of course, because if I am going to mark up my body it would still have to be glorifying to Christ. But time ran out and we never ended up going.

Now for me a tattoo is about the most impulsive and out of control thing I could do. My mom holds firm to them being Biblically wrong, my brother has a lot of them, and here at school a lot of people sport them as well.Though here people tend to either flaughnt them or hid them. Obviously there are different motives for both...all this to say. What is truely wrong with marking your body if it is going to be for Christ? Would people be able to be "Sunday Christians" if they had a cross on their body that everyone could see. Wouldn't it help serve as a reminder of what we are to live up to? (Now for my mom, don't freak out...I'm not going to get a tattoo.)

But just think about what this would do, a higher call to accountablility. People couldn't put on or take off their beliefs when they served their purpose. How much different would our world look? Our churches? Our campus?
