First Post!

Just a first random thought - does it bother anyone else to notice words usually associated with our Lord used in very un-Godly situations? Case in point - has anyone seen the trailer for next year's movie, "Alpha and Omega"?? Isn't that title attributed to Christ Himself both By Himself as well as in Revelation? Why couldn't they name the little wolves, "A and B"? or "Mutt and Jeff"?? There are hundreds of other phrases they could have used beside a title for the Lord, aren't there? After watching that trailer for the 4th or so time today, my search for eyeliner at the local Walmart turned up a brand of makeup called "Infallible." Now, isn't that an attribute of our Lord God? What else is really entitled to that word? How many consumers buy that brand that have really no idea what the word means, being unfamiliar with the older versions of scripture where it appears. Can a cosmetic really aspire to be faultless, to always be what it purports to be???? These little things bother me. They are also accumulating......at Christmas when trying to buy lip gloss for my daughters' stockings, I kept running into "OMG" brand girls' cosmetics. What's up with that????? Maybe some people think they use that term to merely mean "Oh My Gosh," but how are your fellow texters/Facebookers supposed to know unless they happen to know you intimately?? I certainly don't want a tube with that branded up the side coming out of my girls' purses!!! I just think as Christians we should care a little more about our souls and their condition on a daily basis, and while giving up little pieces of our identity don't individually probably amount to much, mounded up all together they look pretty substantial, and we look like we have sold out. I for one am not proud of this face we show the world.
