You and your sister are much, much, more attractive than either. Just one guy's opinion. No, I think the girl in the painting looks more like the actress Shelly Duval.

Singleness is indeed a gift...it does seem that Paul prefers that lifestyle better...

If it is questioned by some, as in the states, then it is black. If it would be questioned if you didn't drink (in a Christian setting) like in some countries, then it is white--but here in the US, I won't. Celibacy v. Marriage: Be 100%. Often a future partner blind-sides you and then you can make the shift, but don't waste energy wondering if you are going to be single or married. Just "be single" until you get married. BTW: the Lord delights to give us the desire of our heart. ;-) Vanity: Why do you want to look great? Answer that question and you answer your own question. I dress and groom for maximum leadership potential and kingdom effectiveness, not for peer approval or "self-esteem." Why do you want to look good? Do you see what I'm saying? Painting: Yes, I see a similiarity. I actually think the painting looks more like what I remember Liana to look like. But it has been a while...so I could be wrong.

But what world? We shouldn’t live by America’s standerds..b/c in other societies things are a lot different then in America.. There are so many societies and none of them are completely right.
