I was talking to my friend, Tamra on FaceBook earlier and she gave me one of those eye opening talks.  About 1/2 the people on my FB friends list are from our church in Dallas.  We moved from there 17 years ago and I have loved the chance to reconnect with all of them.  Anyway, I was not going to post any of the wedding pics there because of how I feel about the whole tattoo thing, and frankly, I guess some of it was embarrasment because I didn&#39;t want all my friends to see them.  Tamra was in the youth group of our church and she was my sons babysitter when we needed one.  Now she is all grown with a family of her own and she and her husband are pastors in the Savannah area.  I told her that I wasn&#39;t going to post the pics but then Beverly (my best friend) wrote on Gregory&#39;s wall this morning that she loved him and hoped that he and Darcey were very happy and he replied that he could guarantee her that I would have wedding pics posted as soon as I got around to it and I felt kind of trapped into posting them because I didn&#39;t want to hurt him.  She gave me one of those parent/child lectures - only I was on the receiving end.  She said that there are a lot of &quot;tattoed people&quot; in their church and that people always judge them by their appearance and how that saddens God, because he sees their hearts and not all the ink.  She said that I should be happy that they do go to church and are raising their kids in church, and that they have found a church where they are accepted and there are people &quot;like them&quot;.  She urged me to look past the &quot;colorful display&quot; because God expects us all to be non-judgmental and that my son has a good heart and she is sure that Darcey does too, and we all have things about ourselves that we would hope that people would not judge us on.  Tammy&#39;s (what I have always called her)  is her weight.  She used to be a model when she was in her late teens and early 20&#39;s and became very anorexic and now her weight is out of control, but she is trying to get on top of that.  She is a beautiful girl, because I know her heart, and she just reminded me to always look at that part of others and not the external.  Out of the mouths of babes...okay, she isn&#39;t a baby anymore, but to me, she will always be that 15 yr. old who smiled as big as all outdoors...
