I spent some time on the beach recently.  I purposefully stayed away from the more popular spots.  It's just easier on the eyes that way.

I find myself reacting in a new way to that young couple walking together totally in love, or in lust, or something.  He thinks he has something incredible in his grasp.  I can only think about one thing: "But will she keep?"

The truth is, beauty is temporary.  Everything sags someday.  I recently had surgery that left around 13 big scars.  I'm so glad I invested in a committed relationship that was not based on beauty.  This past weekend that commitment was 33 years old.  It is a lasting beauty!

I always believed physical beauty is temporary.  That I'd better stay focused on something else.  Now I know it.  Faith is like that.  You believe something to be true, then you align your values according to that belief, then you wait and live it out, then you know!
