Poser

I'm not afraid of going to the dentist. I never have been really. It wasn't until I was laying in the chair with a large instrument tightly fastened around my top-right wisdom tooth and the dental nurse holding my head securely in place that I thought I may have to re-evaluate my disposition towards the dentist. I was having my first tooth extraction. With a sharp twist and pull, the tooth was removed. To my surprise, the procedure was completely painless.

It went so well that I didn't just stop at one tooth, but I had the other top wisdom tooth removed as well. Don't get me wrong - I'm not some tooth-extraction addict - the other had to be removed also. I just figured that while I'm on a roll I might as well get the other out. My sister was a bit freaked-out by the fact that I brought my teeth home:



Saturday was Tony and Amanda's wedding. It was a small crowd, but a wedding nonetheless. It was a pretty casual ceremony, hence us being able to take photos of ourselves :p



I went shopping with Shaun today and we were checking out some sunnies. I seem to have lost my pair of Arnette's, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to invest in a new pair.



Queer much?

Something else a bit queer that's been going on at Church lately is the sharing of hair. In particular, a mullet wig (featured in Jordan's Peter's Trumpet - Simplifying Summer ad).



We got an email at work the other week reminding everyone to wear their ID badges. It was argued that badges allow staff to be easily identifiable by others - particularly by patients. Some people had become a bit slack in wearing their ID. Some people just simply don't like wearing it - they don't like displaying it, or couldn't care less if they are meant to stand out.

And God showed me that sometimes we forget to display our identity as a follower of Christ. I have been in situations in the past where I've neglected to wear it, or it's been easier to hide it.

We need to discover our identity in Christ and display it proudly. I don't want to hide in the shadows when times get tough. But I want to stand prominently in God's light.

God help me to be sincere in my faith.
