From Gary... Color me beautiful




















I wish I knew what kind of Rose this is?  Besides just calling it beautiful, what should I call it?  Chameleon would be a good place to start. Why? Because I see yellow, grey, purple and red, that's why.  It is like it is changing to meet its surroundings and that is what I define as a Chameleon.  Humm, ever known people who call themselves Christians act like that.  You know, religious with the religious and worldly with the worldly.  Not really standing for anything, going "with the flow"... regardless.  And then there is this verse in the Bible...

Romans, Chapter 12
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Be different, be real, be God's own possession.  Do NOT let this heathenistic society drag you down to their level.  Let the word of God dwell in your hearts by faith and let that spirituality be your guiding light to the will of God for your life.  Don't get me wrong- you should always try to be understanding with others, but a Christian should have limits as to what they will do, where they can go and what they can and can not say. No matter how beautiful that "Chameleon" Rose is- if it isn't a R-O-S-E on the inside, then it really isn't beautiful at all (no matter how you dress it up with dewdrops).
