i guess it doesnt really matter what we wear, how we look and the kinda style we carry. but it is more of how we carry ourselves as christians. but of course we dont wear things or do things that stumble others la. even tho sometimes we look for the latest style in fashion and all, i guess it's okay, unless we sink into it. like if we value these material things more than we value God, then there IS a problemo and we've gotta self check ourselves alr. yeah. =)

Hi David, was surfing around and stumbled into your blog and i erm read. I assume that online is public yeah? And yeah, abt coolness - its not about the style you carry around but rather the thought process behind it. Is the "style" you carry around based on blind following or issit because of that the style we are donning on for a period of time just happen to be the current trend recently.
Conforming to style can only be evil when its not tamed with a sound mind that knows how to discern the messages behind the marketing of the world of style and its multiplying options.
Interesting topic. I did a thesis on style before but its on art/design style not fashion. hahs
Gald to know that you are steadily growing and starting to notice the world around you. Keep up with the growning!
Glad you know it :D I got nothing against it, but yeah, like you said, if these things start replacing Him as your top priority in life then there is something wrong. We are not perfect, but we try. At least you do :D
