I am on the verge of giving in to one of the current fashion trends. I am ready to stop shaving every day.
One reason I am reluctant to go that route is that a decline in personal hygiene is one of the marks of old age. Often old people stop bathing and even flushing the toilet. Water costs money, you know.
For this I can thank the young men of today. They spend great effort making it look like they shaved two days ago. I think it might take more time than actually doing the deed but for some reason it is considered stylish. Why should I suffer when simply by ignoring it I can look cool?
Or will it just make me look older?

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
