No it's a very good point. And I really do struggle with it.
I try to keep away from consumerist culture as much as possible. I try to spend money only on things I actually need and then use the rest of my money to serve the needy people in my community as best I can.
I try to put them before me as often as I can but I do continue to fail.
Tattoos are the way I treat myself. And I do believe that Jesus does want us to enjoy our lives as long as it glorifies him. He gave us bodies as a gift and wants us to enjoy them within reason.
I'm not 100% whether I should be paying for tattoos and if God tells me that I should stop then I will but for the meantime I feel confident that overall I am drawing close to God. Also having Jesus on me it'll remind me what is important - as all my tattoos do.
Dublin Kevin if your in London I'd love to actually talk to you about it face to face. It's really challenging and something I do try to consider. And then it would keep fellow forumengers happy as we wouldn't de-rail the thread. Pub and chat?
