Pierced @ MindSay

            The prophets in the Bible are often difficult to understand.  They spoke about people with strange names, in situations and places we’re unfamiliar with.  And then, once in a while, like a light shining through a doorway in a dark hall, we read something that is stunning in its prophetic intensity, although it seems like it’s totally out of context.  And, often, it is.  It’s a prophecy about an event that couldn’t have been happening then and hasn’t happened since. 

 

            I was reading in Zechariah the other night.  The Lord is speaking and says, “I will pour out on the kingship of David and the population of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication so that they will look to me…”  And then this: “the one they have pierced.”

 

            The commentary I’m reading says that some of the copyists changed “me” to “him” because they could not accept that God—the only one who could pour out of spirit of grace and supplication—could be pierced.  But we know that God was pierced.  An amazing truth—an amazing love from the powerful, Creator-God who loved us enough to die.

 

             

I didn’t want to get out of bed today, let alone the house, but I actually had work tonight. I went in at 6, heels dragging, the mall was packed do to all the rain, for which I had no umbrella, and consequently had to park in no man’s land. So by the time I got into work, I was soaked and more than a little peeved. So as I was getting chatted in, I noticed one of the girls had her nose pierced, which really frosted the cake. I have been dying to get an industrial bar for months now, but couldn’t because of work’s dress code. Honestly, I can’t get apart of my ear pierced when another girl has her bloody nose pierced for the entire world to see? I wear my hair down when I go into work, costumers don’t see my ears anyway. The whole shift this bothered me, the more I thought about it the more perturbed I became. So after I got off I headed straight to Wicked Ink, where I promptly got my tragus pierced. In conclusion: EAT IT!

it really didnt hurt that bad ^_^

I would like some input from anyone who has piercings outside of the range of "normal." This excludes all piercings of the ears, and I would prefer ones not in the head at all, but input on those is fine. Also, I would like to hear opinions from anyone, regardless of being pierced or not. As many responses as possible would be great.
