Sonnie,

Good post. Naturally, I don't disagree with you; I just wanted to make sure we are careful about what we label as sin.

The beauty pageant is questionable to me and I've only allowed her to participate in this one pageant b/c it's not so much a look at me sort of thing, but rather a more fun event. I don't like the concept behind them, but we are grasping at straws to help her improve her self-esteem. It does seem to help b/c she loves the dressing up, etc that's involved.

But all in all, I understand your points and they aren't wrong. I just want to make sure we're careful what we label as sin.
