Certified Hotties

Okay, So in 'The Square', we all call ourselves certified hotties. Do we think that we are necessarily prettier than anyone else? No, unless you count some of Tom's girlfriends... but, I digress. We call each other nice names to lift each other up, not put each other down! I hear too many teens and young adults in conversation with their friends throwing out some really negative and downright crude terms and truly thinking that they are 'showin some love' when they say it! When has it become acceptable in our culture to say degrading things to one another? We really need to step back and take a look at our lives and how we carry ourselves. When we carry ourselves wrong, we misrepresent who we really are and miss out on opportunities to show the love of Christ.

I feel like The Square started a really good thing by getting all the teens in our youth at church on board with this positive name calling thing... I have actually noticed some differences in the way many of the teens act because of it. My challenge to you is to concentrate on being more positive in your life and seeing how contagious it can be to others!!
