Knowing what we believe and why we believe it is not an option for the Christian, because as believers, OUR BELIEFS ARE THE VERY HEART OF WHO WE ARE.

Our behaviors reflect what we believe. If we want to change our behavior, we have to change our beliefs.

I know it sounds a bit corny, but I do think that beauty and sexiness come from within.
