Hi, my name is Sammy. I'm from Nigeria. It is nice to meet you. :) 

You probably already knew that since my face and name is plastered all over this blog.

You probably also know that I have two beautiful daughters, a great wife and two giant dogs (one really dumb one and one really smart one)

But this post is NOT about me. No, it's about you. Getting to know you. 

Please know that I'm not writing this because I didn't have anything to post today. I'm actually ahead of my writing so I have a ton of stuff I could post. In other words, this post is NOT a filler. 

I actually genuinely want to know more about YOU.

Click here for first 10 thoughts on physical beauty. 

11. Women dig it too.

I'm a dude. I have no idea what women want (not that they do either. Just kidding. Seriously. I kid) but I know every time I challenge us about modesty or sex, I get comments or emails from females saying 'Hey Sammy, it goes the other way too?'  


It makes sense. God didn't just wire men to be sexual beings. Women dig attraction, get addicted and admire physical beauty also. 

12. Outside too.

While God looks on the inside and commands us to clean the inside first, he also still cares about what’s on the outside. 

13. Christian men sometimes make it worse part 2.

The porn industry has offered men (and probably women too but again, I can't speak on this) the perfect fake woman that no real woman can ever compete with

In response to our sizzling 'should wives be hot?' conversation last week. 

1. It exists.

Can we just say that? Can we admit it? It’s real. It exists. In our schools, homes and (gasp) churches. Physical beauty exists and it’s here to stay. 


Also, according to our culture, some of us have more physical beauty than others. It's not a fair or right standard but it exists so let's start talking about it because ignoring it doesn't help anyone. 

2. Beauty in and of itself is not inherently evil.

If you strip creation of the pollution of sin, the depravity of our culture and how it poorly defines beauty, you will still find beauty in everything God made.

I don’t mean spiritual inner beauty (which does exist and is of greater value). I mean, physical beauty. i.e it looks good to the eyes.

Very few things irk me like gossip.

I'm not sure why but I have a very very low tolerance for gossip. I just can't stand it. Funny thing is as I'm typing this in real time, someone just made a comment that I'd throw in the bucket O'gossip.

It literally just happened.

Same way it's been happening with this person for weeks now. There's always someone to talk about. Usually the person who's not in the room at present.

I'll never forget the look on her face after the movie ended.

Funny thing is, I don’t even remember what movie we watched.

I remember my brain cells were fried from our knees touching throughout the whole movie but I don’t remember the name of the movie.

Just the look on her face after the movie was done. 

The face of someone who wondered if she would ever experience anything close to the fairy tale kind of love she just witnessed for a few hours (albeit indirectly through an unrealistic movie). 

Yea, I saw that look on Ashley's face and in that very moment I knew it was me vs 'the chick flick'.
