Crépy Skin

 


When Kathy and I watch TV, it seems like the later in the evening that it gets, the longer that the commercial break becomes.  And if I can’t sleep on a particular night, the infomercials in the wee hours of the morning seem endless. One in particular bothers me: the one about Crépe Erase.  Jane Seymour is 72 years old but doesn’t look a day over 40!  And on her infomercial, the camera zooms in on an older lady with sagging crépy skin under her arm.  I had an algebra teacher in high school who had just such arms.  She would erase the chalk board and the skin under her arm would flab as she erased.  Yuck!  Hey, aging is natural and unavoidable, but it’s also natural to fight it all you can.  I have no problem with ladies who do their best to look their best.  Aging may be slowed with beauty products, but aging cannot be stopped.  And, eventually, death comes to everyone, even Jane Seymour.  The writer of the book of Hebrews said in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”  Hey, use the beauty products and look as good as you can, but more importantly, prepare for your eternal destiny.  Your eternal destiny is much more important than avoiding crépy skin!
