Prayer—and the perfect tan
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Whether you head for the beach during a winter break or wait until summer, there’s nothing quite like being out in the sun. Everyone in my family loves to be outdoors. When I was growing up, we would play outside, even go to the beach, all day long.
Now my own kids are old enough to go out and play. So with the concerns going around about the dangers of being out in the sun, I’ve given plenty of thought to our time outside. Naturally, I want my kids to be safe. To that end, I’ve found myself revisiting an experience I had several years back.
Toward the end of one summer, I began to notice some strange splotches on my forearms. And they didn’t fade away along with my tan. In fact, they were becoming worse. I began to get concerned because of the prevalent warnings about the negative effects of sun.
