Zach's Ramblings
Greetings,
Who can tell me what Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20, and 2 Corinthians 13:12 have in common. Give up? Well, they all use the phrase greet one another with a holy kiss. These days you don't see too many Christians going around greeting one another with a holy kiss. For most of us a nice firm handshake will do. Although when I was younger I always thought that I would not mind going around greeting the girls with a holy kiss, it would have been a good excuse anyway. But it never really happened for me quite like that and I am sure if I had gotten up the nerve to do it, it would have ended with me getting slapped.
Valentine's Day is what got me to thinking about all this kissing stuff. Just for fun I found some statistics and facts on kissing that a dentist did in New York. I do not know how solid her research was, but for what it is worth here are some of her findings.
- Kissing may actually prevent cavities since saliva is the body's natural way of cleaning the mouth
- South Africa Bans Kissing. In December 2007 the South African government banned kissing involving anyone under the age of 16, regardless of consent.
- A lifetime of Kissing. the average person will spend an estimated 20,160 minutes of kissing in their lifetime
- First Kiss. 50% of all people have their first kiss before the age of 14.
- Kisses & Calories. You burn 26 calories in a one-minute kiss.
- First Movie Kiss. John C. Rice kissed May Irwin in 1896, and became the first couple to be recorded kissing in the film The Kiss.
- Ninety Percent Habit-Forming. Ninety percent of people in the world engage in kisses on the lips. Other cultures, such as Eskimos, rub noses.
I hope you everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day with the one they love and the one they love to kiss (hopefully that is the same person).
God Bless,
Zach
