Ink Blotter 7/17/15

Teresa Mann of Sikeston, Missouri, submitted this photo of her tattoo by artist Erin Thurman. "My husband and I got matching tattoos with this scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, representing not only our love for each other, but our love for God," she said. "This scripture has a very powerful and deep meaning within the words itself. My love for God is very strong, and without Him I wouldn't be where I am today. My love for my husband is strong as well. He has been there for me in so many ways. He is my rock, he makes me laugh, we have fun together, we are into many of the same things, we love spending time with one another and, most of all, we grow together as a couple in our relationship with God. I thank God that he has placed my husband in my life for someone to love me as much as I love them."
