What is your Identity?
There is a new game show called “Identity.” There are 12 people on the stage and the contestant has to pick from a list of identities and match it to the “strangers” (as they are referred) on stage. Some are really obvious such as a sumo wrestler who is dressed as such, or when the only one on stage wearing cowboy boots and hat is the champion bull rider. The others get more complicated as trying to guess which is the heart transplant recipient or the preacher’s kid.
Of course this got me to thinking, what if I was on that show? What would my identity be and would I be able to fool the contestant? Then of course (as my sister and dad know) there is a sermon in everything, so I saw the spiritual significance in this. When others look at me, can they see my most important identity: a child of Christ? Do I easily come across as a Christian by my words and actions? If not, I need to seriously work on my attitude and make sure that my light shines to all who try to guess my identity.

really, really good point. I will be pondering this!
Kaitlyn told me today that she took a story from our lives and "found a sermon in it!" I think she blogged about it. I haven't checked yet.
