I had the joy of being in Newburg Oregon this past week. The time flew by with the very funny comedy due of Dr. Voss and Dr. Thompson, whitewater rafting, and watching Mt. Saint Helen's smoke. As we walked into the airport to leave I saw a kid of maybe 18 waddling due to his sagging shorts (he did have a belt in his hand...but I don't think they were really going to hold them up that much) he had gage earrings, tattoos, and his had on backwards and to the side. Yes you have guessed it, this kid was trying the "skater/punk" look. I couldn't help but wonder if he is what he wears or wears what he is.
Does he dress this way for acceptance or because it is really him? Do we do the same thing in our Christian walk...we know how to dress, act, and talk but the heart doesn't quite follow. Some people know how to dress to impress and what they are suppose to do and say.
God really challenged me in being consistent with who I am and how I act. Let my words be few and my actions be great. Let God be reflected in my lips and heart.
