So I like think about things and when I think that I have thought of something really good I like to write it down, so that I can use it later and I’m pretty sure that I stumbled onto one of those things. Because when I speak, I like to talk about these things and try to get everyone else thinking and to try to have them come up with their own conclusion. So here it is.

You see a lot of us call ourselves Christians, Christ Followers, or whatever makes you happy really. The point is, “is it who you are, or what you do”? Now let me give you the illustration on which I got this thought. I was watching T.V. and Brian O’Reilly was on so I was a little intrigued on what he was talking about, because the were talking about the NBA, because lately the have had a huge controversy about homosexual players and weather or not they should come out. And O’Reilly was saying, “being “gay” is what they do, NOT who they are. We are Americans that’s who we are we.” So that’s how this whole thing came about. Christianity is who we are, or what we do?

Now I have been thinking about this a lot lately. And I am about to let you know what I believe it is and you might hate it or you might like it. But what I ask that you come up with your own opinion on this. So here it is, I believe that it is both now I’m not trying to cop my way out of this, but being a Christ Follower that IS who I am, but you see there’s a lot of verbs that go with that label; love, compassion, servant, guide, and live. Why I think this makes me so pumped about this is that I get looked at a lot, because of my appearance, you see all of you probably don’t know this about me, but I have plugs and so you can see right through my ears, and what I don’t understand is that a lot of people look at these things as distractions or assume that I’m some weird guy. But these things are not me, they are not who I am.

The other day I was at the post of send out some letters and this lady next to me was staring at the wholes in my ears, now you see what you all also don’t know about me is that I have a few tattoos, and they are also not who I am, but obviously they are all Christian tattoos, but on this day I was wearing my hoody so they were all covered up. So I’m thinking to myself, why does she keep looking at my ears, well I knew why, but why did she insist on keep looking at them. I wanted to turn around and ask her what type of person she thought I was. But I didn’t and it would have made a great addition to the story if I had.

Now I get this a lot, and it really doesn’t bother me, because I decided to do this to my ears and to my body, but I don’t regret it at all. I love them, it brings up conversations that I never would have had with people, if I didn’t have them. And this is why I am Unperfect.
