Do you ever find yourself reading people's T-Shirts? Some of them make me smile, some of them make me sad and a few of them make me sick. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Oh, and guys, it's best to not read T-Shirts that the ladies are wearing at all. You know why......
Then there are "Christian" T-Shirts. One would think that, since I'm a pastor, I'd really like "Christian" T-Shirts. There are a few that are alright, but most of them, I really dislike! So many of them either scream condemnation or say "I'm a Christian so I'm better than you". No, they don't say it directly, but it's there.......
I did mention, however, that there are a few I like. A few weeks ago, my son, Charlie, and I went to the Sonshine Christian music festival in Willmar, Minnesota. We had a great time listening to dozens of bands and Charlie even got to perform on the impromptu stage. If you'd like to hear some of Charlie's music, check out http://www.virb.com/charlied.
While we were at Sonshine I saw a T-Shirt that really made me think. It was a simple, yellow shirt with black lettering and a tiny graphic. It said: God, help me be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.
Okay, so maybe I'm pretty simple, but that's a message that I can relate to. And it's a message that challenges me (and I don't even have a dog!).
How about you? Are you the kind of person your dog thinks you are? If not, today is a great day to start becoming that person!
