Current mood:  shocked
Ok so I know that I write alot of notes, but you should take the time to read this one......
As I sat in the Hallway of Brunar today waiting on my Astronomy teacher to come unlock the door, I noticed something. I walked to the concrete wall to sit in my usual spot and I noticed a guy sitting across from me reading. This guy was in my class last semester, and like me he chose to take this semester's course also with the same teacher. I never really noticed him before, and in a class of 60 people, who does notice everyone?? But I remember the "name" that I placed for him, and the person that I "judged" him to be. He seemed like typical jock who wore the "track and field" shirts. He came in class late sometimes, and it could cross one's mind that this guy didn't really care a whole lot about his studies. He seemed like the typical frat guy, but he did keep to himself.
But today I noticed something. As I walked closer to my spot on the wall, he had a small book in his hand. The book was thick and had gold lining around it. I thought for a minute......"Is that what I think it is?" "Is THIS guy, the one I would least expect, really reading a Bible?" He looked at me out of the corner of his eye and I just smiled, trying my hardest not to make it obvious that I was curious about his reading. The more I sat there, the more I realized how dedicated to this "book" he was. We sat there for a period of about 15 minutes and as he slowly turned the pages, I began to become convinced he was reading the last book I would have expected. As he placed the book in his bag and we walked to the door, I caught a glimpse of the words....."Holy Bible." I thought to myself for a minute......do people see Christ when they see me? I never pictured this man to be a "Christian", or at least not the kind that we always make the sterio-typical "Christian" out to be. I thought all through class about who every day people judge me to be, and the person I portray with my actions. Judging this guy whose name I didn't even know was not right, but aren't we to let our light shine before men? Shouldn't our actions reflect Christ? I'm not saying that jocks, frat boys, or people who arrive late to class aren't Christians and can't "put on" Christ. I'm only saying
Do your every day actions portray Christ to those who know you or even barely know you? Would someone be shocked to find you reading a Bible? Just something to think about......
