It's still tax time.
Even though I've already done my taxes I am reminded of it every time I drive home.
On the corner, at one of the lights, there is a man dressed as the Statue of Liberty, holding up a sign that reminds us it's tax time.
Hot or cold, sunny or cloudy, he is out there.
What sticks in my mind about this gentleman is not the crazy costume his employer makes him wear but that every time I see him he is... dancing!
He has earphones and is just singing and dancing to whatever music he is hearing. And there is no halfway with this guy! His body is just moving and you can tell by his facial expression he is completely into it. He never stops, he is always the same.
He looks like he is having so much fun. I wish I could just go over and ask him what he is listening to that could make him seem so happy!
What is his secret? How does he keep that up?
I wonder, do people look at us and ask the same question? Are they seeing something so unusual that they want to know what it is?
Maybe if no one is asking, we need to examine ourselves.
1 Peter 3:15 tells us, "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
Be prepared, that's the easy part. But are we living in such a way that people are asking?
