“How I Really Am”

On January 27, 2019 by Dteb With 0 Comments - down to earth believer


“How are you today?” asked the young people behind the desk at Planet Fitness.

And, without thinking, I replied with a standard “I am fine.”  Then I added, “Don’t you get tired of asking the same question, and getting the same old answers?  I’ll try to come up with something better.”

I then took about ten steps toward the locker room, and stopped dead.  Wait a minute!  The pastor had challenged us this morning to be bold in our testimony for Jesus.

So, I went back to the desk, and said, “Okay!  Ask me again how I am!”

The young man behind the counter obliged.  (I think the young ladies were a little afraid of what I might say.)

“I am wonderfully blessed, and madly in love with Jesus!” I replied.  “And madly in love with my wife!” I added.

I need to think of more creative ways to deal with simple, routine questions.  But even more, I need to live a consistent, kind, and holy life.  The folks at Planet Fitness will be watching.  And, of course, so will God.

But this one time, I was bold.  Who knows?  I might get in the habit of doing this sort of thing.
