Do the Dew

So, I'm on my way to Charlotte Temple today, to pick up my lovely bride. And as I'm travelling down a fairly busy South Blvd. when I see a Mountain Dew van just a little ahead of me, waiting to pull out onto the road. You know the one . . . white van, Mountain Dew logo painted in trademark green on the top rear corner, big funny looking "look-behind-me" mirror attached by a metal arm that's been bent 8 or 9 different times.

Anyway, for some reason, I get excited . . . until I saw the driver. It was your average middle-aged looking guy, just like everybody else. I was TOTALLY expecting, for some insane reason to see Steven Segal.

Now, I've never seen, nor have I ever heard of Steven Segal driving a Mountain Dew delivery van. I'm sure he could, based on his acting merit alone. I reasoned that it must be because of his new MD commercial. I realize this is a stupid story.

In summary, I saw a van marked with MD motif, and identified that with Mr. Segal.

Then I got to thinking . . . .

I wonder how many people look at me and expect to see Christ and are disappointed to see a "Christian" that is to Christianity as Steven Segal is to acting. I wonder how many of them see my markings from a distance and are disappointed when they get a little closer and realize that I'm not Jesus.

Grace. Do the Jew.
