Tonight, I met an individual and his wife in the parking lot, as I was about to go for a ride. He asked me if my bike was a "soft tail?" In reality it is, as it has a swing arm, shocks, and therefore a suspension. Not a rigid axle, tied to the frame...
Now, I realize that this was an introduction. A way to engage in a conversation. And I was quickly asked if I believed in Jesus Christ. I truly love these types of discussions! It allows me to express my faith, while challenging those that ask about it!
He queried me on how many "coats" did Joseph wear... I replied "only one!" He asked me if I was sure. I said yes. The conversation continued and I was reminded of the biblical references in Hebrews, Romans, and Matthew, regarding Joseph and his 'coat of many colors.' A total of four is mentioned, if anyone is interested.
I am not a chapter and verse type of person. I can not pull up a verse, nor quote it, at a moments notice. However, I believe that I am exemplifying the message.
The conversation quickly ended when he noticed the tattoo on my left arm. As we shook hands, I said to him, "I still stand by my answer, he only wore one coat." This gentleman, and his wife, looked at me like I was from a different planet.
I then began...
A few minutes later, as they walked away... I know I gave them something to think about.
There is a difference!
