Soft...

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!
