Being Authentic

Met one of my friends from Sunday School in Wal-Mart yesterday. I really appreciate being who I am and not having to conform to an artificial image pressure to be "nice" and acceptable. I am reminded of the Crystal Lewis song, "Come Just As You Are." We don't have to "clean up" our act to come before God. I am challenged to be model God's kind of hospitality. How can I be so that others can be themselves also.
