So, as I said earlier, Tiffany and I have been going pretty hard and at a pretty fast pace recently and we decided that we needed a little time to spend together as a couple.  This was awesome!  Let me tell you… We just laughed together, listened to one another, held hands with one another, walked around with each other, and just spent some quality time together.  The key words in that last sentence were “one another”.  We did stuff together.  I love Tiffany so much, and it was awesome just to be able to hang out together for a little while.  We had a blast.  

We went on a couple day trips.  The first day we went to NY City.  This was great.  We’ve been talking about doing this for a long time.  Finally we did it.  We went into the city and just walked around and got lost.  I got yelled at by a cop on a horse for something I didn’t do, and we had an awesome time.  I almost met Ryan Cabrera, and then I was like, ah, who cares.  So here are a few pictures from New York.

So, here was the only annoying thing about being in NY.  People tried to sell me everything.  They wanted me to buy, bus tours, maps, T-Shirts, comedy tickets, and any other sight-seeing paraphernalia.  Here’s what bothered me though.  Do I really look that different that I stand out from the melting pot of america?  Do I talk that differently?  Do I have the deer in the headlights look or something?  

Have you ever been in a situation where you just clearly don’t belong?  What was it?  

It made me think though, this is how it should be for each one of us as Christians here on earth.  The Bible tells us that we are strangers in this place.  This is not our home.  We eternally will be in Heaven, not here on earth.  As a Christian, people should be looking at me and saying, hmm… he’s not like this world.  

Just a few observations from my trip to NY.  

Any thoughts?
