Identity

In the early 80's a mini-series was produced called, "The Winds of War." I and several sailors were chosen to be a part of the Pearl Harbor attack. We traveled by bus to Long Island, California. On site they put us in costume and told us where to stand. Some had officer's clothes on, some regular sailors. I witnessed a transformation right before my eyes. Those that had put on officer's clothes took a superior role.

I think about that when I consider identity. As a young boy I didn't have an identity and worked hard to get one. I never liked what I came up with. Then someone introduced me to Jesus. From that point on I knew who I was and whose I was. I am secure in that.
