Absolutely famous
I feel like a celebrity. And not in the good kind of way. I realized something yesterday. I’m really famous. There are a lot of people who know who I am and what I look like but rarely do I know them.
Take yesterday. I had a typical meeting with a new student, telling them about small groups. I walked into the diner, and her recognizes me right off the bad. Without missing a beat, I say hello back to him. But had he not said hi, I would have just walked on my merry way.
I think the difference between me and a celebrity is that I still want to know everyone that knows me. But it just feels weird walking around campus, and someone from across the mall yells, “Hey Mike! HI!” and I just wave back, without any clue who this person is. It troubles me!
I realize that this is just a side effect of having my name and picture plastered everywhere. Of course people are going to recognize me. My face is all over the place.
I’ve prayed that I’m not just the face of MCF…but the face of what MCF stands for. It’s a subtle, yet important, distinction that I have to make because should I lose my faith or quit or move on from MCF, I would hope that these same people who recognize me would see that MCF is bigger than me.
GOD is bigger than the air I breathe
The world we’ll leave
God will save the day and will say…
