One of the fun parts of modern cell phones is that you can set a specific ringtone for each person you know who calls you.  So, when John calls, your phone has a special ring to let you know it's John calling.  People pick these ringtones to match the personality of the person calling.

Which means...

Each of us has a unique way of ringing in the ears of others...

So, as a Christian, what kind of ringtone would people set for you this Christmas season?  What is it you are perceived as putting out into the world?   

While you can't fully control how others perceive you, you can certainly have a great deal of influence.  

So, make the kind of noise that would make someone pick a really good ringtone for you.

 

Peace in our journeys,
