What's In Your Wallet?

People will steal anything! If they feel it has any value whatsoever they will lift it!

Kids are the worlds greatest, and most innoncent thieves. I worked for an athletic retailer, and a baby took some shoes off of our displays on the back wall. He quietly placed them in the cargo net beneath his stroller, and felt like it was all good. He saw mom and dad to it all the time. He was probably 18 or 19 months old, it was hilarious!

Then one day while I was playing basketball at the park, a little fella walked over and picked up my keys. He was about the same age but was Hispanic, so I said "Como esta usted?" For my non-Spanish speaking friends I asked him how he was doing. He just grinned from ear to ear, and continued to walk away with my keys. His dad said in Spanish that he was sorry, and I told him that it was no problem.

No theft has been more adored than when my daughter gets me though! She is learning from the master - her mother! I know what's mine is her's and what's her's is her's, but come on now! A brother has to have a little pocket change. My pop (dad) would say to my daughter, "Hey little girl where's my money?" She didn't know what to say to him at 2, but at 4 she would say, "Oh I got your money!"

Better yet it is even funnier when I pull out my wallet. I lay it down to play ball, or sit it down for whatever reason, and usually get two responses:

1. Man how much money is in there!?
2. That is the thickest wallet that I have ever seen!

For those that see me open it, they just leave it alone. I show everyone that it's a Bible, and no one bothers it. Seriously, I could a couple of C-Notes throughout that little pocket Bible, and leave it on a park bench and a Christian will call out to me, and give it back. I leave it on the same park bench and a non-Christian will either call out and tell me that I have forgotten my little book, or treat it like it's Kryptonite to their Superman!

So when I see the commercials that ask the question, "What's in your wallet?" I can't help but smile! Because without being born-again you have no idea what awesome goodness is truly in my wallet!
