This Man is a Fool

My roommate Wayne talks about Jesus a lot more than me. He wrote this poem that I have heard a few times where he has all the biblical names of Jesus with their meanings. Whenever he reads that, I am tempted to snicker at his sincerity. He's a fool. But he's a fool for the right things. Well, a lot of times anyway.

I'm not that kind of guy. I'm not that excited about Jesus. I was walking around in the park last night and it struck me that the person in my life who is most consistently excited about Jesus is Wayne. In a lot of ways I see him like my little brother, but in this way he is the teacher and I am the student. I envy his passion for the Lord.
