Megan's prayer: Steven Curtis Chapman's "The Walk"

My friend once told me about a game he liked to play with his cousin. It was called "Would you be my friend if I walked like this?" and then he would start doing a crazy walk. The object of the game would be to do something so embarrassing that the other person playing would say "no" because they would be too embarrassed to be your friend.

You know it all comes down to the walk

While I realize the game was just supposed to be funny, when I thought about it tonight, I realized how much it related to my life. Clearly in the game, nothing is changing about the person doing the "walk" except for the way they move. They are still the exact same person with the same feelings and the same characteristics. But, one physical difference, and people become too embarrassed to be their friend. How often do I do this in my own life? How often do I let one little oddity get in the way of being friends with someone? Probably too often.

My goal is to be more accepting, to be more loving, and to not let my ability to be close to someone come down to such a silly and small characteristic.
