An Attitude like his . . . .



When I was a lot younger my brother was seriously into the A-Team. He loved that TV programme and had all the toys and action figures. His favourite character was BA Baracus played by Mr T. BA was a hard man and his name said it all - Bad Attitude! BA liked nothing better than tossing some 'crazy fool' over the front of a car or van.

The character, like the actor was a big softie. In fact, Mr T used his high profile to help get an important message across to kids. he was a Christian who told kids to stay away from alcohol and drugs. The scary, mohawk and gold chain wearing giant of a man might have looked like a tank on the outside but on the inside his attitude was one of a gentle giant whose love for Jesus caused him to use his fame for good.

This week in the bible study we will be looking at the attitude that we are meant to be showing as Christians. Are we meant to be proud/ aloof? Are we meant to be people who care for others? Are we people who have concern for the people we come into contact with - our neighbours, our friends, our family, our workmates?

Hopefully, we will be able to develop an attitude like His . . . . .

Mr. T basically brought me up. He was my teacher on treating my Mother right, not to do drugs, go to school...
I still have him helping me out today even. I have him as the voice on my GPS that I got from Navtones.com. They have some really cool voices, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Hopper and Gary Busey. They are all the real celebrities. Anyway, check this clip out:
