A DODGE MOTORCYCLE

There. You can see

it with your own

eyes. A "DODGE"

motorcycle.

This belongs to a

friend so I knew

where to look for it.

I've ridden a lot

of miles with him and that old motorcycle. NO,

not on it with him. I was on whatever motorcycle

I was riding that day.

Here is more proof.

The name plate on

the right side of the

motorcycle.

Now if you believe

this, it proves two

things.

l. You do not know anything about motorcycles.

That's O.K. No hard feelings.

2. You are very easily deceived.

Things simply are not always what they appear

to be.

Kinda reminds me of a fellow I used to be

acquainted with. When I got acquainted with him,

we were both lonely guys. Our wives had dumped

us. They were a lot smarter than us. Had to have

been. Why else would they have left us?

Now he had a going business in a neighboring

community. And he drove a new American made

luxury car. One of the best. I didn't have either.

Some times we would be setting together in

Church. He had a way of putting in his offering

so every one could see the size of his donation.

Yep. It was about twice the size of mine.

He invited me over to his place to see his new

indoor pool. I don't think I ever told him where

I lived. It would not begin to compare.

We both got married within about a week of each

other. And yes, it just happened that our wives

were acquainted with each other.

Just about the time he returned his "luxury"

vehicle, to the dealership I worked for - so they

would not have to repossess it. I found out by way

of the "wifevine" that he did not have any money

after all. It was all a big show. I had always

suspected that his "new" wife was attracted by his

flamboyant ways. When she dumped him real

quick for someone else, I was even more suspicious

of it.

Things are not always what they appear to be.

Even The Book says, "Some people pretend to

be rich, but have nothing. Others pretend to be

poor, but own a fortune."

The next time you see some one who is pretending

to be;

• Rich
• Smart
• Strong
• Informed
• Spiritual
• Gifted
• etc.

just remember, they may not be a bit ahead of

you and me. Maybe even behind us.

Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage. And

the people on it are actors."

If he did not say it, he should have.

We may fool others. But we sure don't fool God.
