Have you ever done something stupid in the name of curiosity?  Recently I was borrowing a shower at a friend's house that has small children and my attention was grabbed by the new Johnson's Baby Shampoo packaging.  For some reason I zeroed in on the "No More Tears" label and almost without thinking, I set forth to see if it really was "as gentle to eyes as pure water". 

I got my hair good and wet, lathered up nice and thick, and then, without much further thought, opened my eyes and let the foam run right down into them.

Fortunately, the labeling on the bottle was as accurate as could be.  As crazy as it sounds, the shampoo cause no noticable irritation to my eyes.  Satisfied that my hypothesis was now proven however, I began to ponder what I later realized was the real lesson from this little experiment…

Are we, as those who label themselves "Christians", as forthright in our own labeling?  Can others count on us to be as gentle and tender as the One whose name we so proudly bear?  Please, share your thoughts with me!

And, by the way, feel free to try this on your own.  That fresh baby smell alone is worth it.  =)
