Look around on the wall of your mechanic’s shop, your tax guy, the person who cuts your hair. Depending on the business, you check into it, because the reliability of that person’s claims are important. One claims to have a master’s degree and 15yrs of experience. You might want to be sure he is who he claims to be. You go to the doctor, and he suggests you let him do surgery on you. Driver’s licenses are pretty important, so they make sure she is who she claims to be. If we could chart the importance of a person’s identity, what would it look like? For instance, a young woman at the DMV is there to get her driver’s license. It didn’t say it on His driver’s license. You could approach the book of John just by examining all 10 of the “I AM” statements: Bread of Life, Light, Good Shepherd, Way, Truth, Life, The Gate, The Resurrection and the Life, The Vine. And when someone makes claims that will affect our entire lives and our eternity, we want to be sure about that person.Īlong comes a man who makes some straightforward identity claims. If someone claims to be something, and then doesn’t offer proof, we won’t accept them. When you’re going in for brain surgery, you want to be sure that the person who’s going to work on you really is a neurosurgeon. When you take your car to a man for repairs, you want to be sure he’s a mechanic. Identity claims need to be verified: When someone comes to your door, says he’s a policeman, and asks to come in, you want to make sure he’s a policeman.
I’m happy to report I never dated any cheerleaders in high school! He was arrested, and they kicked him off the cheerleading squad. Turns out Storme was a 26yr old man running from the law. This went on for 8 days, until some students reported Storme had stubble poking through her makeup. She was singing soprano in the choir, and had even made captain of the cheerleading squad, where she performed during at least one pep rally. It was about a transfer student – a 17yr old girl named Storme Aerison. Ill – 1990, Shortly after I graduated from college, Bill Stewart sent me a copy of an article from C Springs - an AP release about Coronado High School where I went to HS. Hotels, utility companies, police all warn you: make sure that someone claiming to be an employee shows proper identification. When I go into the hospitals now, I make sure that I carry my hospital issue ID! I’ll never forget Gary’s last words before he locked me there in his office: “It’s going to get so you won’t be able to move around the hospital at all without your ID badge.” After a few more minutes, I got up, took out my trusty pocket knife, took apart the handle, and got the door open. 2 guys show up outside the door with Gary. I looked around – no other door! I was locked in! Gary said, “Hang on! I’ll get maintenance here.” A few more minutes. I got up, tried the door, and I couldn’t get it open either. There was an awkward pause as he looked inside at me. He went to open it, and nothing happened. A few minutes later, Gary appeared outside the door. I sat down and waited, impatiently because the time for the surgery kept getting closer. It’s going to get so you won’t be able to move around the hospital at all without your ID badge.” He closed the door. HIPPA regulations are pretty picky.” He led me into his little office nearby.
“Nope, just haven’t gotten around to it.” He said, “I’ll go talk to my supervisors and see what I can do. “Haven’t you gotten your clergy ID badge yet?” I looked down at my shoes. Gary Thomas, head of the chaplaincy dept. “Uh, I haven’t taken care of that yet! Sorry.” Kay Reed happened to be right there. Out of the blue, the lady asked to see my ID. I arrived at the window and asked where she was. It was getting close to the last few minutes of opportunity to visit her beforehand. Then, I showed up at Freeman for someone’s surgery. If I didn’t get my clergy ID badge made for the hospital, I’d be sorry.
