well, would you?










Would you let Ray Rice ride in the elevator with your wife?  Would you eat rice with a guy named Ray?  Would you let Adrian Peterson baby sit your kids?  Would you let Michelle Obama cater your kids party?  Would you take a check from Bernie Madoff?  Would you pass go and not collect your $200?  Would you let your daughter date someone who drove a Prius?  Would you let her date someone who rode a Harley?  Would you let your son?  Would you let her date someone who wears a Speedo?  Would you eat at Burger King just to have it your way?  Would you slow down and yield if the light turned yellow?  Would you come to a complete stop if a cop car was in back of you?  Would you recommend a donut shop just because the police frequent it?  Would you FIB to the FBI?  Would you admit to watching CNN?  Would you show your birth certificate if asked?  Would you not vote for someone based on one issue, although you agreed with them on all the rest?  Would you vote your conscience or your party line?  Would you go on a blind date if the other person was blind?  Would you read Playboy just for the articles?  Would you buy a GM car because of their quality reputation?  Would you buy a Chrysler because are truly an American import?  Would you know your wife’s phone number if asked without hitting her name on your i-pod?  Would you give Stephen Jobs a job?  Would you trust Bill Gates to show you the pearly gates? 
Would you trust a religion that has Jesus Christ in its name, but doesn’t believe he is God?  If he sneezed, would you say “God bless you?”  Would you join a car pool just because the Unsers were part of it?  Would you sell your Prius if they lived next door to you?  If you can’t go fast, would you prefer to at least be loud?  Would you rather push a Harley than ride a Honda?  Or drive one?  Would you buy a Chevy from a man named Ford?  Would you see the USA in it?  Would you rather your car or your home be mobile?  Would you rather have a frontal lobotomy or a bottle in front of me?  Would you go to a bald barber?  Would you go to a dentist who wears braces?  Would you shake hands with your doctor after he sneezed into his hands?  Would you drink Tang because the astronauts do?  Would you drive a Volvo because you think they are safe?  Would you rather be handsome and poor, or ugly and rich?  Would you buy something just because the internet said it was true?  Would you lie to your diary?  Would we know if you did?  If you grew up in Philadelphia, would you be a Phillie fan or an Athletic supporter?  Would you look for the other half of the worm in the apple?  Would you eat it if you didn’t find it? 
Would you rather know your future or your wife’s past?  Would you tear the tag off a new mattress?  Would you report your spouse if they did?  Would you tell Joe Friday “just the facts?”  If you came to the fork in the road, would you take it?  If you had a date with that special girl, and she was wearing a dress, and you were on your bike, would you go and get your car?  Would you ask her to change?  Would you date a girl who doesn’t ride?  Would you marry one?  Would you lie on your income tax?  Would you wife come visit you or join you if you did?  Would you give up your cell phone for 30 days for a $1000?  Would you carpool in a trash truck?  Would you pay your dues just to sing the blues?  Would you laugh at a joke at a funeral?  Would you let Stevie Wonder decorate your house?  Would you eat at McDonald’s and admit to loving it?  Would you wear clean underwear just in case you had an accident?  Would you rather take a vacation or a staycation?  Would you take your wife with you if you stayed home?  Would you rather get good grades or learn something at school?  Would you brag about how humble you are?  Would you want patience right now?  Would you tell Vanna White if she spelled a word wrong?  Would you answer Alex Trebec in the form of a question?  Would you rather have parents who were poor but loved you, or who were rich and didn’t care? Would you rather be the nicest house in a bad neighborhood or the worst house in a nice one?  Would you fly on an airline who had great stewardesses and lousy landing records?  Would you rent a car from Avis because they try harder?  Would you rather have your cake and eat it too?  Would you over tip a bad waitress because she is poor and needy?  Would you over tip if she was pretty and the service was lousy?  Would you write penmanship with a pencil?  Would you stop for a biker broken down?  Would you let him ride you home if you were broken down?  Would you let him ride your wife home?  Would she let you let his wife ride you home?  Would you admit you only ride a scooter?  Would you trust Yelp! to cater your wedding?  Would you trust a vegan to cook your steak?  Would you share a hot dog lunch with Anthony Weiner?  Would you trust someone who doesn’t eat S’mores?  Would you ride a motorcycle without a helmet?  Drive with the kid next door who just go this license without one?   Would you admit you were wrong even if you weren’t to go on vacation?
Would you know where your Bible is if asked?  Would you be able to find it if we did?  Would you go to church just to date a pretty girl?  A handsome guy?  Would you leave a church if the pastor lied, and he knew that you knew he did?  Would you go to heaven sadly or happily to hell?  Would you believe a man if he said he was Jesus?  Would you follow him if it allowed you to sin?  Would you ask forgiveness if you hurt someone?  Would you forgive someone who hurt you badly?  Would you forgive them if they crashed your bike?  Would you still read your Bible if they became illegal?  Would you rather be known as a bold Christian or a quiet atheist?  Would you help the good Samaritan?  Would you trust God if he was only a feeling?  Would you give your heart to Jesus just to join a church?  Would you ask him into your life if it meant losing all your friends?  Would you bet your life he isn’t coming back?  Would you follow a poll on how on how to live or the Bible?  Would you trust Oprah because she gives good advice, even if it goes against scripture?  Would you believe God is dead, but Elvis is alive?  What would it take to convince you that Jesus is who he says he is?  Would you ask him into your heart right now if asked?  Would you come back to him if you have fallen away?  Would you rather go to heaven than go to hell?  Would you pick Jesus for your kickball team?  Your fantasy football league?  If you were given 24 hours to live, would you choose Jesus now?  Would you rather party in hell than serve in heaven?  Would you put off the most important decision of your life till tomorrow?  Would you gamble that tomorrow is promised to you?  Would you accept Jesus right now,and be assured of eternal life?  Well, would you?
love with compassion,
