BEHIND THE MASK

New Orleans and Mardi Gras masks abound this week in the Crescent City. In 2013 maybe masks from  Sponge Bob to Abraham Lincoln. In old silent movies the robbers wore masks. Some still do today.The obvious point..hide their true identity. Most ou us put them away shortly. Then some DO NOT.It's those who can be most troubling. ..and even cleverly disarming. .. as most of us again feel most of us present the face really behind the mask.  When in doubt, talk with the Lord, and find our who is BEHIND THE MASK.
