Jesus Nut of the Year

I was reading the LA Times this morning when an article on the Golf Nut Society caught my attention. Here it is online They award the person who chose the most outlandish devotion to gold the Golf Nut of the Year award. It is amazing what some people do to play this game. I love the game but in the end it is just a game to me.
But it got me thinking. Suppose there was a Jesus Nut of the Year award given to the person who shows the most outlandish devotion to their Lord. Of course there would never be such a reward and even if there was the winner they would not accept because he or she would see such an award as not giving the glory to God. Setting that aside, what if???

Would you or I be in the running? Or would our attempts to not appear to fanatical or too dedicated have succeeded? Would our efforts of blend into the cultural landscape have made us so unidentifiable as a Christian. Have our efforts to be seen as people with values succeeded in camouflaging the reality that we are a people with a Lord above all else?

I don't know but it certainly makes you think!
