When you're a new Christian like me and still learning about everything, you look at people and wonder if they've let Jesus into their heart or not. I also catch myself judging whether someone is a Christian by their appearance, their friends and how they act overall. It's just as wrong as plain judging someone.
Hot Chelle Rae has been my favorite band since right before they were big and famous. Ian Keaggy is a guitarist for the band and I have always said (jokingly of course) that he is my husband. I've seen them twice in concert. Once in Columbus, Ohio where I saw Ian walking down the street and screamed like a little school girl, I tweeted him saying sorry and he retweeted me saying It's all good ;) I also saw them at Universal Studios Orlando when I worked at Disney. They'll probably always be my favorite because I have their autographs and I love their music.
Now back to wrongly judging people. Ian, and the rest of HCR for that matter, because of their music, lifestyle, and persona on social media I would have never tagged any of them as Christians and I was wrong and I am sorry for wrongly judging someone. Even though I don't know them in real life, it still counts. Now it's not impossible to change! Maybe all of them aren't Christians but I am so happy (as an avid fan) to see that Ian Keaggy is a Christian and putting it out for the world to see. He's a Christian with a heavy rocker image.
I was home in bed sick all weekend with bronchitis and not only did Ian's tweet prove he was a Christian but it also meant he felt pretty much like me this weekend.
So don't judge a person by their rocker shell. Especially if they're a celebrity you don't know in real life. =] But honestly everyone has a story and then they have their story of being reborn. Their appearance may not match both stories. Don't judge, just be a friend.
