"I was on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean, when I saw the man on the other side of the ship. He was wearing a shirt that said 'Texas A&M'. He saw me too. I had a Texas A&M hat on. We smiled, waved at one another, and started to walk toward each other. We did this because there is a shared experience and bond between Texas A&M Aggies. We chatted for several minutes and had fun talking about our time as students. We had marked ourselves, with our clothing (and Aggie rings) as Aggies. It was a moment that would not have happened had we not recognized that we identified each other as such. The outward characteristics of being an Aggie was something we shared. Something that marked us as each being one.
"Being a disciple of Jesus should also show through in our lives (mark us), and much more deeply, in several ways. . . ."
