There are still some good Cowboys left in the world!

Tony Romo made one man very happy, and it had nothing to do with throwing touchdowns.  The Dallas Morning News reported on Wednesday that the Cowboys quarterback took a homeless man to the movies recently.

The man, who goes by Doc, was outside a theater in in Dallas when a man came up and offered to pay his way to see a movie. Planning on passing out fliers for a consignment store across the street, Doc declined. But then he realized that he had just turned down Romo.

He ran across the street, asked for the day off and ran back to the theater. Romo and Doc ended up sitting together watching the movie "Role Model." Doc told the newspaper that he informed Romo that he hadn't showered in days.

"Don't worry about that," Romo said, according to the newspaper. "I'm used to locker rooms."

Romo reportedly also changed the tire of a couple on the way home the night of the season opener and showed up to a high school pep rally with actor Will Smith earlier this week. He confirmed the encounter with Doc but wouldn't elaborate.

This latest gesture really impressed Doc.

"For me, it was a blessing," Doc said. "It came at just the right time. It gave me some encouragement and faith in mankind. I just wanted to say thank you."

Would the Real You Please Show Itself?

Question:

(Pastor J.) i have another problem

You see i lied to my girlfriend....it wasnt big and bad just a smal insignificant lie....but she found out (i said i dont swear much, but i do) i asked her is it so wrong that i lied to get you to like me...........and she said that it wasnt the lie it was that you lied............ this is what she said.

i wasnt mad at you. i was just kinda upset at the fact that you said you were probalbly the nicest guy i would meet and you barely cursed. i thought that was awesome. and u made me smile. im not like other girls. i dont hang out with the cool crowd. i dont follow the hurd. im my own person. i dont care if no one likes me or if they all love me. i will not change or lie just to make someone like me. i understand where your coming from, and i feel horrible just thinking about the stuff you've been through, but dont let that hold you back or change who you really are. dont let it make you soft or too hard. be you. Thats the reason i was upset, because i thought u WERE different from other guys. but then you lied to me and seemed to be just like all the others..

Sometimes my mom tells me she can see the hurt in my eyes. even when im smileing. she tells me they look like pools of sadness drowning me, and pooling me further into the dark. she tells me thats why im losing my friends. thats why my grades drop. thats why my heart still aches. all because i gave up. i dont wanna see the same happen to you. your only a Sophmore. im about to head out into the real world and fight some more. ima give it every last inch of me, my energy, my heart and soul.

Response:

Wow... I get you brother and I believe that part of you (deep down in the core of who you are) is who she is looking for and who you told her you were.  And then... there's the part that has been shaped by the circumstances of life and of your own personal decisions.  Sounds like she has both of those sides as well.  The "I am who I am" side and then the side that isn't "hard" but maybe a little more on the "emo" side!  ANY emotional state of our outward self certainly reflects the spiritual state of our inward self!  Where we are or aren't with Jesus?

John 16:33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (Jesus Speaking)

Pastor advice ~ Jesus shows us who we really are... he connects us with the core of how and who we were created to BE!  It's the only real true way to be who we were meant to be.  Funny thing is... it ends up being something/someone far beyond who we ever thought possible (speaking of one's own self).  It's like... seriously God, you created me to be this!?!?!?  It's more than I ever thought I could be!

Lies affect trust... TRUST is what all relationships revolve around!  Don't just be you and I encourage her to not just be who "she" thinks she is.  Get deeper with Jesus and he will reveal to you who you were made to be!  Dude, when a young man does that for real... girls can't help but be overwhelmed by what God does!

Seek First!
