People of Wal-mart

No, this post will not be about that absurdly hilarious website, but it is people and Wal-mart related.

Rebeka, Caroline, and I just happened to be in that discount giant over the weekend.  I had some grocery shopping to do and the girls, well, they had some hanging out/goofing off to do.  Between the three of us we did happen to see some individuals worthy of having their pictures posted on the website (I just shake my head and wonder what goes through their mind as they're getting dressed and ready to head to the store. Oh, my.)

But I digress.  While I was shopping and couponing and sticking to my list, I saw someone we knew and thought highly of.  When this individual rounded the corner and recognized me they quickly whirled their cart around and left the aisle I was on, but not before I saw the contents of their cart.  My heart plummeted and my super critical spirit kicked in. 

Then I felt this little nudge from the Holy Spirit.  The contents of this person's cart were on display for all to see.  What if the contents of my thoughts and attitude and heart were on public display as well?  Would others be appalled and disappointed at what they see?  Some of us display our sins openly and others hide them away in our innermost being.  It was one of those speck and log moments.  Conviction on the cereal aisle at Wal-mart.  Who knew?

I am envisioning a whole series of posts now, "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in WalMart." Hee, hee, hee.
