What do wally-world and hell have in common

From the blog entry of the pastor of Destiny church: The Great Tribulation spoken of in scripture and Wal-Mart this time of year have something in common; they will bring out the best or worst in someone. The half hour in the supercenter parking lot made me thankful that I was a believer as surely Hell must be something akin to this. There's a reason people like me "DO" most of their shopping online and "DON'T" have Christian bumper stickers… :-)

 

We had crazy weather here in Oklahoma Sunday and Monday (and Tuesday too they say) and I can tell you, he is right.  But for every bad person I met many good.  Being a pallet mule (our name for the receiving people who unload the truck and haul the stuff out to the floor), I can tell you I have seen my share of people stop in front of me and think nothing of it.  Not something you want to do in front of a guy hauling two tons of dog food behind you. 

But I have also seen my share of people that step out of the way quickly and smile as I move by, as if to say thanks for bringing the stuff out here.  And the total strangers that when a small box drops will go out of there way to pick it up for me.

Pastor Mike, you have spoken at Grace and few times since I joined and was my sons youth pastor.  I love you, but maybe you need to look at the good sometimes.  That being said, yes, you nailed it on the parking lot!
