Jesus at Wal-Mart

The other day my sister (Danna) and I were in Wal-Mart and you’ll never guess who we saw. Standing there bigger than life, and asking the clerk where to find something, was Jesus. I swear!! I looked at Danna, and she looked at me and we both looked at Jesus. He looked just like you would expect (I could kick myself for not pulling my cell phone out and taking a picture.) He had the long dark brown hair, and a little facial hair. He wore a gauzy white tunic and loose trousers, with sandals. He even wore a necklace of wooden beads and twine. I said, “Look Danna, it’s Jesus!!”

I went up to the clerk after he walked off and asked her if she felt honored to have Jesus shopping at her store. She laughed.

What would Jesus go to Wal-Mart for? They do have a lot of religious stuff there, books, jewerly and pictures. I don’t think they have holy water, but I guess any water Jesus touches would become holy so that probably isn’t something he needs to buy. I guess he could be there for a few loves and fishes. Maybe he wanted a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul, probably not. He was heading for the seasonal area, so maybe he was looking for some St Patrick’s Day or Easter decorations. Maybe he helps the Easter bunny out every year stuffing eggs. Do you think he would wear the ears and act goofy?

I wonder what other stores he shops at. Do you think he visits Target too, and how about K-Mart? Would he go to the high-end stores like Nordstrom’s or Saks? Does he shop local and visit the Farmers Market?

We thought about following him, but we had to get going, so we’ll never know what he bought. The next time you’re in Wal-Mart keep an eye of the Savior, you just never know when he’s show up. He’s kind of like the Spanish Inquisition, no one ever expects it. LOL

IKEA trip

Today my sister and I went to IKEA. I love that store, but let’s face it, it’s a bit of an endurance contest, and the Lord help everyone if a fire breaks out. We’ll never be able to find the way out. The parking is always a circus, but it’s all a great adventure.

I love IKEA because you can find just about anything! I looked at cereal bowls, kitchen rugs, batteries, whisks, pots and pan, bathroom cabinets and sinks. Of course there were a lot of other things to see as well. The kitchen section is really interesting. There are thing there I have no idea what they are for. Frankly some of them look more like torture devices then cooking utensils. In the home organizations section, they have about a million little baskets and bins in hundreds of styles and shapes. Of course when I go looking for something in that section, they don’t have what I think I need. It’s also evitable that you will find something you never thought about and now simply must have!! I actually bought the pots and pans, whisks, and cinnamon rolls.

We also had lunch, the Swedish meatballs, Yum!!

My main goal was to find ideas for remodeling my bathroom. This is not the first bathroom I’ve remodeled. The last time I also had a half bath in the house so no one was left stranded. In this house I only the one bathroom. I’m really working on keeping me relationship with my neighbors in a good place. I’m also counting on the fact that I introduced hi to his girlfriend, and that I’ve feed him a few meals.

It was a little hard leaving IKEA today, even thought our dog were barking. (They need a few rest areas set up along the track.) As we walked out onto the loading area, we had quite a view. Lots of muscles, tall, and just generally hunky. IKEA should put him on a calendar.
