at my neighborhood grocery store. "mom, that chicken costs twice
as much as at walmart." i know, but walmart's garish flourescent
lighting, the hard floors, loud noises, and crowds of people are
such an assault.

monday, however, i mustered my courage to make the thanksgiving
supply run at the local walmart. shelby would have been so proud
of my great attitude. "this will be fun. there will be so many good
deals, etc."
but, 20 steps into the store and i felt like everyone was yelling at
me, the lights hurt my eyes, i couldn't find the stuffing, and my
head was pounding. i
who said, "well, it's our church singer. yvonne would be so glad
to see you! she just thinks you're . . ."
i immediately thought of sonja's post on the dangers of putting
Christian bumper stickers on our cars. people expect us to act like
Christians, if our cars are saved. :) well, the same is true of
sunday singers. people expect us to be as cheerful on monday,
even at walmart.
speaking of cars, when i approached mine, i saw that the front left
tire had been shredded.
are you kidding me?
love,
lea
