Things to do in Wal-Mart

I’ve seen a couple variations of this, but it’s still funny:

How to kill time at Wal-mart, 15 Things to do at Wal-Mart while your
spouse/partner is taking their sweet time:
1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people’s carts when they
aren’t looking.
2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.
4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, ‘Code 3’ in
housewares….. and see what happens.
5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M’s on lay away.
6. Move a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
7. Set up a tent in the
camping department and tell other shoppers you’ll invite them in if they’ll
bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask ‘Why can’t
you people just leave me alone?’
9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your
nose.
10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows
where the anti-depressants are.
11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the “Mission
Impossible”
theme.
12. In the auto department, practice your “Madonna look” using different
size funnels.
13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say “PICK ME!
PICK ME!”
14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal
position and scream “NO! NO! It’s those voices again!!!!”
And last but not least!)
15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then,
yell, very loudly, “There is no toilet paper in here!”

County boycotts gas use

WOAI in San Antonio reports:

As gas prices near the $3 mark, some communities are keeping their money away from the gas tank and boycotting one of the nation’s largest gas companies.
Bee County judge Jimmy Martinez is asking for a boycott and has pushed a major county resolution encouraging citizens of Beeville, about 90 miles Southeast of San Antonio, to not get their fuel at Exxon-Mobil stations.

This sounds like an e-mail I’ve seen floating around for a couple years now. Does he really think it will work? My favorite is people who ask for a boycott of gas on one particular date. Sure that will work – Ha. It just means people will buy more gas the day before or the day after.
And on the same topic, John Stewart talked with a reporter from the Wall Street Journal last night on current oil prices. Good interview.

Dear Friends and Family,

As I start to type this letter, I look over a letter my sister Kara wrote exactly one year ago today, preparing to go to China. To think about the changes in her, myself and our family over the last year is overwhelming. I never would have imagined the struggles our family went through in 2005 and the joys and peace that we found in knowing God and knowing He remains sovereign and in control of our lives.
It was also roughly this time last year that I began working with the Christian Wrestling Federation.
As a ring announcer and “Commissioner” for the CWF over the last year, I’ve had the privilege to be part of a ministry that is starting its sixth year of ministry this year and has witnessed over 5,000 people come to know Christ. 2005 proved to be a year of renewal for the ministry as we began to feel God working and possibly leading us to full-time ministry in 2007. The CWF hopes to bring the lost to hear the same Gospel message that’s been repeated for 2000 years, in a very unlikely setting – a wrestling ring.
It’s a message of love for all mankind and a message that we as Christians have been asked to share to our Jerusalem, our Judea and the rest of the world.
I’m excited to say that this year the CWF has been invited to take that message outside of our comfort zone and into to Jos, Nigeria. We are planning to spend the first two weeks of October in the most populous country in Africa and one of the poorest countries in the world.
We are excited to spend time ministering to the predominantly Muslim population with our CWF shows across Nigeria, as well as working with a team from Lake Point Church in Rockwall, who will lead our visits to orphanages where we will help with sports camps and medical missions.
I ask that you will join us in urgent prayer this year as we prepare for our journey. Pray that logistically things will be taken care of. I can’t begin to imagine the work that will go into securing soccer stadiums and arrangements to bring a wrestling show to Nigeria. Please pray that the people of Nigeria will see that we are just ordinary men, but that we’ve been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). Pray that they will see the difference in our lives, which only Christ can bring about. Pray that God will begin to work now in the lives of those we will meet as well as our own individual lives. Pray that each of us will be prepared to share the hope we have whenever we are called upon.
I would also ask that you pray about giving financially to our trip. You can contribute directly to my account, or make a donation to the entire group.
If you feel led to support us financially, you may give a one-time gift or make monthly payments between now and October. A small thank you reminder and a self-addressed stamped envelope will be sent monthly, if you so choose.
Thank you for your time and may God continue to shine His face upon you.
In Christ,
Jonathan Blundell
