So, THAT'S What John Would Do...

No, no. You're on to something. I bet he'd be preaching in the parking lots. Not interrupting the business (which would be a pretty un-christian thing to do, I think - I mean, it's not like it's porn...heh, read the note below...). Anyway, Wesley didn't go INTO the mines to preach sermons (maybe to minister, don't remember that one from Church history) but he went to the fields near the mines to preach to the miners - and then in the open air all over the place when churches wouldn't let him in. I know he went to prisons to minister to prisoners - not sure where else he went - but that was less preaching and more doing...

Man, now I can't wait for the new Walmart to open. I can see it now... :)














**** I forgot to add this note yesterday when I posted this: Someday I'll take a picture of it, but in Brookville, PA (at the exit right off I-80) there's an adult bookstore (heh - the PC name for a porn shop) and right in front of it someone (an individual or a church, I don't remember which) put up an anti-porn billboard right out front... I'm kind of okay with that. I'd like to think that the pastor was talking to the owner, though... I remember a book store that used to sell porn and the owner came to saving faith in Christ and he turned it into a Christian book store...

**** and, since I'm on this subject - I can't find the source but a friend was at a semiar (for men) and the speaker just kept hammering the point that that woman you're oogling is "someone's little girl" and that really hit home to me (since I have two little girls of my own) and has really helped me shut out some unwanted mental moments... And then I saw something yesterday at Post Secret (thanks a lot emergingminister.com...) http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/ it's the very first postcard this week (I don't want the image on my blog so you gotta go there before Monday) and shuddered with horror...but I know it probably happens...
