Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers

Do clothes really make the man? I was shopping in Wal-Mart the other day and a man stopped me and asked “do you work here?” I said "no" and he said “you look like you do”. What does that mean? Does everyone who wears a blue shirt and khaki pants look like they work at Wal-Mart?

Don’t get me wrong, I think working at Wal-Mart is an honorable thing. I wish my wife and daughter felt the same!

It was an eye opening experience. People do look at how we are dressed. You can say “it doesn't matter what I wear” but you know deep down that it does. Yesterday I wore a tie to the hospital and I received a lot more information and respect from the staff there. It also makes me feel better about my self when I dress up. (I guess that is a self -esteem issue to be discussed later.)

So ...
Dress nice, feel nice.
Dress in blue ... works at Wal-Mart!

Getting Older

Well, my daughter turned 24 this week and my brother 49. Talk about feeling old! I remember when both were born!

This morning I went to the restroom at work and didn’t have to unzip my pants! They have been unzipped all day! But what makes me feel old is that I was glad that I didn’t have to go through that extra step before I did what I came in to do!

We’re headed to Pastors' camp with our church kids this afternoon. I am sure there will be other reminders of age while we are there.
Pray for me.
