Speaking of Walmart, I stopped by there last week on the search for a specific item. I walked through the men’s department and discovered some interesting pieces of clothing in the graphic T-shirts section. On one tank was a silk screen print of a creepy-looking cat riding a surf board on bad design waves.
Alrighty, then.
Another tee I ran across stated “Of course your opinion matters, just not to me”. I feel that way at times.
But this one pictured above, caused me to stop and ponder. It brought a pause.
First, we all need Jesus. The way I see Jesus is God incarnate. I find comfort in visualizing the concept of God sending a boy/man-God to live on this earth and literally show people how to live a better life; how to make good choices and treat others with an unselfish love. Yes, we all need that kind of example.
I have certainly had moments when that statement ran through my head. I just feel like it takes a lot of chutzpah to actually to walk around with this shirt on your body.
It brings to mind a little story J-man told in the book of John in the bible. He clearly was addressing the issue of judging others. Here is a direct quote: “How can you say ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will clearly see to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Bam!
As my dear daughter-in-law says “Who are we kidding?”
I suggest that anyone audacious enough to wear this T-shirt, may also want to purchase a guide dog. That plank in your eye could make walking a bit difficult.
