But do agree with you..."waiting in lines" most likely is a huge "bummer", "agitator" for many people. Daily Traffic I would say is the "worst"... yikes.
I read some random facts to know... a few years back... apparently people spend 7 years of their lives waiting in lines... LOL... I too organize my affairs so that I do not have to wait in lines... and now that I have chosen not to get vaccinated... my waiting time in lines has been cut by about 95%.

Agree with the "waiting thing"...good for you.

And "imagine that", to be Pointed out, BECAUSE, you do not ask the government IF it is okay for you to exercise your God given Rights.... LOL. Bravo!

Today is our Canadian federal election... It will be interesting to see what happens here in the next months... If PC government gets in... there is a chance that the mandatory vaccinations will be reversed... but I am not holding my breath.

Anyways... here I go again... OFF TOPIC... BAD ADDY!!!!!!!!!!

One thing that I had been contemplating is finding some new inexpensive books for children about Jesus. Take a few with me when I have to do that dreaded shopping thing.
I regularly see little children being pushed about in a buggy, whining, fussing, and thought, If I had a few books with me, I could ask the parent if it would be okay to give their child a book to look at while they shop.
I had checked into some bulk buying ....and did find, some reasonable options, for example, 60 soft cover books for kids, about Jesus, for about $ 75.00. Haven't ordered any yet, but personally like the idea. Ofcourse the parent can refuse or perhaps take the suggestion they could read it to their child later.
Just a thought to share.

Salvation has come...and His Name is Jesus.

For lack of better words, it's a marketing tool, a revealing, that sparks an interest in people of all ages, all walks of life, that is an effective common theme geared toward people; who are naturally curious and inquisitive.

An announcement of a thing...
What the thing is...
What the thing can do...
and how to get it!

From toys, to tools, to equipment, to radios, to phones, to vehicles, to homes, to computers, to internet, to drugs, to cures, to gadgets, to miracles ... people are naturally curious to lend an ear....

The "success" of the "thing" in any "era"...
IS the "testimony" of People "who";
Have the "thing", and "testify" of "how good, worthy, helpful, successful" the thing has been for them....or not.

Glory to God,
Taken
Salvation has come...and His Name is Jesus.
Everyone take heed to this first line that taken has brought us . ITS SOLID TRUTH . FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN
whereby one may be saved .
Beware , however , that if one is not leading folks to the BIBLICAL JESUS , then not only will they be damned who do such a thing
but all who sit and heed this other jesus will be damned with them .
AND THAT TOO IS A VERY SOLID TRUTH . So let us all be encouraged today to get in our bibles and let none take off from
heeding that sound pure and holy doctrine . WONDERFUL TRUTH TAKEN , i just wanted to make the other part real clear .
For many come preaching another jesus , another love not compatible with the GOD of the bible , NOR HIS CHRIST
nor the apostels who knew that Christ . IF i have spoken error let any man woman and child show me my error through the scripture .
I PREACH LOVE my friends . ITS WHY I POINT only to THE BIBLICAL VERSION OF JESUS , the words of HIM , OF GOD and of the apostels .
Cause no other version is gonna save anyone .

Be encouraged Addy , this is a very good way to evangelize , but always remember its not the ONLY way .
Save some through compassion and others through fear , hating even the garment spotted by the flesh .
Let each point to JESUS how they are led to do so . And let others pray for those who are willing to DO SO . That all can partake
in the fruits .

Thank you. God inspires :)
There are also companies that sell in bulk inexpensively little pin on buttons, stickers, with Christian religious messages...."Jesus is my Friend", etc.

With a bulk supply, easy to wear one, easy to get a fussy kids attention and say if it's okay with mommy, I would like to give you my button for it to be yours...or a sticker.

Really, so many little things, gestures that can spark a complete strangers interest for a moment of their time and a lasting good outcome.

The stroller comment, reminds me of my youngest daughter starting kindergarden, was supposed to walk 2 blocks with her older brother and sister. After two days, she said her little legs got too tired to walk that far. She went to the storage closet and took out a "foldup umbrella looking stroller" and asked if I would walk her to and from school while she rode in that stroller....LOL...Not at all embarrassed, seriously right to the door... LOL

What a precious story....

There are only two people in my house... My wife and I. I have to wait for the bathroom. But I'm on my own. Can you have lines of 1?
