s/o finding jesus

2 things: When I was 18 a stranger told me I would have "beautiful jesus babies"

For some reason the memory stuck with me, but in the last few months I had forgotten it. 

I was in Panera the other day and someone walked up to me and said the SAME THING. 

 

Also, FI's cousin has asked several more times (not directly to us, since we shut him down) if he can marry us. We keep getting word from people going "You don't believe what Cousin said..."

Re: s/o finding jesus

  • You know, being a reformed Yankee myself, nothing gets under my skin faster than people who move to the south, then complain about it being different from living up north.  And I do love it here--the natural beauty, the mild climate, the low taxes, the warm and friendly people, the cheap housing.

    But I have never gotten used to all of the evangelism here.  In Chicago, the closest I ever got was seeing coworkers with smudged foreheads and thinking, "Oh, it must be Ash Wednesday."  Here, coworkers will invite you to lunch and then try to make you hold hands and pray before digging into your Fuji apple chicken salad, or make random Praise Jesus comments when you're just heating up your lunch, or whatever.

    So I am no longer surprised that a random stranger would say this to you, not once, but on two separate occasions.

  • Heffa, this made me laugh.

    I say grace to myself when I'm having lunch with coworkers or people that I know don't always share my beliefs, but I do love a group prayer.

  • LOL!!!  I'm crying over here.

    And now I know what to say in any awkward moment with a stranger from now on.
