Humorous

Today I went into my local Christian Books and Trinkets Store.

I was looking for a book entitled, The Missional Leader by Alan Roxburgh, Fred Romanuk, and Eddie Gibbs.

I was not surprised by the fact that they did not have it. I was not shocked by the fact that they could "order it and it should be here in 10-14 work days." (translated...it will be here when it arrives.)

While there my eye caught a shadowy black suited figure perusing the shelves. My first thought was that someone from Best Buy's "geek squad" was looking for a book.

Upon closer examination, it was a Mormon missionary. I knew that where there was one, there was another close by. Sure enough another black suited figure appeared and joined the search for a book.

Let me stop right here and ask, "am I the only one that thinks that it's strange that a Mormon missionary would be shopping in a Christian bookstore?" I am not here to argue whether or not Mormons are christians or not. I am not even here to try to figure out what the Mormons were doing in the Christian bookstore.

What I am saying is that it just struck me as being funny.

Then a thought hit me. Would I ever go into a Mormon Bookstore and Trinket Shop?

Curiosity may take me inside, but it would require something of substance to keep me there.

Today a pair of Mormon missionaries gave me pause to stop and think.

Oh, by the way, they bought a book, but I was so busy observing and thinking that I didn't see what they bought.

I know one thing. It wasn't The Missional Leader. It has to be ordered.
