    Have you guys noticed stuff like this out there?
Yes, yes, oh yes. Question #1: Did they do a good job on the rug? I was recently in a woman's washroom at the Charlotte, NC, airport. This washroom had a large jolly greeter with a very loud voice: "GOOD AFTERNOON, WELCOME TO CHARLOTTE, HAVE A GOD-BLESSING DAY. GOD BLESS, BE SAFE GIRLS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, LADIES ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS, GOD BLESS GIRLS, HAVE A GOD-BLESSING DAY." I'm not really sure what else she did besides bless people or perhaps watch their luggage while they went in a cubicle (where I hid from her booming voice and scribbled down her words verbatim.) If I was cool like TNG, I'd have recorded it and posted it. In any event, as I was leaving, I noticed her tip jar and stuffed a dollar in it. She then blessed me a few more times. Clearly this godly marketing tool works (and I'm an atheist.)

Oftentimes I wonder how often a secular policy is in actual big game businesses. Obviously, it's not technically allowed to introduce church into schools and government, but at, say a Wal-Mart, do they investigate an employee for being zealous on the job?

What did you think of the Charlotte airport? It's one of my favorites. I like the rocking chairs.

I record lots of audio on my phone while I am out and about. I have a great one of a street preacher at a farmers market. He is yelling about finding salvation and how everyone without Jesus is going to hell and on and on....

Then a woman carrying a large watermelon asks him for help carrying it to her car. He shakes his head and turns away from her and continues to preach about hell. Well, I put my recording phone in my pocket and helped that woman carry her produce to her car. I'll try to find the file and post it, it's a good one.

Have a God Blessed day lil :)

I noticed the rocking chairs! Aside from being blessed and having free wireless internet (if I recall correctly) not much else happened. Unfortunately, I was flying into Buffalo in the middle of a blizzard of blowing snow (this was just this past Tuesday night). Strangely, as soon as I crossed the border into Canada, the snow stopped and the roads were completely clear. God bless, God bless!
