Today's posting starts with a little refresher course in children's bible stories. Here's the verse: Jonah 1 1:3 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah 2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." 3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. So, Granny Sherry was a huge help last week by taking JR to school for me a couple of times. On the way, they had the following conversation:
JR: Granny Sherry, Did you know that Baby Moses got swallowed by a big fish?
Sherry: Well, actually JR, Wasn't it Jonah that got swallowed by the big fish?
JR: Yes, that's what I meant. Did you know Jonah got swallowed by a big fish?
Sherry: Yes, JR, I did know that.
JR: Yep, He got swallowed by a big fish because God told him to go to Nin-a-vah and he went to Target instead.
Oh, how well I've taught him to shop. Yes, JR, I would have to agree. Sometimes it's hard to do what God tells you, especially when there's a Target nearby!

Especially Target. I love that story. I also like the part when he tells that the people of Nenevah were so mean that they were slapping each other with fish. Maw-maw
Those are the memories Granny will never forget, a one hour drive to school can bring out all kinds of amazing wisdom from a 5 year old. Needless to say, after that conversation, I did not spend any time at Target that day - just for safety's sake, I choose Walmart instead - you can never be too careful.
