I am a pretty patient person so my first day purchase happened more recently.
Nov.18 2006 10AM- My friend and I arrive at Wal-Mart with our lawn chairs. We find out that Wal-Mart is allowing all Wii waiter to sit and wait in the lawn and garden center. I was glad because it was cold outside. We get in line, four people are in front of us. A manager has us sign our names to a list. As long as we stay in the biulding our spots in line will be saved.
12PM- We pass the time. I play Sudoku puzzles and read the Bible. My friend talks to the seventh guy in line about computer programming.
4PM- I try to show my friend a cool chapter in the Bible, but he said "not now". I say loudly so others could hear, "Are you ashamed of Christ?".
12PM- There are 30 people in line but only 25 Wii's. We are glad we got there early. We enjoyed meeting the other people in line, it was a great experience. We decide to wait in line for the next Nintendo console. It is my turn to buy a Wii. I buy Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princes, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and an extra Wii controller, or atleast I try to. I give the cashier a check, the computers don't except it, it write another check, the computers don't except that check either. I knew I had over $1000 in my checking account. I was mad and sad. I move out of line. My friend begins to pay for for his Wii. He had cash. He got his Wii. I am numb. Suddenly someone I never meet before said that she would pay for my Wii. I am revujenated. The Cashier allowed me to buy a Wii because they still had my Wii and games and controller in a plastic bag. There are grumblings in the back of the line. She explains that her son noticed me earlier and that we go to the same church. My church has 1500 members so I don't know how he would know for sure that I went to his church. I think it helped that I was reading the Bible in line and that I said so others could hear "Are you ashamed of Christ?". God's Word is true. In Psalm 37:4 it says,"
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." The women and I walked out of the store and she told me that she would keep the Wii until after I pay her at church tomorrow morning. That sound easy right, pay her at church the next morning? If you want to hear that nightmare of a morning just ask and I will tell you.
