Pharmacy

So this evening I had dinner with my wife and ran some errands, and when we were almost home I realized that I had a prescription at the pharmacy. I parked the truck and headed in now mind you it is 8:45 on a Wednesday night. I went to the desk and waited a few moments and was joined at the counter by an elderly black woman who had obviously been at church (I could tell by her attire), also needing to pick up her prescriptions . We waited a few more moments and were greeted by a young white female that was wearing several Wicca necklaces and purple tinted glasses. The young pharmacy tech asked me what I needed and I informed her that I was picking up a prescription and gave her the personal info that she needed. As the pharmacy tech turned to walk to retrieve my prescription the elderly black woman looked at me and smiled and said "What she needs is some Jesus!" Now you have to understand that she thought she said this quietly, but contrary to her belief I am quite sure that the young pharmacy tech heard her. Fighting off laughter, I payed for my things and left, and walking out I thought to myself, if that girl had the confidence of the elderly women who had seen the worse of times and the best of times for her people, the young clerk may have said something back, but instead she didn't. She did not stand up for something that she proudly displayed around her neck and in her ears. I am convinced that if you are passionate and deeply believe in something that you must speak up. You must be heard. You must find your mountain and shout from it. This is not the time to be meek and mild.


Stand and deliver my friend!!!
