WWYDIJWRUTYOTS? Confused Yet?


We’ve all seen the bracelets, bumper stickers, t-shirts that say WWJD?

For those of you who still haven’t figured out what this means, it stands for

What

Would

Jesus

Do?

Meant to serve as a  reminder to the person wearing it (and those seeing it) to try to be more Christ-like, it has probably become a little ho-hum for most of us  now.  We’ve been there, done that. 

I think we should spice it up a little bit.  I’m thinking of launching my own line of products with a brand new slogan.  It will provoke thought, start conversations and turn some heads.  Are you ready????



WWYDIJWRUTYOTS?

Catchy, right?  I mean, admit it, right now you are scratching your head and contemplating whether or not I have totally lost my mind up in here, right?

It stands for:

What

Would

You

Do

If

Jesus

Walked

Right

Up

To

You

On

The

Street?

Kinda snazzy, right?  Think of the looks you would get!  SNAP! 

Sometimes, I think it is better to pose THIS question to people rather than expect them to ACT like Jesus by asking WWJD.  I mean, let’s be honest, not a whole lot of us are super successful at being Christ-like.  I’m workin my tail off, but most days I’m pretty sure I make Him shake his head.  J  You know He is thinkin, “Girl, seriously.  WHAT am I gonna do with you?”



WWYDIJWRUTYOTS?

At first glance, it just looks like I let a cat climb across my keyboard!  People would think you got your T-shirt from the clearance bin at the T-Shirt Hut at the Outlet Mall!  LOL

But, if you stop and think about it, what WOULD you do?  Personally, it would be a multi-staged process.

Step 1:  Mouth drops open

Step 2:  Look over shoulder for Candid Camera

Step 3:  ‘Are you talkin to me?’

Step 4:  Pregnancy-induced urine incontinence becomes evident

Right about now would be the point where it would begin to get embarrassing (seriously, worse than the tinkling??)  I am confident I would be so caught up in the moment that I may actually squeeze the life right out of Him.  How many of you remember the Bugs Bunny episode with Hugo the Abominable Snowman?  Yes you do, think about it!  The one where the big snowman picks up Bugs Bunny and says “I will hug him and squeeze him and I will call him George!”



Yep.  I’m pretty sure it would be THAT kind of hug.

Soon, though,  the reality would set in.  Even though I try to live my life in the best way possible, I would start to get the ole nervous belly right about now….thinking of all the things I’ve done in my life that weren’t so awesome. Seriously, do you think He saw all that? Right about now, I’d be ready to reach into my bag of tricks and pull out the little Mind Eraser wand Will Smith carried in Men In Black.  Hmmm…..think that works on the Big Guy?  DANG!  You’re probably right.

The only down-side I can find to WWYDIJWRUTYOTS? is the sheer length of it.  I mean, that’s gonna be one heck of a big t-shirt.  And forget putting that on a cooler cup or a bumper sticker.  More like a whole cooler, or a banner!  LOL


I’m gonna work on this….You guys would buy a shirt, right?  :)

In the meantime, maybe we should all ponder just WWYDIJWRUTYOTS? That way we can all feel comfortable in knowing that, if it happened tomorrow, we could HUG HIM, AND SQUEEZE HIM, AND CALL HIM GEORGE! 

It could be like a Flash Mob….but with Jesus in the middle!
