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!
