You going with mama..I lifted my head up and it’s 4:45 am. I guess.
Our first stop was Target. As I top the hill…me and my mother in law were like My goodness…it was a line I know a mile long! I dropped her off at the end so she could hop in line. To add to the adrenaline rush, it’s 32 degrees outside. Its 5 AM and Target lets us into the store. My first stop was Starbucks…thank you Jesus!
I ran to Electronics because she wanted a portable DVD player…I get it…we meet back and she had one…lol! IT WAS SO CROWDED…THE RUSH OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE..hehehe…we also get 3 comforters…pjs for me and the boyz. What made this so fun is that my mother-in-law had a list of stuff to get and we got it…yeaaa!!!!
We stand in the checkout line and I’m high fiving people cheering Roll Tide because this is Iron Bowl day (Alabama vs Auburn)..if you are not an Alabamian you do not understand the intensity of this game..USC VS UCLA…Michigan vs Michigan State…not even close…hehehehehe!
We survived Target…we go back home because my wife wants to go to Jo-Anns and Michaels and Hobby Lobby (all craft stores). We head back out about 8:30AM. In the process, I stop by Office Max which is right next door to Michael’s and I got an HP wireless printer (woooo hooooo pictured above) for $39. I was going into Office Max just to look around while Stephanie and my mother-in-law shop in Michael’s!!!
Shopping all done, we stopped by Milo’s (a local hamburger joint) and refueled. We survived Black Friday.
Why the blurb on my shopping excursion on the biggest shopping day in America? There are some things in your life you need to advertise that are on the CLEARANCE rack:
* Complaining – must go!!
* Stress – must go!!
* Depression – must go!!
* Hatred – must go!!
* Jealousy – must go!!
* Strife – must go!!
* Unforgiveness – must go!!
* Pride
* Lust
* Laziness – must go!!
* Not motivated – GOT TO GO!!
But, you need to make sure you have stocked up on:
* Love
* Joy
* Peace
* Patience
* Goodness
* Meekness
* Faith
* Gentleness
* Self control
If you make sure the Clearance rack gets cleared, and you don’t run out of the sale items, not only will you be a hit for the holidays, you will live a life of contentment!!!
you have been Motivated!!
Walter you are a good man! U survived Black Friday!!

You make it sound oh so easy … It might not be that easy for everyone.
Life is good but life is HARD.

I was wonderin’ where you were going! You took this post to a whole ‘nother level! Great! It’s time to clean house, and adhere to Galatians 5:22!
