A meeting at Best Buy

You all know that I work at Best Buy. I work in the Digital Cameras and Camcorders. So everyday I just greet custormers and ask if they need help. And everyday I get the answer "No..I am good..thanks for asking though." or "yeah man...I don't know nothing about this stuff."

But something was different yesterday. I did everything right according to the books. But this time the custormer helped me out.

His name is Wayne. While I was checking him out with all the stuff he bought, he took a look at my tattoo on my wrist. He asked me what it was. I told him that it is my christian fish. He asked me if I was a christian. And I said yes. He asked if I know the real name of my tattoo and what it meant be in the day.

He said it is called "ICHTHUS". People wore this to identify themselfs as christians. Whenever they traveled...if they met someone...and wondered if they were christian, they would draw half of the fish and the other would draw the other half. "ICHTHUS" is an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, of God, the Son, the Savior" [Iesous (Jesus) CHristos (Christ) THeou (of God) Uiou (the Son) Soter (the Savior)] I felt really bad for not knowing what it meant. I knew that it was a way of saying you were a christian, but not the true meaning.

He asked me if I wittnessed to anyone. I told him that I was weak in that area. That I really didn't know how to do it. I'm a person that is scared of rejection.

So we talked some more about life...and everything else that came with it. I told him he needed to come more often just to talk. He said now he has a reason to come to Best Buy. Good stuff!

That's the short version of what happened.
