It Boggles

I don't know if you wil be able to read this sign from the low-res
picture, but we passed a Christian paintball facility on our way into
Bemidji. Called Devotion Paintball. It just boggles my mind how
something that involves shooting other people - even in play - can be
considered a Christian activity. Good thing I'm a Unitarian.

We did well at the wool mill. Except I was too busy helping all my
campers and holding Sophie in the sling to pick out any yarn for myself.
By the time I finished answering the last person's questions, the first
people were getting antsy to get back to the marina and the boat to
camp. That's okay. It's not like I actually *need* more yarn.

Devotion Paintball??? Yep, you're right, it boggles. Bummer no new yarn but the hammock looks really cool. Have fun.

My husband once saw a sign for "the Bible and Rifle Church." Yikes.

That's an impressive display of self control. In the same situation, I suspect I would try to make everyone wait while I picked out some yarn for myself.

Devotion paintball eh..will wonders never cease.

I do hope that you were able to get some good yarn petting in, even if none of it is on it's way home.

Hi Shelly - I saw your blog link on Kathleen's blog & couldn't resist commenting on the devotional paintball. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry but that is just pretty darn funny! I used to live in the Twin Cities, but now live in Michigan.
Once I saw a sign for a home daycare that read, "Little Lambs for the Lord"....sounded like some kind of scary sacrificial thing. LOL
