I came across a very interesting scene earlier today and I thought I’d share it. I was heading through campus to the gym. In the center of the plaza were two groups of people trying to get students’ attention. One lady was standing in a open space carrying a bible and wearing a T shirt which read “Only sin-free saints go to heaven”. On the other side was a group of students standing over a BBQ, selling hot-dogs to raise money to send kids to camp.
Both sides were yelling to the crowd. The hot dog students: “Hey, are you hungry? Hot dogs for $1! Help send kids to camp!” The bible lady: (couldn’t quite make out what she was saying, but I heard the name “Antichrist” several times).
As they were no more than 20 feet apart, the voices were mingling with each other and increasing in volume, each side clearly frustrated at the competition. As I walked by, the hot dog students apparently decided to make the best of their challenging situation…..
“I think there was something about hot dogs in the bible!!”. The crowd burst out laughing.
It was such a bizarre scene, it prompted an equally bizarre thought. If Jesus was here, I wonder which camp he would be in? Would he be wearing an ominous T shirt and shouting about the antichrist, or serving hot dogs to raise money for summer camp? I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I have a pretty good idea…….
