Yesterday my car was due for an oil change. I entered the waiting room of the auto shop and discovered the television was blaring what first appeared to be porn!
It was actually an offensive talk show with a guest who was a stripper doing an erotic pole dance punctuated with obscenities.
There were two men sitting opposite me, both focused on their cell phones. There was a young mother of a small boy and myself. The mother was telling her son not to look at the screen, which made him want to look all the more.
It only took a moment before I was off to find the manager to either turn it off or change the channel. He was apologetic and found the boy some cartoons.
The young mother turned to me and whispered, “Thank you” while the two men opposite continued staring at their phones.
Why didn’t the young mother take action herself? I don’t know. I do believe I was more intimidated when I was younger. But as a grandmother, God has given me boldness–for which I am grateful.
Has this happened to you? What did you do?

This life is temporary. This life is short. When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever. Where will the “real you” live? Will you live for all eternity separated from God? Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?
