Reply to "Sex shop on Mobile street?"

Hi Mary,

First, to answer your question: NO, I do not believe it belongs in any city, especially in the Shoals.

However, your post renewed a memory. About ten years ago, when I first moved to the city of Riverside, California, on one street corner (outside of town) there was a shop similar to what you have described -- selling all sorts of drug paraphernalia. And, right next door was a store-front Hispanic Christian church. This struck me as funny -- and I wondered who would win -- the god of drugs, or the one and only God. Some months later, I drove past again and the drug shop was gone -- but, the church was still there.

Fast forward a year, I drove past again and now, where the drug shop had been was now a Psychic Store -- selling all sort of New Age things. And, right next door was still the Hispanic Christian church. Again, I prayed: "Lord, show them who is really in control."

Six months later, the Psychic Store went out of business -- but, the church was still there. As I drove past, I smiled and thanked God for His faithfulness.

Do you think Florence needs some prayer warriors focusing on this drug/sex paraphernalia shop?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
