Last
week I happened upon the news that Walmart has pulled donkey meat off the
shelves in China after testing showed it was contaminated with fox meat. Seriously?!
I’m not sure if I would rather find fox in my donkey meat or donkey in
my fox meat. However, it seems to be a
very real problem & Shaun Rein of the Shanghai-based China Market Research
Group, told Reuters this recall “is another hit on Walmart's brand, meaning
wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before.” Because apparently wealthy shoppers in China
don’t want their donkey meat to contain fox.
If we
can get beyond what it was supposed to contain, and what it did contain, we can
understand the concern. When you think
something is 100% something and you find out that it isn’t, that’s disturbing. Whether it’s donkey or fox.
When we
say that we are a Christ Follower, that comes with an expectation that we are
actually following Christ, that Christ is a part of our lives, and that we are
following what Christ taught. And when
people find out that we are mixing it with the world, they are disturbed and
often disappointed. And that’s worse
than finding fox in your donkey.
Have a great week and remember:
To see what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
