Today, was a very interesting day at work! I experienced something as a cristian that I never have before. I thought it would still be awhile before I did, but low and behold it happened today. Although, I am not surprised, surprised I just didn’t see it coming today. I understand that at work is a sensitive area as far as how we express our being christians. I have in the past read my bible in the lunch room or prayed while others could see or may see before eating, the thought was there I admit as to what others may think. We know people will be negative. Well so far I had no problem, but today I was approached my lead and another female surpervisor( a self proclaimed christian women). They had to let me know that a employee had brought up the fact a card with a picture of a cross (from Mt Rubidoux) I had above a cork board was offensive to them! I wasn’t told I had to remove it,but I was asked to reposition it. My office is located inside a enclosed area with a large glass window, within a warehouse and as people pass through the warehouse they can see my Cross! The size of a greating card at least twenty feet away! Of coarse when employees come into my office of coarse the get alot closer.
I guess there is no sense in being to upset we are told these kinda of things will happen and Its for that reason that I actually thank those who brought this up. It just confirms what we are told and strengthens my faith. I have prayed for them as well. I know that this is a very small insident in terms of what others have gone thru and our going thru as I sit safe in my home writing this, but for me and my still safe christian world I live in – it was very signifigant!

I thank you Jesus and pray for the strength to uphold myself at work as you would have me.
