A COLORFUL DAY AT THE PHARMACY

Pharmacies are serious places, but every once in a while, you’ve got to liven things up. One day, my pharmacist friend finished a prescription for someone named White . . . and the wheels in her head engaged.

She printed reprint labels from several real customers who were in the pharmacy’s database, labeled a bunch of sacks, put an empty Rx bottle in each sack, and put them in the tote to be paged.

Everyone was busy, following proper workflow, when the cashier was caught up enough to page another batch:

"The following parties may return to the pharmacy at your convenience: White, Green, Gray, Brown, Blue, Black, and Reddish."

Oh, to see the look on their faces!

Prayer request: There’s a teenage “punk” named Kyle, the leader of a pack of about a dozen kids who hang on his every word and action. But somehow or another, he went to a Christian youth retreat, and has rededicated his life to Jesus Christ. We rejoice with You, Lord, and pray for dedication and success for Scott, the youth minister who has begun the process of discipling Kyle. Bless Kyle’s growth so he will use his influence for You, Lord, and allow Scott to get everything done on top of this exciting new assignment. (Philippians 2:2-4)
