Today I received another book in the mail that I did not order.
The first one really threw me because I had no idea who would order a book and ship it to me. I assumed it was an error and pitched it in the corner of my office. I knew that none of MY friends would get me a book called The Secrets of Calvary (or something like that) and it was around Easter time so I figured maybe some church project was involved. After all, it was a tiny inexpensive paperback.
I had no interest in reading the book. I have a pile of books I want to read and I am working on them. I admit I was a little put off by having a book pushed on me.
Our UPS guy finally said it was his doing. He’s a friendly guy and has invited me to attend his church with him before. I thanked him because I thought it polite to do so and promptly gave the book to someone that I thought might actually read it. I hate to waste a book.
I am NOT religious. I don’t go to church anymore and I don’t study the bible. It’s not where I am or what I am doing right now. Evidently the UPS guy thinks it is because he sent me ANOTHER book today “A Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren.
I have actually heard of this book, if I remember correctly it was very popular at one time. However, I have ZERO interest in reading it and now I have to DO something with it.
First I need to decide how to respond when he asks if I got it. Should I just give it back to him and say no thank you?
Suggestions?
(And don’t tell me to read it.)
