I stepped into a local bakery to see if they had any fruitcake. (Yes, I actually LIKE fruitcake) While I was waiting to talk with the clerk I noticed a woman standing in the corner sort of babbling out loud. Then she started approaching customers as they walked in and making strange comments to them. Customers either ignored her or walked away. She started talking to the back of my head about some dance everyone should attend tonight while I was talking with the clerk. As I turned to leave, I saw her walk up to the clerk and comment that he had grown up in a Mormon family and everyone in her family could receive prophecy and revelations in dreams. She started talking about her connection to the Whitmers and how the Whitmer family had all received prophecy right along with Joseph Smith. I turned and looked just long enough to see the clerk rolling her eyes.
Guess there was fruitcake at that bakery, just not for sale.
As I left the bakery I felt grateful that this woman was helping to show the town's people in this midwestern city that Mormonism really is a crazy cult. Yes, I had a very good day today. : )
