I got this random text message today just after lunch time.

guy: Why didn’t u come in yesterday.  Phillipians 4:13.

I didn’t recognize the #, but thought, “hmm…maybe this actually is meant for me.  Was I supposed to go somewhere yesterday and forgot to go wherever it was I was supposed to go?  But what about that Bible verse? Is that supposed to mean something?”  

Philipians 4:13 says “I can do everything through him who gives me strength” 

“Okay, so…I was supposed to go somewhere, and I might have had some reservations about going there,  but the Lord would give me strength to go there, where ever it was”  ?  I couldn’t think of anywhere I was supposed to be.

me: Who is this?
guy: Cj dummy.  Phillipians 4:13.

I don’t know a Cj, unless you count the one I went to high school with, who I didn’t even really know at all, and that was years ago.  So, you’re just a wrong # guy who appends a bible verse to the end of every single text message you send.  Okay then.

me: I don’t think I know a cj, sorry.  Wrong #?
guy: Cj in ur history class look up idiot.  Phillipians 4:13.
guy: Cj in ur history class look up idiot.  Phillipians 4:13.

And, a guy that sends text messages twice in a row, with insults.

me: Dude, trust me, you have the wrong #.  My last history class was 6 years ago.
guy: Sorry I do have the wrong #.  Phillipians 4:13.

Yeah, told you, guy.
I wonder if there is a blog out there for people to submit text messages they get from wrong #’s.  I bet there are some gems out there.  
Also, I kind of wish I would’ve played along with him.

    I get calls on my cell for a Jill someone all the time, and once I got a random text that was definitely not for me. It said, “Meet at the Bryant & Lake Bowl for Pride party, 7 pm!” Too bad it wasn’t for me..sounded like it might be fun. :)
