Precarious Paths of a Postmodern Pilgrim
You escape your worries by finding your way to Nordstrom!
Ahhh... that oh-so-familiar smell rushes all around you. It's better than a warm shower. You know you have arrived somewhere safe.
You head over to your favorite department and start looking for that pair of Seven jeans that you have your eye on. As you load your arms with ten different styles the sales clerk comes over and starts your room. You continue to look at the newest items of the season. Nothing is really jumping out at you. But you still look. You get the feeling like you need to buy something else. Something to go with your jeans. This feeling gets stronger. You must have a cute outfit! It will make you feel better to wear it. Things will be okay if you have your super cute outfit. You quickly grab four different shirts, all the same shirt, just different colors. You quickly get to the fitting room and know that you must make a decision...

You have 5 choices:
- You decide to get out of there. There is a pounding in your chest and you think you might die...
- You look in the mirror and tell yourself to stop being so emotional, clothes always make you feel better...
- You walk out of the dressing room without anything, there is something missing in your life that you can't cover up with super cute outfits...
- You call the sales clerk and tell her that you are going to need some boots to go with your new jeans...
- You sit in the dressing room and call your brother. He is kind of a "out there Christian" but he might be able to offer some advice...
