in ukraine, the good times never end

so, my family and i were in our neighboring big city, kremenchuk, yesterday doing some shopping at the equivalent of a wal-mart. we were strolling down the office supplies aisle and were looking at the permanent markers when we spotted this:

sharpies? no, look closer. they are "skerples"! yes, that's right, a knock-off sharpie look-alike (even the logo script looks the same). but yes, it is a "skerple". i couldn't stop laughing and thought i'd share the fun with you all. i almost bought them just so i could keep laughing, but then considered it and figured they'd break in a few days, so i passed.

...Not just "skerple" but "super skerple" How could you pass them up? :)

i saw some black sharpies in our rynok the other day...maybe they were skerples and i didn't even notice. i was a bit surprised to see them here...

yeah, now that i've had time to think about it, i'm considering buying a pack to give out as souvenirs when we go back to the states in the fall. what better symbol to say "pray for ukraine" then a skerple!? :)

I would also like to know which Indiana churches you will visit, in case you can come to my church, I would like to visit a church when you are speaking.
