KNOXVILLE, TN — Local woman Carol Hughes is being blatantly persecuted for her faith while at work. After she placed a flowery, verse-a-day calendar on her office desk earlier today, not a single person has commented on it in any way, shape, or form.
"I've had my bright, colorful Bible verse calendar sitting on my desk ALL day, just begging my coworkers to say something about it and have a conversation about my faith," said Carol Hughes. "But instead everyone is intentionally ignoring it, just because I'm a Christian."
"The devil must be hard at work ensuring my gospel-sharing calendar goes unnoticed," continued Carol. "I'm living through one of those classic persecution stories that you hear about in the Bible or from missionaries. This must be exactly how David felt being thrown into the lion's den, or how Moses felt when people made fun of him for building that big boat."
According to sources, Carol has no intentions of removing the calendar and "giving in to what they want". Carol says she intends to persevere through this terrible oppression and bravely endure for the Kingdom.
At publishing time, Carol realized she was being persecuted once again when she said, "Bless you!" to a coworker who just sneezed and they didn't give their life to Christ immediately.
