Sometimes we tend to focus too much on the negative…
And by “we” I mean society as a whole but also specifically us here at WLTReport.
I don’t go out looking for negative stories, but unfortunately they outnumber the good ones by a large margin.
So I am SO PLEASED to be able to bring you this wonderful story featuring Scheels sporting goods.
Thanks to a reader who sent me this screenshot of an email they received from Scheels this morning on Easter Sunday:
Bravo @SCHEELS !
Look at the email they proudly sent out this morning on Easter Sunday!
They are going to get a LOT more business from me, that's for sure. Great job Scheels! pic.twitter.com/w2A0s3x3ED

So great to see this!
Here’s the full image so you can see it:
Most companies these days won’t even celebrate Easter at all — or even mention it.
If they do, it is ONLY with Bunnies and Eggs.
But Scheels did it 100% right here.
The cross of Jesus Christ is proudly featured.
There is not a bunny or egg in sight.
HE IS RISEN is printed in bold all caps lettering.
And Matthew 28:6 is proudly featured.
Perfect all around!
Scheels is going to be getting a whole lot more business from me, and I hope you too!
Please help us share this good news of a company doing a great thing!
It isn’t the first time they have proudly featured JESUS on Easter Sunday…
This is from 2017:

I checked their Twitter profile and I don’t see anything posted for this year, but it also looks like they only posted a couple times in all of 2023.
So bravo on everything you are doing Scheels — my only recommendation is perhaps get someone to run your Twitter account more actively.
If you’d publish these things on Twitter, me and 5 million of my closest friends would be happy to help share them and get the message out for you!
Keep up the great work!
