Saturday Fun

Those of you that know me well, know the love-hate relationship I have with "christian bookstores."  I love them because I can go down and pick up a book when I want one, but I hate the crap that they sell in there.  When I was in college, I worked at one, and now I get a bit nauseous when I go into one today.  I think the thing that drives me nuts is that there seems to be a need to "baptize" everything.  Testamints?  C'mon, why not just sell the velamints...isn't that what they are anyway?  And have you noticed that people will buy their kids stuff at the "christian bookstore" that they would never purchase anywhere else?  I mean, I saw a lady buy a piece of junk ball for her kid that wasn't worth a quarter, but she paid a dollar because it had a Jesus fish on it or some neat saying.


Oh well...I came across these new products that are sure to hit our bookstores soon.  Maybe you want these or maybe you have them, but either way I'm still laughing (and a little sad on the inside).  Let me know if you have more to add to my collection.

     

I heard a pastor say this week about "christian music" ( I think it applies here too), "There is no such thing as 'Christian music.'  Jesus didn't come to die for music, he came to die for people."  Interesting.

I'll have to wait and hear them some other time? I've missed seeing you around. Hope the trip was fun last weekend!
