He died to take away your sins, not your taste

This was in a bit of spam I got a while ago...apparently, someone thought I might be enchanted by this "Remarkable, and very limited" collectible from the Bradford Exchange. Yes, it is very, very limited.

This is my favorite part of the description:
Beloved "Footprints in the Sand" poem is scripted in golden letters on a Florentine Crystal*
*Florentine Crystal is a special combination of sparkling clear resins.

The same guy who inspired the grand cathedrals of the world inspired this. I have a weird relationship with Jesus schlock. On the one hand, I find it sort of touching, at least when it's sincere (as opposed to the Jesus BobbleHead, which is just silly and fun) which is why I love my fibre-optic Last Supper. I like most bad interpretations of the Last Supper, actually. I just don't want anyone to think that Christianity is all about Pwecious Moments figurines, Touched by an Angel, Thomas Kinkade tea cozies, Left Behind, those horrid perma-forwarded emails about brave little kids and their dogs, and Chick tracts about how everyone is going to Hell. A lot of people are out there speaking for the faith - my faith - and doing it in a voice that doesn't resonate with me at all.

Voices which do resonate:
Rowan Williams
Anne Lamott
Barbara Brown Taylor
Henri Nouwen
Nora Gallagher
Kathleen Norris
Molly Wolf

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this site, but I've missed blogging since I stopped writing on going bridal. However, I think it's a pretty good bet that this one will be about The Jeez about as much as the going bridal blog was about the wedding. I'm probably going to say Fuck a lot.

Hey, check out my space vixens!
