Looks as though Jesus was in the local Wild West!!
Great pic, happy WW!!
Wow, that is just so… wow.
“Jesus stuff.”
I think where I’m headed with that thought above is: that is just so… lazy.
Holy cow… I can’t believe someone who actually display “Jesus Stuff”. I agree with the comment above… that is LAZY.
That’s not in Keystone, SD, by any chance??
*LOL* “stuff”…..
Great pic bud!
I’m always looking for good Jesus STUFF - LOL!
This sign is in Red River, New Mexico, an amazing place to spend time, as we did in early July this year. (that account goes on for several posts, if anybody wants to follow along by clicking in the calendar in the left sidebar.)
LOL. Happy WW.
And on the third day the apostles gathered round the tomb into which they had placed body of their Lord, wrapped in a shroud that concealed his form. There was much talk amongst them and jostling of opinions and it took the calm persistence of Peter to affect a lull in the discordant bickering. So Peter spoke among his brothers and he said, “We have gathered here to bear witness to the divinity of our Lord Jesus of Nazareth, and so let us do what we came here to do.”
Thus, at the goading of Peter, the apostles applied a concerted effort and rolled aside the great stone that had been put in place to bar entry into the tomb of Jesus. The dust settled, the wan light shone in, and the tomb was revealed.
And Lo! Before the eyes of the apostles there gathered, all bore witness to the presence of the burial shroud in which Jesus had been wrapped, but a sign of the body there was none. And so the remaining apostles of Jesus took it as a sign that, as he had foretold, he had risen on the third day and shown himself to be the Son of God and somehow walked out of the tomb.
Peter bowed his head and led the rest of the men in a solemn prayer, upon completion of which Matthew, the youngest, had the temerity to speak up: “Dibs on his stuff!”
This looks like someplace I saw at Yellowstone:>
didn’t Jesus teach about not accumulating ’stuff’? :)
ahh…. good ‘ole tourist shops!
that’s a funny way to put that :) Great capture!
Interesting way to put it. Very weird. LOL
Great WW!
I would not have thought the folks who buy Jesus Stuff would actually come right out and call it Jesus Stuff. It’s like a minister asking if anyone wants to come up and eat a cracker.
And I don’t remember any stories about Jesus’ jewelry. Heavenly bling, baby! I’m picturing a grill with “WWID” across the teeth.
And Simon, don’t be too hard on poor Matthew. He’d been walking shoeless for some time…and Jesus had some friggin’ sweet Birks.
Thanks for the story, Simon. Good laugh for the day.
I wonder what other ideas were pitched when they decided what to put on that sign.
Jesus Things?
Great one Simon. I actually saw a store in a mall in Honolulu that had an aisle labeled “Jesus Junk”.
Mark,
I’m commenting on your latest entry rather than mailing you only because, as I think I’ve mentioned to you before, three different people with your given name have corresponded with me before and I can’t quite figure out which Mark in my address book is the real Mark (i.e., you).
At any rate, I opted not to let through your last comment on my blog, and I just wanted to let you know not to take it personally or anything — the comment just happened to contain a reference to a fact I’d rather remain more obscure than less so from certain parties.
Mail me for a fuller explanation.
Tra-la-la!
Love,
CBB
CBB - I e-mailed you. Thanks!
