Ramblings

Just wandered across what must be one of the most bizarre websites yet. Selling trinkets with a Christian flair such as: Crucifix Breath Mints, Jesus Pencil Toppers, Seven Deadly Sins Wristbands, Next to the Last Supper Gum and bunches of other items, the website is www.misspoppy.com and I promise:

1) It’s funny, and

2) You won’t believe it.

At EFM last night doing Theological Reflection on Ezekiel’s “Dry Bones” passage; somehow or another we arrived at the Diaspora and related it to the plight of New Orleanians who still remain displaced by Katrina and their ardent desires to get back home no matter what their situation. Oddly enough, by knowing and considering the attachment NOLA’s citizens have for their City we could more easily understand the Jewish nation’s attachment to Jerusalem.
