The Jesus Sign
I have SO much to tell you about: Friday night's visit to the Magic Castle, my very cool interview with actor Treva Etienne, how I'm a reverse racist and angry black woman (according to an anonymous email I got the other day -- is it mean if I share the email address it came from?) Plus, my kids ran me ragged today with almost five hours of baseball, so I'm feeling lazy and unmotivated.
But I am not too lazy to share my neighbor's huge tarp on which he/she has written a message for us all.
Maybe I'm too critical, but for real, if you're gonna make a poster about Jesus, make it look good. Don't do the janky stencil thing. Jesus deserves better than this. And what's up with listing the Bible verses in what looks like Sharpie? Sigh!
I know, Jesus does not care. It's the spirit behind it that counts and I'm just the jaded Angeleno that thinks this is the most ugly, ghetto sign I've seen in a minute.
And now that I've shared The Jesus Sign, I'm going back to watching SNL. (Hmm... I kinda feel like the sign could be on an episode of SNL!)

You'd either laugh or cry to spend a week here.
At least they remember that today is about Jesus and His Sacrifice.
Most are content to give it to the bunny who defies all laws of nature and lays eggs filled with useless toys and teeth rotting candy...
LOL, if I came to visit, I'd have my camera out, non-stop, I'm sure. Yeah, I am not too psyched over the idea of reading about Armageddon on random signs every five minutes, but I figure if folks want to make those signs, at least make 'em look good!
Nick,
It probably is an American thing because we clearly love to make signs about everything under the sun. We're a nation of declaring what we like/don't like very publicly. This is just somebody's house, not a church, and I guess he/she just felt moved to make it.
Pooneh,
Easter was my favorite holiday when I was a kid because my grandma always had the BEST Easter baskets and jellybeans are my favorite candy. I miss digging them out of the fake Easter grass! My boys semi-aware that there's an Easter Bunny but we have no chocolate or candy around! It's pretty funny because they've been walking around for a week announcing to random people, "Did you know that Jesus rose from the dead?"
Anyway, yes, the spirit of the sign is in the right place but I still think it's a little tacky. (If I found out that their kids did it, I'll change my mind!)
Ha.
