trying not to be too upset right now...
so today, i was headed to HELiOS with chris to get some work done, and he needed to stop by Family Christian Bookstores. if you know me, you know if have a love.hate relationship with this store. i love that i get a pastors discount, but i pretty much hate everything else. i think it was birthed when i was in mission viejo at sunshine bookstore and i saw a prayer of jabez mouse pad. really? a mouse pad? and thus began my distaste and vomitus reactions when entering these types of stores. so today we are checking out and by the counter i see "heaven's dew" - chapstick. (instert explitive here) seriously!! christian chapstick!!!! come on people!! this is the same place where i can by my 'passport to heaven' for .50 and i can by 'scripture candy'. is this what our good news has turned into? a marketing campaign? yet another reason i want to be associated with followers of The Way. i dont want to be associated with that type of 'christian' from that kind of bookstore.
i LOVE HELIOS!
and jesus
and jasen
(not in that order)

Unfortunately they are making a Jesus doll that quotes scriptures. Now something about that makes me much more upset than christian chapstick. But hey, to each their own. Maybe that person pulling out the chapstick will be able to start a conversation with someone that doesn't know Christ. It could be an effective conversation starter...maybe...but probably not.

Things like that just solidify the 'freak/fanatic' sterotype the world has of christianity. Hey, but is 'Jesus your homeboy'? :D
