Jesus Heals. So does the Black Nazarene? 2009-01-12 15:00:01 For a short time in 1987 I lived down the street from the famous Quiapo Church in Manila. This is an ominous building that towers over a section of the city known for its poverty and crime. One reason this Catholic Church is well known is for its 400 year old statue of the Black
Nazarene, a life-sized, dark wood sculpture of Jesus
carrying his cross, brought to the Philippines from Mexico after be Read more:Heals
Jesus is a Homeless Cat? 2009-01-09 19:38:10 This testimony of Anne Lamott's is a quite raw, and very real.I didn’t go to the flea market the week of my abortion. I stayed home, and smoked dope and got drunk, and tried to write a little, and went for slow walks along the salt marsh with Pammy. On the seventh night, though, very drunk and just about to take a sleeping pill, I discovered that I was bleeding heavily. It did not stop over the Read more:Jesus
Who Does Jesus Root For? 2009-01-09 00:28:03 The National College Championship game is tonight and both the Oklahoma Sooners and the Florida Gators are doing everything they can to win the game. They both have great coaches, storied programs, lots of fan support and Heisman winning quarterbacks. In fact both of these quarterbacks are outspoken Christians, and by outspoken Christians I mean that they are verbal about their faith.So which team Read more:Jesus
Vicar Removes Scary Crucifix from His Church 2009-01-07 17:54:52 St. Johns church in Horsham, England has had the same dark crucifix since 1963, the year the church doors were first opened. It was designed by Edward Bainbridge Copnall, a sculptor who artfully constructed the crucifix out of coal dust and resin.When I first read the Reverand Souter’s quotes about removing the long standing icon from the front of his parish I thought maybe I was reading a satir Read more:Scary

Randall's Holier than You 2009-01-05 11:39:13 So my friend Randall
sent me this picture because he says he can see Jesus in the Tile. Which sort of makes me happy for Randall, ensuring his salvation, but kind of makes me jealous too. This means that Randall searched the tile all day long to find God while I was searching the internet for Squirrel stories. Fine. I'll post Randall's holiness tile, but I won't create a category just for him. For

He came in a year ago with a Jewish woman who comes every week to be with us, although she does not believe in Jesus. Shortly after the man with AIDS started coming, his partner died of the disease.

and His Friends
(which inlcude pastors, prophets, preachers, teachers, reverands, bishops, evangelists, missionaries and the Pope) is because they often speak as if they are the mouthpiece of Jesus but don't actually speak his words, or sometimes when they do they are out of context with his heart. Why pick on Oral Roberts? Because
