Godvertising

Got this in my email today:

Many of the signs and billboards in the area were no match for Hurricane Charley.

However, one billboard resisted the 100-mile per hour winds of the eye wall of the storm. While the billboard still stands, the advertisement that was there when Hurricane Charley hit was pealed back to reveal an earlier message.

When the sun rose the next morning on Sand Lake Road in Orlando the words on the billboard clearly read:

Dusty bibles lead to dirty lives

When is the last time you opened your bible? Do you read it and study it? Do you know what is in it? Do you know what is expected of you?

There’s so much holier-than-thou in this little sermon, and so much implied admonishment. But for those with well-worn bibles, it is more an affirmation.

Does it speak to you? Here are some links to bibles online:

• The Bible Gateway
• The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible - Find unusual passages in the Bible, the Koran, the Book of Mormon
• Get the New Testament Audiobook read by James Earl Jones
• Get the Old Testament audiobook
• The Brick Testament - The Bible illustrated in Lego building blocks

God wants a whole heart, but will accept a broken one.

Give your whole heart to God. If your heart is broken, He can heal it.

Life is an echo. What you send out is what you get back.

Ah, karma…

From the flood to September 11; how soon we forget

Eek! This one looks pretty gruesome. The implication (I think) is that the attacks of September 11th were a message from God akin to the flood. Say, isn’t that what the attackers thought, too?
