Three Argentine Navy officers search for another Navy officer and a scientist who fell into an ice crevasse believed to be at least 50 meters deep while travelling by snowmobile near the Collins glacier, some 12 kilometers from the Jubany base in the Antarctic Peninsula on September 18, 2005.

2. Matcom, this one's for you:

BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND

One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there were seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.

But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord, they are too big for feet."

"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait."

"You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt."

"Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."

:hi:

5. This makes an impact ... Just like a butt print in the sand.

6. If I could afford it

I would have one for my wife and another for my daughter... they are beautiful!

12. Gold and diamonds.... WWJD?

Somehow I don't see the Christ I was raised to believe in as endorsing such a product.

Just take that $200 dollars or so you'd spend in your wife and kid for that Jesus Kitsch and give it instead to your local food bank.

Make Jesus really happy for once. :)

[pepperlove]

14. We are all made "happy"

in our own way. You use yours the way you see fit and I will do the same. How's dat?

[ghostsofgiants]

22. She said make Jesus happy, not make yourself happy...

And since Jesus advocated giving away material possessions to the poor, donating the money to a food bank instead of buying jewelry would probably be considered preferable in the eyes of Jesus.

Pretty sure that was her point.

Just sayin' is all.

[pepperlove]

23. Whatever....

things get so twisted on here at times. Oh well.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. Yep - there is little that I find more offensive than crosses

decked out in expensive jewels, precious metals, and etc.

A simple iron or steel or wood cross is all that is really acceptable. Anything else just shows how utterly poorly one has taken the message of Christ. The cross should never be JEWELERY, for fuck's sake. It should be worn only as a sign.

And I say that as a Christian who is very serious about his faith.

7. Perhaps you can wear them when you renew your vows here:

24. Can you imagine? -- Guess what, honey! I wanna get married at

Precious Moments Wedding Island! Why don't you just cut your testicles off right now and save us some time?

:rofl:

[jane_pippin]

30. That about sums it up!

:rofl:

That link you posted downthread is great too. I bookmarked it for days when I need a spiritual boost. ;)

[Arugula Latte]

31. I'm here to help!

:hi:

Who says I don't do anything but take up space on this Earth ...

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I'm getting one!

[RevCheesehead]

9. Do you collect Jesus Kitsch too?

I've got a nativity snowmen/igloo set that I put out at Christmas. And, of course, my Jesus Bobblehead.

10. Do you have the Jeebus action figure?

[RevCheesehead]

11. Why, yes, I do...

and he comes with a loaf of bread, I believe.

I also have the Ark of the Covenant



This one's next on my wish-list:

13. Ha! That site is fantastic.

I think I just found everybody's christmas gifts for this year. Thanks for posting the link.

[Arugula Latte]

26. Here is some damn good Jesus kitsch, as well

(Although it's not supposed to be thigh-slapping funny ... )

[RevCheesehead]

27. Oh, yeah!

Actually, some of my best links come from "Jesus of the Week."

16. They used to have a Moses action figure, too

but I didn't see him on the page this time. Moses came with two tablets IIRC.

[RevCheesehead]

18. you have to go to the full list of products page.

it's there, but ya gotta scroll through the list.

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. No, I just love Thomas Kinkade, because he's been saved

and he paints real good and stuff and does nice Christian art.

[bbernardini]

15. "Footprints in the sand, round and round..."

"...everlasting life is what we've found."

I should write for one of those websites that turns pop songs into Christian tunes.

[pepperlove]

17. Go for it

but sincerity often shows -- or not. Good luck.

[matcom]

19. right. sincerity like that of Pat Roberston and Jerry Falwell
