Gaping Open...

My mouth that is. At first I laughed at the absurdity of it. Then when Christ was raised on the cross, my heart dropped. Is this what we've reduced our faith to? Is this how we bring glory to our Lord and Savior, who took the punishment we deserve upon himself? His blood has been shed for this too, but do we really think this magnifies the glory of our Redeemer? Is this how we treat him who is our resurrection and our life? Didn't Jesus himself kick some people out of the temple for this sort of business-ization of God? Sure the ad may be satirical, but the real thing still exists.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I tend to think our faith is more about action than action figures.

Even if you live under a rock, you know that the much anticipate "miracle" device known as the iPhone came out today. The big boys figure they'll sell about a million just this first weekend. And for those of us that aren't shelling out the cash for this beauty, we should have at least bought some of Apple's stock, so we could then afford to buy one.

Aside from the mass amounts of YouTube videos out there, the User's Guide on Apple's website is just as exciting.
