For the Friday post I’m going back to a place where I know and love well and where fun material abounds: the church. How many times have you driven by a church sign that, while well intentioned, it was, let’s just say, poorly executed. These signs speak for themselves even when we wish they wouldn’t.
I don't know about you, but this sign depresses meI like this sign because Pastor Manning is letting me know that he will offend me when I come to the church by offending me on his sign. Brilliant!Hanuk, Hanneka, Hannecka. Aagh, forget this, I'm becoming a Christian!I've got nothingis that a million Christian Dollars? Like Disney Dollars? Will I be able to upgrade to a bigger mansion in heaven? Sign me up!!What?!? Isn't that from Lame-attentions 5:22 (Ok.

For some Twitter is a waste of time. For others it is a way to stay in touch with the world. But it has helped me become a better writer. Twitter forces me to make an argument or develop a thought in no more than 140 characters. In a world of digital verbosity, that’s hard…
Men need women. I know that’s a broad and general statement emotionally and philosophically charged, but it’s true. We all know Adam was lonely because he couldn’t find a companion so God created Eve. But in His infinite wisdom, God knew that Adam left alone would probably do a lot of stupid things, that, with…
I love church signs. As a matter of fact I have shared a few posts worth of some of my favorite signs over the years. But this video is simply brilliant. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. What’s the funniest or most inappropriate church sign you’ve seen recently?
