    I've stumbled across a most creative artful photography, placing Jesus in contemporary scenarios.

    For a mere $1,000 I too, could have Jesus working his Makeover in my bedroom. Ooh, la la.

    I am having strong and mixed reactions to this work, and I welcome your input.

    Hey, Outlaw. I'm still enjoying the wilderness experience, by the way.

    One thousand for the following? Sighh....

    And that kid from Two and a HAlf Men is making $350,000/episode? That's why I'm not entirely judgemental of people that sell dope.

    Outlaw, I've decided there are two kinds of people; those who can take it, and those who can't. Those who can't stand living without a single big box store, hemmed in by snow and bad roads, just won't cut it. Me, I live to greet the glorious mountains. Right now, there's a wonky range to the southeast that is backlit by the rising sun every morning.

    When I go to the city, I expect to run in to someone I know around every corner. There are traffic lights. There is traffic.

    Thank you for biting, TS. This one gives me a weird feeling all around. Is this the woman at the well....preparing for her fifth wedding day? Well, yes, I guess on modern terms, she would be allowed to wear white.

    It is mediocre to me. Most contemporary Christian art I see is of poor quality. I would prefer it "campier."

    I saw Warhol's Last Supper and some Jesus work by Dali recently.

    I don't see why the visual arts and music can't be as good as during the Renaissance while still being Post-Modern. The art appears to reflect the worship.

    Perhaps I am overreacting to my local Christian store - the epicentre of bourgeois mediocrity.
