The Devil is in the Details
When I first saw the sign below I had one thought: God believes in Adverse Possession (Squatting).
Say it with me, OCEAN: Open, Continuous, Exclusive, Adverse and Notorious. Sorry, law school residual.
Then when I took the photo another thought struck me: God believes in Breaking and Entering. Obviously law school can really mess you up because everything you see evokes concepts and principles that you spent three years and an outrageous amount of money learning.
And then, of course, the dirty connotation occurred to me. Perhaps we could call it the sex offender's defense. Can't blame law school for that one. Maybe this church needs to look beyond the intended meanings of their sign and be more aware of the double entendres they're putting out there, but where's the fun in that?
Yeah...breaking and entering...that's totally where my mind went too. It DEFINITELY didn't go to something else involving spaces, and...entering them...
I've got problems.
Sounds kinda dirty to me. But then, that's just me.
Breaking and entering didn't occur to me, LOL!
The sign got your attention, and got you thinking, so I guess it's a success ;)
"God does B&E work," that was my first thought. And then I read further and kept picturing God as a dirty vagrant squatting in abandon churches and pushing his belongings in a shopping cart...and I laughed. This is probably why I'm going to burn in the flames of eternal damnation.
So, I guess locked doors wouldn't help then.
I love those signs, sometimes they just don't think.
So god's all "The way I see it dude, it's our space".
MonsteRawr ~ you're in good company.
12ontheinside ~ me too.
Kila ~ it got my attention alright!
Kanigget ~ great imagery, keep it up, and pack shorts for eternity.
Karmyn ~ I'll agree and bite my tongue rather than say what came to mind.
Eric ~ I think god believes in Manifest Destiny too.
darn it mark... you showed up on bloglines for awhile, and now you don't.
I'm with you. That sign is ridiculous.
God makes space. We enter it by choice.
I have to get a godspace account! I think he also inhabits the garages betwixt 11th and 12th, and Duluth and Summit.
Speaking of which, they are razing the neighborhood. Whee!! Stay tuned to the neighborhood blog for further details: www.pettigrewheights.blogspot.com. :)
Yeah I thought dirty right away.
