“At one time we were wicked, but…he Saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior…” That’s by way of explanation, but I’m not really sure what we’re explaining. Except there are sure as heck a lot of these […]
Honestly, there isn’t a lot of awful drek out there for Hanukkah. Which, you know, isn’t a bad thing. It’s almost as though somewhere in vast legacy of interpretations of the Talmud someone said “And here, what Moses is really saying, is holidays are special, for the family. Don’t make plastic crap of them, okay?” So […]
Even if. You know. There was that terrible accident. It’s hard to read the Savior’s expression here, although I am digging on the hair. On the one hand, total 60s American folk singer look, with that strangely leonine hair and beard. Although if you just kind of put your hand over the picture he looks […]
In heaven, every angel gets a lovely pearl-studded sea urchin when they go on their first flight. It’s actually a sweet little ceremony, unless they, like, misjudge the distance and velocity or something. Which happens, and usually makes Elysium’s Funniest Home Videos every time. Maybe that’s not a sea urchin. It’s got a certain aquatic life form happening, […]
Look! Up in the sky! There’s a lot going on here. We’ve got flying Jesus with searchlight halo.  We’ve got a VERY WEIRD deformed monkey foot thing happening, as if Jesus’s leg was really more of a semi-vestigial hand and arm growing from out His posterior, and I apologize for that image. We have pectorals SO […]
Easter’s just around the corner, and that means that I’ll be flooding thrifthorror with bunny pics. But first, a moment of quiet reflection on Sad Jesus. I did a little research–very little–my limited, broken Spanish told me that “St Christo de Limpias” was “Clean Jesus,” not Sad Jesus, though there were some gender and quantity […]
We are not here today to make fun of someone else’s religion. Unless their current manifestation of the divine has HUGE STARING EYES, in which case perhaps we are. Granted, no god translates well as a marionette (unless they already came with an operating cross, and they’re probably tired of that joke, thank you very […]
A hush fell over the store. A timeless moment, almost–dare I say it? Sacred. His radiance was like a beacon, a lighthouse guiding me through Accessories and Women’s Uniforms/Vests/Outerwear. It pulsed, flaring in time with his heart. There are times when, if you’re lucky, you will catch a glimpse of the Transcendent in Savers. Sometimes […]
This sculpture makes me a bit uncomfortable. Naked angels usually do, you can’t really have that much dignity without some pants, at least a flimsy robe or a strip of gauze or something. But something about this is more blatantly naked than I’m ready for. Also, the poor thing is wrapped tightly around a massive […]
Jesus loves you, even if you’re a weird combination of hummingbird and Orson Wells. Or at least, he’ll give you an awkward kind of side-arm hug before he finds an excuse to be elsewhere in a hurry, but you have to take those little scraps of human contact where you can, and maybe cobble together […]
