On reading the newspaper

I'm supposed to read the newspaper 15 minutes a day for my journalism class at school. Right. Anyway today I actually did it and I read a news brief and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Apparently, some artist in New York sculpted a giant Jesus out of chocolate. Now my guess is that this wasn't some unique act of worship, but I suppose it may have been. I don't know. Well anyway, this guy was supposed to display this thing last year, but he couldn't because some Catholics got really upset, because it was during Easter time. Now in the grand scheme of things, I guess how I feel about this guy's "artwork" isn't really going to affect anything; however, I at least need to know how I feel about it. While reading I was torn between wanting to laugh out loud and becoming very angry. On the one hand, I think it's kind of disrespectful. Although it is kind of amusing to me, like something out of the twilight zone, because of the conversation Hannah and I had at church a while ago.

STORY!! In big church, pastor Brad was talking about how some people crave chocolate, and how we should be craving Jesus instead. I wrote to Hannah on my program, "Is it wrong to crave a chocolate covered Jesus?" I was totally kidding. She laughed out loud and we kept joking about a chocolate Jesus the rest of the day.

You don't have to tell me, I know. It's pretty weird. I guess I'm psychic...no not really.

Also in today's paper was a story about a polygamist in the Middle East. If you haven't heard my rant about polygamy, I'll paraphrase it for you: It's gross. It's stupid. Those people are gross. Those people are stupid. How can anybody think that's okay?

Anyway, this guy as eight wives and like sixty some odd kids.

See, this is why I don't read the paper.
