Broken Mirror Jesus Available on Etsy

This is the result of an idea i woke up with one morning. This sculpture started out as a pair of thermal pj’s. I had my nephew put them on and lay on the floor in the general form of jesus on the cross, he was then covered with duct-tape to hold his pose. The mold was then removed and i stuffed it with pages of phonebooks and pictures that represented the sins of the world torn from from magazines, this is too illustrate how jesus took upon him self our sins. I used a maniquin head to top it off. I mounted it to a cedar cross i made and used railroad spikes as the nails (by the way the nails where mentally as well as physically challenging). I then covered it with 1/8 inch broken mirror. I bought two hand made crown of thorns from jeruselem and soaked them in water, torm them apart and made them into one to give a heavier affect. And the result is amazing and emotionally moving from my 4 year old son to people I’ve never met, the reactions and comments are inspiring. Its not for sale unless the number was right. P.s. when light hits it it comes to life.

Bag of Randomness

  • Back in the fourth-grade when Rocky IV arrived in theaters I use to wear this shirt, and for some reason, I always felt it made me stronger, faster, tougher, taller, and Italian.
  • “I guess what I’m trying to say is, if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change.”
  • I’ve been addicted to Le Madeleine‘s “Chicken la Madeleine” but I find it hard to believe it is under 600 calories.
  • For his career, Joe Namath has thrown 43 more interceptions than touchdowns and yet he’s in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
  • HBO’s Game Change, the movie about the 2008 presidential election, will be aired in March and the first movie trailer was released yesterday.  I read the book, and it was one of those that I actually had a hard time putting down, and I’m one of those that find it hard to be interested in reading.
  • One Man Phantom of the Opera
  • Karen Borta on CBS 11 has the weirdest looking eyebrows, but I don’t think that’s what most men notice about her.
  • We decided on a name for our soon to be here son, and I wrote the following letter to WifeGeeding’s family informing them.  There’s probably some background I need to give, but for now, this is all you get.
  • It seems like every college states they are part of U.S. News and World Reports rankings, which makes me wonder exactly how honorable is the mention.
  • Great Emergency Instant Shelter
  • I think that Lea Michelle girl on Glee has a bunch of manly facial features.
  • Bush 41 and his son, the former Governor of Florida, visited the current president in the Oval Office.  It’s interesting to see Bush 41 in a wheel chair, but hey, the man is 87-years-old.
  • I remember back in elementary school when we would play with a parachute during PE.  My memory of that parachute is that it was the size of a house, but I bet if I could see it as an adult, it would be much smaller.
  • The weather in DFW has been great, like in the 70’s for the past two days.  It’s crazy how we couldn’t have this weather last year during the Super Bowl.
  • I bet Peyton Manning is doing just fine with his rehab, and all the stories of his struggles is just a way to force the Colts to cut him.
  • I think I heard that BB King will be playing in a nearby casino soon.  It would be cool to catch him at least once before, well, you know.
  • Something for my fellow 1310AM P1’s, you can thank me later . . .”

TLC plans on having a ‘Preacher Wives’ series

LC has announced plans to premiere PREACHER WIVES (wt), a candid look into the holy worlds of outspoken ladies who work to ensure that their churches run as smooth as Southern-churned butter.

“We are excited to work with TLC to profile the lives of these strong-willed women,” said Steven Weinstock, president of True Entertainment. “With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve.”

These larger-than-life women play a dynamic role in maintaining and expanding their devoted following. They manage day-to-day politics, help troubled or needy congregants and hire and fire staff. Some even step up to the pulpit to spread their own personalized sermons of inspiration and enlightenment. Viewers will also get a peek into their lives as mothers – seeing if they can strike a balance between being a parent and a respected public figure.

The standards are high and the expectations can be overwhelming, but these driven, spiritual women are on a mission to overcome challenges, break molds and expand their group of devotees.
