A Knock on the Door

This morning there was a knock on our door. Adam (shirtless) answered the door. These two women were on the steps and they were really excited about some book called the Bible. Me and Adam told them that, yes, we had heared of it, and no, we didn't think it was all that spectacular. They kept wanting to talk. They asked us if we believed in God. Adam mentioned that he studys evolution at the University of Connecticut and he thinks it does a pretty good job of explaining things. I agreed. They didn't seem very convinced by this and asked if they could bring us a book about creation. We said ok, if it will make them happy. I don't think they ever did come back with that book.

It reminds me of the time someone sent me a prayer rug in the mail. It wasn't really so much of a rug....more like a piece of paper that claimed to be a rug. It also claimed to be "soaked with the power of prayer", which is presumeably what powered the little jesus optical illusion printed on it. Frankly I was insulted...this tiny piece of paper had the audacity to call itself a rug! The imposter rug also came with a prayer order form. There were boxes for things like: "A New Car", "A Money Blessing", "Pray for God to Bless me with this amount of money $_____". It all seemed pretty fool proof....I mean..there were personal accounts of good fortune and everything. But I'm still too insulted by the phony rug....they even insisted we send it back! Yea Right!
