Slacker?

I'm not going to delve into any deep religious issues here but I wanted to take a moment to point out the bumper sticker I saw today:

So am I to understand that it's important to 'LOOK BUSY' ie. give the appearance like you've BEEN doing the Lord's work, when in reality you've spent the better part of your life as a slack-ass... But NOW... Oh hey, looky there... Jesus just pulled up and he's gettin' ready to walk in the office and BOY is he going to be pissed when he finds you with your feet up on the desk, texting your BFF and taking extended coffee breaks, even though that 'Sacred Blessings' account is due tomorrow.

Here's an idea! How 'bout you do the job you're supposed to do, whether or not some all powerful entity is looking over your shoulder?

And then our very Catholic Aunt gave us the evil eye...

We're not very religious... Okay, I once was but after being brought up in a household filled with feigned piousness and blatant hypocrisy, I decided to worship the God I believed in, in my own personal and private way.

Then we had kids and while our kids asked questions every now and again, they never asked to learn more through attending church... any church... ever.

So roughly 8 yrs. ago when we attended the Catholic wedding of our cousin, we shouldn't have been surprised when our daughter walked into the church and upon seeing the 9 ft. tall wooden crucifix hanging at the front of the church she turned to us and said, "What's with the creepy looking guy on the giant 'T'?"

Our daughter learned about Jesus during the car ride on the way to the reception.

My husbands aunt continues to pray for all our souls.
