Jesus was a Carpenter, May 2007

Taken outside of Bloomington, IN. This image of Christ with the thorn of crowns is a striking statement from the driver to other motorists. Contextually, the tool chest and ladders attached to the pick-up truck could create a parallel between the driver/owner of the vehicle and Jesus. Also, this image can serve as an identifier between the driver/owner and his clientele or other passing Christians. The driver cannot speak for his choice of decal but the image certainly can.

Ok, I was shopping with some of my friends and I found this at Starbucks . Each barista was asked to design their own cup around their personality and two of them focused on the Christian nature of the person. I think that's a very cool and courageous move. Specific to this picture, the 'Jesus Fish' on Amber's cup is a phenomena of the 20th century. It focuses on the solus Jesus movement (focusing only on the savior part of the trinity) and embodies the iconic representation to which religious iconography has been (in some cases) reduced.
