not gonna work

after a little personal deliberation, i just don't think this will work. i like it - a lot - and i don't mind if a few church folks get ruffled feathers...but i don't believe that every parent will end up sitting down every impressionable child and explain to them what the image is really about. and i don't want to be responsible for normalizing heroine in the mind of a little kid.

anyway - here it is

    thanks for posting it here, i really feel in my gut the aspect of Jesus' sacrifice it brings up. the metaphor of a heroine addict so desperately needing a fix, his body screaming for it, really paints a brutal and powerful picture of our need for Christ.

    even more than i appreciate your relevance, creativity, and originality, i appreciate the discernment you are exercising by choosing to not use this image in fusion. good call bro, for the reasons you listed.

    so after reading the story with Jake I just needed to find said poster. I agree with Tim M but am also jealous of him looking so intelligently sexy and all i send up on my avatar is my boy looking goofy! (in truth, i'll take goofy! i'm not ready to use the kind of photo common to a back sleeve bio!!)
