And the latest entry in the "so crazy it must be true" review is a nod to one of this year's thought-provoking (although little known) documentaries, "What Would Jesus Buy?" The flick, a docu-comedy with a mission to save Christmas from a "shopocalypse," takes aim at the commercialism of the holiday season.
And while I cannot claim to have seen said movie or even boast of a desire to see it, it has made me think a bit about my Christmas shopping plans. Would Jesus, whose birthday we honor on December 25, be maxing out a credit card at Best Buy to get the latest xBox game? Would He need more than a couple of pair of sandals, even if they were on sale? Doubtful.
Why is it our lives revolve around stuff? Giving stuff, getting stuff, wrapping stuff and generally worshipping... well, stuff.
What would Jesus buy? Thoughts?

I think Jesus would buy WWJD bracelets in mass to hand out on street corners.
Oh, and I think he'd buy my medical education. He kinda likes me. Don't know if you knew that or not.
