This almost makes me want to use foul language like DARN and PHOOEY. Oops, I just did.


I had to go to Long Island today and the LIRR passed by many lovely decorations in honor of our Saviour's upcoming birthday (Praise Him!). However, we passed by one home whose blasphemous display made me want to exit the train and destroy it immediately.


It all began so Biblically - there were three wise men, holding gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. There were donkeys and cattle and sheep and goats and straw and angels and Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and in the manger was - what????? A SHREK BABY. SHREK? Our LORD JESUS depicted as an ogre? I looked closer and there behind Joseph stood SANTA. Right beside Santa was an inflatable Grinch, three reindeer bobbing their heads up and down as if giving unnatural s-e-x-u-a-l acts. And then an inflatable adult Shrek, dressed in red and green with the words "Happy Holidays!" emblazoned on his shirt.


I started praying and asking God to curse that home, much to the chagrin of my fellow passengers. On the return trip, I wrote the house number down and I plan to enlist the help of some brothers at church to visit the home and ask the owners to more accurately display the true scene, with all those extra characters removed. Jesus should be as He was: blonde, blue eyed, white skin, and full of joy and wonderment. I would appreciate your prayers. If the owners won't cooperate, I will circulate a petition to the neighbors and ask the town board to have the scene taken down immediately.


I'm surprised Snoopy or Charlie Brown wasn't in the mix, with Snoopy's doghouse all aglow and Charlie's miserable tree drooping over our Saviour.


COME LORD JESUS!
