high hopes in velvet ropes. [167]

a 6-story Jesus statue in ohio was struck by lightning.
the pastor's wife said it was a "beacon of hope."
apparently, they want to rebuild it.
use $300,000 to rebuild an obvious fleeting statue.
personally, investing that much money in a statue is not promoting hope. it's holding it back.
what if they used the money to reach out to the community and providing ways to accommodate the needs of those around the church.
we waste so much money on appearances.
no wonder people hate Christians.
i'll say it again.
people will know we're Christians by our actions, outreach and love, not our expensive statues.
