Enough is Enough...

Eggos, you have gone to far...
I was shopping @ Giant Eagle the other day and look what I found...Hannah Montana Eggos. If you look closely the Eggos have been printed on with logos or slogans like "Part Time Pop Star" and the like.
I remember going to Grandma's house and making Eggos for my Grandpa as he came back from working 3rd shift. We would pop them in the toaster and then slather them with butter and syrup - making sure we filled every square. But look what happened...where are the squares? The good folks at Hannah Montana turned them into edible message disks ready to combine attempts at a healthy meal with a marketing campaign.

This has got me thinking...is everything potential advertising space? What does this mean for us the church? Are there places that are too meaningful to be associated with a well-crafted pitch or is our entire life a commercial for something? Take a look @ John 13:35 and let's explore this further.

Peace, BJS
