The Winner Is…

The winner of the first LifeMatters contest is “They call me co”. His entry was received and no one was able to knock him off the top rung. For those of you who don’t know or remember the contest I am speaking of, I asked a simple question. “When could using your Bible be a bad thing?” His answer was this: You’re right! A person being forced to use a Bible is never a negative thing, unless…As you are leaving church, you and a friend are dive-bombed by a lone, kamikaze African Honey Bee. Knowing that your friend is allergic, you are heroically forced to swat the bee out of the air with your NIV. Well, unbeknownst to you, bees release a scent when in danger to attract other bees. And before your friend has time to sigh a “thanks buddy,” the reinforcements arrive attacking with the fury of a thousand suns. That could be one way that the phrase “I had to use my Bible” would be negative. [The story is fictional. No African Honey Bees nor any friends were actually injured in such an event.]

Although the Ferris Bueller references pulled the second place winner close, the “fury of a thousand suns” and the disclaimer at the end did it. Funny story! All you need to do now to claim you incredible t-shirt is email me with your real name and mailing address. I hope you check this site more than once a month.

And now onto the second contest. This time we have the graphics for our newest t-shirt. Your job is to come up with something funny, serious, spiritual, or even ridiculous, whatever, that could be used to describe this shirt. I will give you the background briefly and turn you loose. This shirt was created as part of a joint project we are doing with a ministry called Mocha Club. This is the shirt you will receive if you join the Threads Mocha Club. You can click here for more info. The desire is for us to give up one trip to Starbucks each month and join a group of us help the Sudan region. This is a fantastic project and a worthwhile use of a few dollars a month. Here is the shirt and here is the official meaning, kind of. We wanted to use two of our Threads markers as part of why we are involved with Mocha Club. The two markers here are responsibility (the water bottle) and depth (the tree). The equations is to show that those two things together lead to hope. Now your job is to either make it funny or serious but make it your own. Winner will get on of these shirts hot off the press.
