Flannel graphs!!! I loved flannel graphs! So much fun. 

You know, you have some good points. I personally never went for The Message bible because I felt (at the time, at least) that it made a joke out of the Holy Scriptures. It made them seem...well...normal. And scripture isn't supposed to be normal. It's supposed to be hard to understand and more formal than tea with the Queen of England. 

But you bring up some valid points. Food for my thoughts.


(Also, am I the only one who thinks the Jesus in the featured photo looks like a girl with a beard?)
