I hav...I agree that most often there is not harm... I have a few myself. What bothers me most is much of the marketing. Many of the shirts, wrist bands, hats, etc are overdone, poorly designed, and sometimes plain silly (not that silliness is all bad). I guess I wish they would hire "t-shirt writers" that knew a bit more about biblical truth. Also, in my circle, I see many that are just plain Jesus junk. Great thing about your sons, though; that's awesome.Laura Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920102860381840156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009936.post-1114137796876959992005-04-21T19:43:00.000-07:002005-04-21T19:43:00.000-07:00I linked onto you from Ingrid's slice of Laodocia....I linked onto you from Ingrid's slice of Laodocia. I am a teacher in Shiprock, NM. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't comment on her blog because I felt it was getting too negitive. I never liked labels, but I guess charasmatic evangelical pro-catholic might fit.<BR/>I'm responding about this whole Christian Tee Shirt thing. As my boys were growing up, most of their tee shirts were from a company called "living epistals"<BR/>we bought a bunch once a year at a Christian Festival in New York State called "Kingdom Bound". My sons attended the Christian School where I taught for 6 years and then we moved to Colorado. Soon after that we decided it was time for them to go "public". The one question I asked the principal was if there was a dress code. There was not. I said,"then there will be no trouble with them wearing Christian tee shirts to school" and there was no problem. They soon became known as the "Jesus Boys" but it was not a bad thing. Their tee shirts were a testamony and led to many good converstations and even a few "pagans" coming to church with us. Currently I am teaching in a public junior high on the Navajo Reservation. How I long to see a Christian tee shirt in the sea of black demonic images these kids adorn. I mentioned in my Children's Church class, that every one is wearing "Slipknot" and ICP tee shirts, but no Christian Tee Shirts. They asked "what is a Christian Tee Shirt?" If I ever get some money ahead, I think I'll go to the local Christian Book Store and buy a few. So what's the harm????Arthur Brokop IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347223269423770913noreply@blogger.com
