    At long last! We finally have them. We've decided to go with a new company for our merchandising that should be more efficient than before. The new website is here:

    www.higherthings.spreadshirt.com

     

    The shirts are available in red and blue currently. This site also offers more payment options than the eBay site did. And if you order by Thursday, it should be to you by Christmas!

    Please give me feedback on this new site and the shopping experience with it. Send me an email or reply to this post.

    Merry Christmas!

    Circumsicion of ChristI see a lot of parents here who have sons. I have a question for you. You celebrate your son's birthday every year, just like we celebrated Jesus' birthday last Sunday, right? Well, this Sunday we're celebrating the circumcision of Jesus, so why don't you have an annual celebration of that event for your son, hmm? Why don't you sing "Happy Circumcision Day to You" and bake a Circumcision Day cake and give him Circumcision Day presents, hmm?
