I had to attend a work-related retreat today
and the door to the main building of the compound in which it was held sported this big, beautiful hand carved image of Jesus.

It was positively GORGEOUS. He was dressed in a flowing robe, and surrounded by hand carved flowers. I wish I could find a picture. The workmanship was positively stunning.

The door had to be at least 10 feet tall.

Now look at the inside of the meeting room:

Think they are trying to tell me something?

8. I'd say there is A SUBTLE MESSAGE THEY ARE TRYING TO SEND
You'd better BELIEVE IT!

They might as well have hit you over the head with a cross or something. Maybe even checked your hands and feet for STIGMATA...

Wow.

10. I almost asked you if you were attending the same retreat
the s.o.'s Jesus freak boss is attending...at a place north of Houston *also* called The Woodlands. Until I saw where yours was. :)

Creepy either way. :scared:
