| Jesus: King of All Media |
Like any proud parents, Aaron and Jessica Cooper took lots of pictures of their daughter, Avarie, when she was born. Two weeks later, Jessica's sister called to say she'd spotted the face of Jesus in Avarie's baby blanket -- right next to the infant's cheek. Once they knew where to look, everyone in the family who had a copy of the cell phone photo agreed that, yep, that was Jesus in the baby blanket. Which means that either Avarie has peaked early or she's in for a lot of pain and suffering. Either way, it's cool.
See how heartwarming that story is? And what's great about it is not
just that the Lamb makes an appearance -- it's that he's not a snob
about it. He's not going to make you trek all the way out to the holy
land. Jesus will show up in your breakfast nook if that's what it takes.
That's what we like to call "the common touch," ladies and gentlemen.
You can't buy that kind of PR!
Jesus has been making himself into pieces of flair for 2,000 years, and
now it's a world of Facebook, Twitter and social networking. He knows
religion is viral, and he isn't about to lose market share.
