this is my church. LOL _____________ Happy Easter! This is a short note to bring you up to date on some cool publicity that we are getting. Thursday morning I was tinkering around in my office and came across an e-mail list for Houston press outlets that I had for our Darfur event back in January. Since it was easy to send out a mass Media Release, I decided to send out a picture of Cheesus to see if there was any interest out there. In case you are out of the loop, Cheesus is the cheeto that looks like Jesus that I found about four years ago. I know it sounds crazy, but it really does look like a profile of what we perceive Jesus to look like complete with praying hands and him kneeling. Cheesus sits in a plastic case in my office. Anyway, we got some good response. The first request that I had was to be on the radio at 6:20 am Friday morning. That interview went well I think (click here to hear it). We also appeared in a feature on Channel 11, on the Thursday night news after the basketball games. We are on the Channel 13 website and sent more pictures to eldianet, a Spanish speaking website and newspaper. Check out more info and links on our youth website. www.mdumcyouth.org. We will keep loading links as we get more and more places showing Cheesus. We are having fun with this while at the same time, I love having people talk about God on the news and internet. I have made it clear with everyone I have talked with that I am not making light of people who see religious images in random places. I know God does reveal Himself in many, many ways. He does it through nature, through people, through music and word, and through other things. As I say in the video, I am not sure God makes cheetos that look like Jesus, but God is ever present in our lives and in the world. I want you to help us spread the love about Cheesus. Send the links to your friends and relatives all over the world. If you hear about other places that Cheesus shows up, let me know. (mdumcyouth@yahoo.com) We are going to load the video on youtube to send it to the masses. We are also planning on selling t-shirts from our website. I will let you know when we are up and running ready to sell. All money from sales will go for overseas missions. Can you imagine how many shirts we might could sell and how much money we could raise for Darfur, and/or Nothing but Nets, and more?? Who knows? We might decide to sell Cheesus on Ebay. If we can get some unreasonable money to do something reasonable in the world, lets do it.

Go, Jesus! Who was it that said any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right. I don't know about some of the world's gods, but I firmly believe mine has a great sense of humor. If you don't believe me just look at a camel, giraffe or a whole lot of people I know...me included. LOL!

Pamy, sort of like Cotton Hill (the grandfather on King of the Hill). He had his shins shot off in the war, so he's stubby like that

I just think it's hysterical. I love our youth minister's perspective too.
