I remember seeing Pastor Robert Tilton preaching on a small black and white TV. We called him the Plastic Preacher Here’s a flickr photo set of things he mails to people… Interesting… Odd… Embarassing… I just can’t think of the right word for it.
Update: Oooh Ooh, I came up with the right word. It just happens to be the word of the day.

Just seeing his picture always made me feel uncomfortable.

I got something similar in the mail… but the “prayer cloth” was a piece of paper.

Perfect word.
Better watch out though, he/his could be reading your blog. Of course then you could politely discuss it over email then become respectable friends. That has been known to happen around here.

What a day. I watched hurricane Katrina destroy the gulf coast and now I find out the “Plastic Preacher” is still out there.
I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and start a new day.

Jami: I’ve written so many responses to your comment… but none of them get published… just asking for trouble. I’ll call you in the morning instead. Somethings are better left untyped.
