Hi--I'm trying to get in touch with the person who runs this blog... I'm writing a story about the traffic circle, and I see you've documented it! Please get in touch!! - Samiha
Posted by: Samiha at June 9, 2006 11:41 AMThis is very ungodly of me, but the juxtaposition of 'God wants your change' and 'Sanctuary behind house' smacks of some kind of nefarious goings on.
Posted by: marianne at June 10, 2006 06:32 PMYeah the
"Sanctuary Behind House" thing is questionable.
What is up with that? I suppose you have to travel past tropical murals on a conveyor until you get to the rotating knives.........
Ooh, I'll be seeing Marianne in H.E.double-hockey-sticks!
Christa -- I figured you were the last to dinner last week because you were busy taking pix of your favorite church board. Was I right, was I right, was I right? :-)

a good guess, phil, but no.
i have a new work schedule: i don't leave the station until 7pm. so now i'm late to everything. :-)
this particular church has, in the past, posted some rather money-grubbing signs. for example:

so my assumption was that this one was in the same spirit.
ray pointed out to me that perhaps they intended the sign to mean "god wants you to change". but they didn't say that, did they? so i think they're blatantly asking for my spare change. which bugs me.
Posted by: christa at June 12, 2006 09:57 AMWell, they could be working two meanings of "change" -- e.g., God wants you to change, AND he wants all your dimes and quarters. If it were strictly money-grubbing, why limit themselves to change? Maybe they just didn't have enough letters to spell "God wants your foldin' money".
My hat is off to Gidge for a deftly-deployed Monty Python reference. One hopes that the last part of the hall is heavily soundproofed.
