April Newsletter: Signs from God


Dear Reader,

Only God can make a sheep? Not any more. There's now an alternative to being born-again, you can be cloned. This latest scientific success drew heated debate from the Christian Right. Yes, the sheep are nervous.

March was a busy month. We completed our site redesign just in time for Easter. It was a HUGE job but there's lots of new, fun stuff so look around.

In addition to the redesign I made a pilgrimage to Idaho, my home state! I scored big time in the Christian tract, pamphlet and publication catagory. The thrift stores there were literally awash in amazing materials, much of which will be included in the Wrong Side of the Tracts.

I met with Dean Worbois, one of our features writers who was busy skiing, making stained glass, building model trains, working and carousing. And his hair still holds up!

All You Can Eat North's Chuck Wagon, a buffet restaurant on the outskirts of Nampa, famed for its hot dog bar, offered free dinner to anyone named Jesus. Considering the popularity of their all-you-can-eat fried fish sticks and wonder bread, free dinner is a small price to pay for the the possibility of a little miraculous intervention.

I also had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Robert Carr, the man behind Mac Jesus Pro Gold and other Christian-oriented games available through Lamprey Systems. I'll be posting the interview over in the news section one of these days.

But the highlight of my trip was the late night TV news report of a woman who claims that the face of the Virgin Mary appears in her screen door. One of the PostFun elders suggested she was actually seeing the "Virgin Moireé".

Between buffet dinners, screen doors and petrie dishes it was a big month for signs from God. Dean Worbois reminded me that the wonders of God are all around us. And indeed, the first tenet of PostFundamentalist Press is, "We seek no signs." Sometimes a screen door is just a screen door. Remember, only God can make a coincidence.

With love,

Poppy
