Jesus Is My Homeboy Too

We recently spent a weekend with the kids at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Normally we shy away from theme parks being Floridians but we had a free pass so it made sense to take the kids. The weekend we picked was the very last weekend available to us to use our pass. Little did we realize that it was also the same weekend of Rock the Universe 2009, a Christian music festival billed as "A Weekend of Music and Thrills That'll Rock Your Soul." Thousands of kids and families from hundreds of youth groups around the country were there to rock their sandals off.

What I found so surprising was that the kids were so proud of their Christianity and their faith that they felt compelled to put it on their t-shirts. Here is a sample of some of my favorites:

• Jesus Did It (in the same font of the Nike, Just do it logo)


• Jesus Loves Me and My Tattoos (if you'd seen her tattoos, you might wonder)


• God is My Hero (with the same font as Guitar Hero and the guitar fret--copy write infringement?)


• Satan Sucks (I'm sure he does)


• Hii died for Mii (and something that looked like a Wii)


• Jesus is my Homeboy (a classic that never goes out of style)


• got jesus? (yup, and milk too)


• Killed in the Line of Duty (my personal favorite as it had the police chalk outline of Jesus on the Cross--very creative)
  

So, overall a fun weekend at Universal and who doesn't love watching pimply kids from Oklahoma rocking out, hands held high in the air to "Trust in the Lord." I know I do.
