Jesus called me at 5 a.m. in the morning in September of 1969 to carry the cross across America.

A gun, on a cross with a wheel, now that is one strange metaphore!

Jesus is really fucking rude. If you're going to ask for a pointless errand, have the decency to call after 8 (10 on a weekend). Poor Arthur probably thought his mom was dying or something.

There's a guy that walks the Oregon coast with a cross, all summer long. I don't know if this is the same guy. I saw him twice last year and noticed a couple amusing things:
1) his cross has a 20" bike wheel attached at the bottom. If you're going to sacrifice and struggle, I really think dragging the cross is part of the point.
2) the underside of the cross he rested against his shoulder was heavily padded. Again with the lack of sacrifice. It's supposed to be hard and difficult.
Again, not sure if it's the same guy, but certainly someone from the same genre of modern day re-enactors.

The leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember
In September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain
------ harmonica solo ------
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain
That September in the rain.

This guy does have a wheel too, but I don't know if it's a bike wheel.

Double post, and a mediocre one compared to the original.

With the orbital cross, would I get good reception of all christian channels on my TV?

I think it's great. Carrying the cross is a metaphor that Christians do every day. The more you tell us to fuck off, the more we carry it.
The guy uses it to evangelize.
Now get the chip off your shoulders and leave him alone.
