The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

- H.P. Lovecraft (Chapter 1, Call of the Cthulhu)

For a wonderfully snarky time, you need to check out crummychurchsigns.com. I made my first contribution to their collection!

I’m sure everyone has driven by at least one crummy church sign in their life. You know, the kind that make you cringe. Or maybe the kind you just stare at trying to figure out what in the world they mean. I suspect that traffic accidents go up proportionately around crummy church signs.

So this one here was so bizarre, Colleen and I had to turn around and go back. And then I got out and snapped it with my cell phone…

What in the world could this sign possibly have to do with a church? Peter Pan was a great book and all, but St. Vincent would probably roll over in his grave to see such trite sentiments attached to his name.

I’ll avoid ranting about how trite churches are in this country. Really I will. :-)

So if you’re in a snarky mood and would love to see crumminess discovered all over the world, check out crummychurchsigns.com. And don’t forget to think lovely thoughts…
