L is for lips














Chapped lip season is right around the corner, and I recommend Lookin’ Good for Jesus lip balm, available in virtuous vanilla. Notice that the product advocates three tenets very near and dear to Jesus’ heart: “Be worthy,” “Be noticed,” and “Get ready.” What do you mean, you haven’t heard any of those? You’re not familiar with Jesus’ “be noticed” campaign? They’re paraphrasing, okay? Those might not’ve been his exact words, but they’re close enough. So maybe he didn’t say “get ready.” He might’ve said “be prepared.” (or was that the Boy Scouts?) In any case, if it’s good enough for lookin’ good for Jesus, it’s good enough for your lips.

As you undoubtedly observed, these not-particularly-wholesome women are trying to look good for Jesus wearing rather heavy eye make-up. He’s not interested and turns his gaze heavenward (or he could be wondering how that little hole appeared above his head). Jesus doesn’t want you to wear a lot of face paint and tart it up; he just wants a little vanilla flavor on your soft lips. And who wouldn’t want to look good for this Jesus? He’s certainly lookin’ mighty good for us.
