Armageddon in the Crayola Store

Our family headed out to Crown Center today, thinking the Saturday before Christmas was the perfect time to visit Santa. You'd think we were new parents or something. Anyway, Aliyah and I were checking out the Crayola Store while Dave was standing in line, and it was there that I saw it: a children's book entitled, "Who Can Open Michelangelo's Seven Seals?"

I laughed out loud, thinking that the author must not have ever read Revelation. Or, maybe he had, and this was evidence of a twisted sense of humor. So I picked up the book to see if it included a dragon (it did), or an evil villain (that too). Out of sheer curiosity, I almost bought the book, so maybe the title wasn't so ludicrous, after all.

Santa was great, by the way. He took time with each child, even complimenting Aliyah on her pink cowgirl boots. Our slices from De Bronx were good, too, so all in all it was a Merry day at Crown Center.

Well, to quote on of my favorite modern interpretations of the Kingdom to come, it is the day when "all the colors bleed into one..."
