Dan did this great embroidered burning bush on my man purse. He came up with the image by combining a bush from the old school Nintendo game, Super Mario Brothers with one of the fireworks explosions you see when Mario jumps off the stairs onto the flag pole. Pretty ingenious, I think.

The burning bush was an image often used by the protestant reformers to picture Divine Revelation, the Word of God. It is all about kerygma.

Super Mario Brothers is just really freakin' awesome.

I totally dig the combination. Thanks Dan, you are the man.
