Mine is not an exceptional experience, but you may find it interesting.

For many reasons, I left Seminary and the Ministry in 1966. I entered the health field, but found that I had a great longing for a Church, both for me, and my new family. In 1972 I wandered into an Episcopal Church where I found a great deal of love, without a great deal of "hell fire and brimstone". That was the most Serendipitous day of my life, and after 28 years, find myself a leader and minister in that church. Through that time I wished to show the positive side of Christianity, and found your Postcard size "Jesus Laughing", which I have shared with others as a way to reinforce the positive in Christianity.

This past February, after searching several stores for this print again, I happened across a stack of the Postcards at a booth operated by Christ Church Bookstore in Little Rock at the annual state Convention. Although I am disabled, and have a very limited income, I purchased every one on the table (at 50cents each), but a crowd gathered around, amazed at my excitement, and I had to share with others who had not seen the cards, but fell in love with them. So I only got 6. But I have used them in my ministry to whomever had trouble with the poor anemic northern Italian Jesus that we see all too much of.

The cards have been a blessing to me, and to many others, I have sent them all out but one, to people who are searching their way in other states.

There is only one picture that I consider better, and will follow your links to find it. But that little inexpensive postcard packs a powerful punch with those who are disillusioned with the church.

I'm not so interested in a T-Shirt, as I am in wishing you much success, your print has a ministry.
