I'm amazed at the kind of things that get by me, sometimes. This is old news, I suppose, but anything that brings me a hearty laugh is usually worth passing along, even if you've already heard about it.
Here's a brief quote from a 2003 USA Today article on the Rev. Dorian Baxter of Toronto's Christ the King, Graceland Anglican Independent Church of Canada:
"The church doesn't have official status, so contributions are not tax-deductible — at least not yet. But how many other services include Elvis gospel tunes or a rendition of Blue Suede Shoes with the lyrics 'Well, it's one for the Father, two for the Son, three for the Holy Spirit, and your life has just begun. You can do anything but don't turn Jesus away?'"
There's a "Jesus has left the building" joke in here somewhere, but I should really get back to work.

I don't know if anyone's wondered, but you may have noticed I've deleted a few comments here and there (for example, the one above). For some reason I've been getting blog spam..."anonymous" post comments with marketing messages and links to other sites, et cetera. Annoying.
My favorite line: "If the Lord is not behind this, it's not going to go. I don't want this to be focused on me or Elvis."
You don't want...huh? Man, look at yourself!
Jesus plus Elvis equals.....
Blue suede Jews?
