Flying Buddha
Very very disappointed to find a jade buddha of wealth in my mom's room yesterday when I visited. I told her that I was taking it. Then I called later to make sure she was ok with me taking it away. After she said I could have it, I rolled down the window while driving 50 MPH near a canyon and hurled it out the window. I totally didn't try to do this, but a roadsign was coming up at the last second and the idol smashed into it! It broke into pieces and made a huge bang!!! Cool!
For those who may think I'm harsh, disrespectful, or extreme, you're right. Especially when it comes to idolatory. There are too many times in the OT when people stray from Him, and it is always bad. But I sat down with my mom the next night and gently shared my reasons for taking her Buddha. I spoke with truth, and love, as I would to my child, since this issue will inevitably surface in the future.
