Zombies

Pastor Jason made a comment during his sermon this week: “Jesus is the head of the church.” You know what image immediately popped into my head?

Zombies.

Probably because “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” keeps popping up on my reading radar…and a friend of mine just got a t-shirt that says “In the event of a zombie uprising, remember to sever the head.”

Yes, I know I need help.

But think about it for a second. The best way to kill a zombie is to cut off their head. They can be bleeding, oozing, dripping, dropping (basically they can be a mangled mess) -- and they will still keep going as long as they have their head.

I don’t know. I found this image oddly uplifting. Throw what you will at me. As long as I’m connected to my Jesus, I’ll be alright.

*bonus random moment. Tim Gunn meets Monty Python* It’s just a flesh wound. Carry on! Make it work.

Vine and branches are much more picturesque (and vibrant and stuff). But I had zombies on the brain this Sunday.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. ~ Galatians 2:20
