...and that's when Jesus flipped out...
Oh, crap. I had a bunch of good dreams all strung together in a continuous mix of themes... and I only wrote down one of them!

Dream:
I was chilling out with Jesus in a park, and an architect or contractor approached us and said he had just finished building a church and would like to give Christ a tour and see how he liked it. It was suddenly right next to us, I can't tell you how it got there so fast without me noticing. It was a very simple cruciform structure, but a boring shade of brown. It looked a little stupid to me, and I think it might have been made out of cardboard, but I knew that Jesus would say that the appearance of a church does not matter as much as the hearts of the people part of it, or something like that.
The tour began of course outside of the church.
"Here is where I built the nativity set," said the architect as he pointed out the miniature figurines underneath a cardboard hut, built into the exterior wall of the Chancel. Jesus took one look at it and I could see the disapproval on his face when he turned to the architect. His expression alone was asking,
"What in the name of my father is THAT doing there?" but instead he decided to move on and asked, "where's the door?"
We were led into the church through a very short and narrow door on the side of the Transept. Jesus and I had to duck and bend the cardboard inwards a little to squeeze through. Inside the church looked even smaller because the Narthex took up half the space, with another narrow doorway into the Nave.
...and that's when Jesus flipped out...
He started to tear down the cardboard walls between the Nave and Narthex, so I helped him. The architect was dumbfound, for good reason I suppose but I guess he had it coming.
We moved on to tear down the wall of the Chancel. I used a knife to cut through the cardboard walls and my buddy Christ and I pushed the wall down and out, flattening the pathetic nativity on the outside of the wall. Then a bunch of people came to help make the place even better than the architect did.
