In case you didn’t hear, the iconic “Touchdown Jesus” (or “Big Butter Jesus”) that guarded the I-75 passage from Cincinnati to Dayton, OH, is but a skeleton of its former self.  In what is the stuff of blogger’s dreams, the 62-foot statue in front of Solid Rock Church in Monroe, OH, burned to ground Monday night after–ironically enough–being struck by lightning.

I was fortunate enough to be able to see Touchdown Jesus 6 days before this transpired.  It will be missed (probably not…).
