Blog reader, Omar, sent this Tennessean<\/em> article to me. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n

It was Riley West\u2019s fourth and final shot of insulin of the day. Riley\u2019s grandfather sat beside the 5-year-old and gave her the shot, and he reached for the box of bandages.<\/p>\n

Scooby-Doo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cIt just dawned on me, we pray for healing at home and we pray for healing at church,\u201d Tim West said. \u201cWhy are we putting Scooby-Doo on something so serious?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seriously, SCOOBY-DOO?!\u00a0 That’s just a codename for Satan’s canine. Who wants to put a picture of one of Satan’s pets on their grandchild’s boo boos.<\/p>\n

\n

West decided consumers needed bandages with healing Bible verses written on them.<\/p>\n

That night, West and his wife discussed ideas, drew sketches and came up with the name Band Angels.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How much research did West really do? I mean, it would have only taken a short Google search to discover that THESE JESUS\u00ae BANDAGES<\/a> already existed.<\/p>\n

But it’s this part of the feature that makes me laugh…<\/p>\n

\n

He couldn\u2019t find a U.S. manufacturer to make the bandages, so he turned to factories in South Korea and China.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

SUBTEXT: It was cheaper to create the bandages overseas.<\/p>\n

\n

The bandages are emblazoned with one of three verses: \u201cFor I am the Lord who heals you\u201d…<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus laid His hands on every one of them and healed them\u201d…<\/p>\n

And \u201cFor I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do these bandages heal the needle prick AND the diabetes? Or just the needle prick? I know, I know… I’m being a bit of a prick myself. But I have a point. To a 5-year-old who has seen Scooby-doo help “heal” her boo boos from needles, will she have any expectation that grandpa’s Jesus bandages will heal her from diabetes?<\/p>\n

I think there’s a mixed message here. Scooby-Doo only promises a grin or smile after the prick of a needle.<\/p>\n

The words of Christ promise much more…<\/p>\n

Oh, and Mr. West, am I able to get the angels in Asian?<\/p>\n
