Um ... I happen to REALLY like the Bobble Head Jesus ... I own two of my own, and I have a plastic Jesus with "silent glider wheels" AND posable arms ...

If we take ourselves too seriously we're in serious trouble ...

I agree, we often take our lives too seriously. It is always good to have fun and laugh.

When it comes to our Lord, however, it is important to remain awestruck by His presence. Sometimes 'bobbleheads' and Jesus paraphernelia can make us take Him too lightly so that He can't have a serious impact on our lives.

I don't mean to insinuate that you mean to take Him lightly, just a thought from my own experience.
