Easter Pretty Barbie
Jesus, God’s Son. My teenager reports that when you press a button, He intones the Our Father, among other things, in what she describes as a “hunky” voice. Hear Him speak John 3:16!
Mary Messenger of Faith. Also recites Bible verses.
These guys, in a box marked “Contains the Story of Moses.” Count the loaves and fishes in the basket belonging to the rather dumbstruck-looking . . . uh . . . latter-day friend of Moses.

“Chocolate-Covered Bunny’s.” Now . . . first I wondered how they got the “bunny’s” to hold still long enough to cover them with chocolate. Then I thought maybe they just dipped them, which would be not a tidy operation, but there are dedicated people out there willing to go to great lengths to do all kinds of things, so, you know . . .
But then I was informed that the “Chocolate Covered Bunny’s” sign also said, “Hollow!” So technically what we’re talking about here is “Chocolate-Covered Bunny-Shaped Air.” While supplies last.Cumulative [Rating: 34/100]
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
