It's been a long time since Mess has served y'all a cup of California Crazy blend, mostly because we feel so bad for the state with all it's awful problems. But when we heard about the new DOG CHURCH in Los Angeles we had to brew up a whole pot! When the Rev. Tom Eggebeen took over as interim pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church three years ago, he looked around and knew it needed a jump start.
Most of his worshippers, though devoted, were in their 60s, attendance had bottomed out and the once-vibrant church was fading as a community touchstone in its bustling neighborhood.
So Eggebeen came up with a hair-raising idea: He would turn God's house into a doghouse by offering a 30-minute service complete with individual doggie beds, canine prayers and an offering of dog treats. He hopes it will reinvigorate the church's connection with the community, provide solace to elderly members and, possibly, attract new worshippers who are as crazy about God as they are about their four-legged friends. That's cool. God is Dog spelled backwards, isn't it? But, I must ask, what about my little Sylvester? Where can I take my SINFUL PUSSY to worship?

Your sinful pussy has balls the size of Detroit! And he is ALWAYS licking them! He would be bad at church!
