I'm always inspired by people who turn ideas into companies. Two brothers, John and Bert Jacobs have a t-shirt company (www.lifeisgood.com) that grossed $40 million in sales in 2005. That's alot of T-shirts! Almost all of their shirts have one message: "Life is good" with different designs. I love the simplicity! Bert said, "Life is good is the way we feel about the world." Of course, $40 million later they might want to change it to "Life is great." I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way because I've never been a "christian t-shirt" wearing person. But I'm amazed at how popular "conversational t-shirts" are and I'm wondering if Christians need to get in that game. I'm not talking about confrontational t-shirts or cheesy t-shirts. We've all seen too many of those. But I want to wear my faith on my sleeve in a way that represents Christ. Just a thought. Someone needs to design some cool fitting clothes that have a positive message. God is good would be a decent start. I've even thought twice about turning some of our core values into conversational t-shirts. They might strike up some redemptive conversations.
