Smells like... Jesus?

While I'm driving, I hear many interesting things, but none so interesting as what I heard on Wednesday.

Apparently, now your house too can smell like the second coming of Christ. Or at least like what Christ is purported to smell like according to Psalms. ("All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia..." -- Psalm 45:8)

I didn't believe this at first, so I had to look it up, but apparently, some company is selling Jesus scented candles.

So, just in case you're not feeling as close to God as you used to, now you can close your eyes and imagine he's right there in your living room. As you ask him to solve world hunger and bring world peace, you can burn your custum-made candle (some of the proceeds from which benefit Christian organizations) and pretend he's sitting right there. You're never far from Christ when you're surrounded by "his essence."
