my own, personal....

 Yes, I know the song Personal Jesus is not LITERALLY about Jesus; it's about taking a human person (I think the original was supposed to be about Elvis?) and casting them in a role no human can fill. 

But I admit I thought it when I saw my first-ever instance of the Tiny Jesus phenomenon in public

 This is something I had heard about: it's possible to purchase tiny (like, 1" tall) cartoonish little figures of Jesus (and yes, yes, He looks far too Northern European here, of course). The standard procedure seems to be you ask someone if they could "use a little Jesus" and then you hand them one.

I admit, I'd find it cute and I'd probably answer "always" if someone asked if I could use a little Jesus, but I also don't know that I'd take so kindly to it if I weren't a Christian already. (So: maybe better as a thing for people you already know ARE, rather than an evangelism thing)

And yeah, I'd happily accept a tiny Jesus if offered one, and probably keep Him on my desk at school.

This one is fairly typical of the ones I've seen in pictures: white robe, the sash is red. It's hard to read but it also has "Jesus (heart) You" on it. 

I spotted Him in the building where I teach on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the person had left Him (as you can see) on one of the fire-alarm pull boxes. So, not obvious, but I tend to notice things like that.

I left Him there; I don't know the etiquette of picking these up if you find them "in the wild," I had only heard of people offering them to others. And who knows, maybe someone else who passes by needs Him more than I do. 

But it was a nice little.....if I can say it? *Easter* egg for my day. 

I also taught lab this afternoon; the last few violets were out and I got a decent photo of one while the students were trying to catch insects for our samples
