We’re going to give NCCers some tattoos this weekend. That’s a first. Thought it’d be a fun way to encourage people to chase the Goose. But I also think it’s a unique twist on Deuteronomy 6:4-9.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads . Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

The bottom line is this: we tend to remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember. So we need to find ways to keep things at the forefront of our consciousness. A temporary tattoo is one way of doing that.
