The Passion has certainly brought the money changers back into the Temple.

At least they are funny this time around. Some of them at least.

Nest, the quarterly interior design magazine, #24 is entitled, Decorating the Christian Home. Cut in a fabulous leaning rectangle Nest takes a serious, tongue-in-cheek look at the space created when religion and design overlap.

The color chart on the back is priceless. Such classics as "Heaven Scent" and "My Angel" are joined by new and delightful hues like "Please Don't Tell Satan" and "Succubus." The suggestive "David and Jonathan" and ironic "Job's Delight" are my favorites, but, given my autumn complexion, "The Sins of Solomon" would likely suit me best.

Other highlights: the "Ten Commandments of Decoration" and the phenomenal full page comic comparison of "Our Family Values" and "Their Family Values."
