I present to you, Moses:
We owned a small house in Halifax when the girls were just babies so Moses was relegated to our bedroom. One night, very late, after everyone was asleep, the phone rang. Now I don't know about you but when the phone rings in the middle of the night, it scares me to death. Husband leapt out of bed in a single bound, ran to get the phone and smashed his toes into poor old Moses. He crashed to the ground with a resounding thud. ( Moses I mean.)
He's a garden statue for heaven's sake! However, he lives on in our living room. Broken but not defeated.
p.s. The husband's toes healed up nicely.

Hey...now you have two great statues...LOL
Glad your husband's ok!
I don't remember Moses playing baseball. Why does he have a baseball bat?
Maybe he parted the Red Sox, not the Red Sea.
there goes steve, beating me to it. poor moses isn't smelling the roses now is he?

Your husband deserves a Verse in the Bible!
Moses may have parted the Red Sea ... but your husband kicked Moses into parts! HiYa!
Does Moses have a baseball bat or a giant pickle?
You people are crazy!!! That's why I love you.
At least this post means there aren't new broken items, like a certain tea pot!
He's beautiful - I even like him cloven. It reminds me a little of this sculpture out the front of the State Library in Melbourne:

I'm on Stephen's team; I don't think it's Moses. The bible is a giveaway. Moses would have tablets, not a book. I've been googling "Saint holding bible and baseball bat" but no luck. St. Rita is the patron saint of baseball but something tells me that's not St. Rita. I would swear that it's Jesus but my mother always said that Jesus doesn't like swearing so I won't go there. I think it's just Generic Religious Dude.
I hope he is enjoying half time. Sorry dumb joke. You have fun posts by the way.
love this series!!
Best series in Blogland!
Praise be that you weren't leaping out of bed after a pot of tea! It looks to me like a bible but I think the bat is a smoting stick with which one smotes things. I must get one for the bush turkeys. Then I could make a smote tote. It is late here in Australia, Deb and I have too many children!
with a little glue moses should be up to bat and preaching the word in no time. glad to hear your husband healed well.
blessings,

Annie has the best idea and I'm going to smote some of you "funny guys" with the smoting stick!
Could it be St Patrick with the club with which he did smote snakes and bad Irish children?
I think St Patrick preferred to execute his smoting with a staff and always wore a pointy bishop's hat. This is indeed a mystery. Could it be Forrest Gump when he is tired of running and needs a crutch?
St Jude, Deb! He was often depicted with a club and/ or epistle and is the Patron Saint of Lost Causes. Could this be relevant to the broken- item- of- the- week series and his own statue's resultant martyrdom?
Annie, I think you've got it! I still say you need your own blog.
She does need her own blog! She has material galore, and she could do it easily!
Okay MMMC, let's have a sit in!
It is precisely the material galore that stops me from getting anything done but you have planted the seed...
I'd recommend using an adhesive glue to fix him up. I use Instantbond.com to fix all sorts of broken items, specially crockery.
