At the New Christian Media Conference ….we were shown this clip in the Twitter seminar which is worth watching….
We were also shown this picture:
After the seminar we were asked the question: What Would Jesus Tweet? WWJT? I wonder….
I went with the Bishop fo Grantham to a Confirmation Service at St. George’s Church in Stamford. It was a great service and there was a time of sharing of faith…why the candidates had chosen to / been called to be confirmed within the service. Katrina shared this poem she had written:
Part The Curtains
Does not beauty shine forth behind the clouds? Does not light overrule the darkness? God’s light is like the sun above the clouds, Always present. And when the clouds part, does not a banner of hope come forth? A golden beacon, A candle in the dark. Does not a smile appear upon your face, At the sight of such beauty and hope? Don’t give up hoping, Don’t live in despair. Christ is watching from behind the clouds, Waiting for you to part the curtains, And embrace the light.By Katrina Sissins
I saw this the other day on TV and thought it was beautiful and powerful…
When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.
(chorus)
Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess well cry come first of may.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
(chorus…)
When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
Do do do do do do do do do…
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

Did Jesus use a modem, At the Sermon on The Mount? Did He ever try to broadcast fax, To send his message out? Did the disciples carry beepers, As they went about their route? Did Jesus use a modem, At the Sermon on the Mount? Did Paul use a laptop, With lots of RAM and ROM? Were his letters posted on BBS, At Paul@Rome.Com? Did the man from Macedonia, Send an E-mail saying “Come?” Did Paul use a laptop, With lots of RAM and ROM? Did Moses use a joystick, At the parting of the sea? And a Satellite Guidance Tracking System, To show him where to be? Did he write the law on tablets, Or are they really on CD? Did Moses use a joystick, At the parting of the Sea? Did Jesus really die for us, One day upon a tree? Or was it a hologram, Or Technical Wizardry? Can you download the Live Action Video Clip, To play on your PC? Did Jesus really die for us, One day upon a tree? Have the wonders of this modern age, Made you question what is true? How a single man, in a simple time, Could offer life anew? How a sinless life, a cruel death, Then glorious life again, Could offer more to a desperate world, Than all the inventions of man? If in your life, the voice of God, Is sometimes hard to hear. With other voices calling, He doesn’t touch your ear. Then set aside your laptop and modem And all your fancy gear. And open up your Bible, open your heart, And let your Father draw near. “Be still and know that I am God.”I remember watching Nun’s on the Run when I was growing up and laughing until I cried. This is a clip from Nun’s on the Run (Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle) where their character’s are in hiding in a convent pretending to be nun’s…one of them trying to explain the Trinity to their friend so that they can take a religious studies class on the Trinity…
