WWJT?

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….

Is heaven in the yellow pages?

Mummy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,
My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.
Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?
Is Heaven in the yellow part, I don’t know where to look.
I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don’t know why.
Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me.
Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?
She’s been gone a long, long time. She really needs to come home now!
I really need to reach her but I simply don’t know how.
Help me find the number please, Is it listed under Heaven?
I can’t read these big words, I am only seven.
I’m sorry operator, I didn’t mean to make you cry.
Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?
If I call my church maybe they will know.
Mummy said when we need help that’s where we should go.
I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall.
Thank you operator, I’ll give them a call.

Will we have a test on it?

Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain,
and gathering them around him he taught them saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek.
Blessed are they that mourn.
Blessed are the merciful.
Blessed are they who thirst for justice.
Blessed are all the concerned.
Blessed are you when persecuted.
Blessed are you when you suffer.
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven
try to remember what I am telling you

 

Then Simon Peter said,

     Will this count?

and Andrew said,

     Will we have a test on it?

and James said,

    When do we have to know it for?

and Phillip said,

     How many words?

and Bartholomew said,

     Will I have to stand up in front of the others?

and John said,

     The other disciples didn’t have to learn this.

and Matthew said,

     How many marks do we get for it?

And Judas said,

     What is it worth?

and the other disciples likewise.

 

Then one of the Pharisees who was present
asked to see Jesus’ lesson plan
and inquired of Jesus
his terminal objectives in the cognitive domain

 

and Jesus wept.

Part the curtains

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.

The First of May

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.

I’ll Take it

Did Jesus use a modem?

Authour Unknown

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.”
