If Abram and Sarai had Twitter

The following is a imaginary twitter conversation that was created by a group of 6^th – 8^th grade youth at the retreat I spoke at this weekend. It was placed onscreen while a member of the group read Genesis 12:1-20. I think it's pretty cool:

OMG12:1-20: @Abe75 pack your bags we're going on a road trip

OMG12:1-20: #thisisgonnarock

Abe75: Me and @LotsaFun are goin on a trip #abesbigtrip

Hater51: @Abe75 you're crazy #abesfolly

SnakeEye: @Rottnegg @MrGumpypants can you believe what @Abe75 is doing? #abesfolly

LotsaFun: @Abe75 @MissSarah ready for the trip!

Supporter21: @MissSarah you go girl!

Sonshine: #Abesbigtrip this is great!

SnakeEye: #Abesfolly is right

MrGrumpypants: #Abesfolly Absolutely!

ImagoDei: #Abesbigtrip sounds like you were made for this

MissSarah: @Abe75 we're out of food #hungry

Abe75: @MissSarah let's head south and see KingP

Abe75: dm @MissSarah you're looking fine - better keep this on the down low (-; *-:

KingP: Just got this fine girl for an ipad and a pack of lollipops

Abe75: lollipops are awesome #full

OMG12:1-20: @KingP big mistake buddy

KingP: I want my ipad back #feelinsick

KingP: @Abe75 Dude not cool she's not your sister #polygamy

KingP: keep the ipad and your "sis" and just get out #anddontcomeback

I am constantly and pleasantly surprised by the fun and creativity with which young Christians approach their faith and work to integrate their faith into their lives. This is just one particularly fun example.
Thanks to Jay Locklear of St. Luke's UMC in Sanford, NC for passing this along to me.
