This is amazing…  As Joshua said, short but ‘epic’!

A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION

The Acts 29 Network blog posted this recently.

With almost every social site offering the ability to post ones ’status’ to the world this is pretty humorous.  If Jesus had the ability to post his status and keep it short what would it look like?

These are a few of my favorites from that post.

• Adam is lonely, really lonely, naming animals…starting with A - Aardvark
• Adam is having surgery today - taking out a rib
• Adam is the husband of the most beautiful woman in the world. Okay, she’s the only one, but she isn’t wearing any clothes
• Eve is looking at pretty apples and talking to a snake. He’s a sly little creature.
• Adam is leaving the garden and shopping for “the perfect leaf” with Eve
• Abraham has a knife in hand but sees a ram caught in the bushes. Man that was close!
• Noah is building a huge boat - really huge boat and the neighbors are complaining and laughing
• Noah is really hating elephant dung and those two chimps are trying my patience
• Moses is walking through the Red Sea…no, really.
• Solomon is writing Songs that all the boys want to read
• Enoch is outta here
• Job is sick of his friend’s advise
• John the Baptist is eating locusts and wild honey and looking for the One whose shoes I am not worthy to tie
• Peter is walking on water-oops, not anymore
• Peter is hating that the rooster crows

I’ve always found myself with a seemingly unnatural affection for the tasty pork planks aka “bacon.” However, after seeing this video it all seems to make perfect sense.

Is it just me or do most guys have a natural affection for this greasy temptress? What say you?

One last post before the big day tomorrow.

This is an AMAZING arrangement of O Come Emmanuel.  The opening acapella is cool, but it gets even better after that!  From what I understand this is a collaboration by three separate YouTubers.  Very, very cool.

 Today is day 10 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

Seeing as it is Christmas Eve, I thought it fitting to post this song on the final day.

“Silent Night” by Low.

Today is day 9 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

“O Come All Ye Faithful” as performed by weezer. Upon hearing this album I was pleasantly surprised.  They stayed with a traditional Christmas song lineup!  And not generic Christmas/Santa songs (save one song), songs you’d sing in church on Christmas eve!  Very well done…

Today is day 7 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

“Carol of the Bells” as performed by The Bird and the Bee.  This is quite an interesting duo if you haven’t heard them before.  The Apple/Mac/OSX video set to their Again and Again tune was one of the most creative things I’ve seen in a while.

Day 6 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

“Hark the Herald Angels Sing” by Dustin Kensrue off their album: This Good Night Is Still Everywhere.  We go back to basics on this one, just a singer and his guitar.
