Love, FaceBible style

From The Edge by The Oregonian

Well, another Valentine's Day has come and gone, and here at Edge HQ we still can't update our Facebook relationship status to anything above "sitting alone on couch in underwear eating Cheetos."

But it could be worse. We could be in one of those Old Testament relationships.

Paradise lost

Eve just found an apple tree. (drool)

God Ix-nay on the apples-way.

Serpent Dude, you are so uptight about that tree. Go for it, E.

Adam Serpent, stay away from my woman. Eve, don't listen to him.

Eve Hey, S., you talked me into it! (giggle)

Eve Yum!!!

God I am totally un-friending you.

God Adam, too.

Adam has changed his relationship status to "It's Complicated."

Whole lotta pain

Lot is chillin' at home in Sodom.

Angel We still on for dinner 2 nite?

Lot You bet!

Sodomite Y'all want coffee, tea or me? ;)

God Gag me. I am totally un-friending all you Sodomites.

Angel Lot, meet me in Zoar ASAP. Bring the family. Don't look back.

Lot's Wife Zoar?? That hillbilly place? No way!

Lot It'll be OK, hon. I promise.

Lot's Wife But my parties! My furniture! My jewelry!

Lot Who cares?! God is TICKED! We gotta get outta his way!

Lot's Wife just turned into a pillar of salt.

Lot has changed his relationship status to "It's Complicated."

When love goes belly-up.

Jonah seems to be inside a whale.

Is that even possible?

Whoa, it stinks in here.

Jonah's Wife has changed her relationship status to "It's Complicated."

Faccebook/Twitter=Spiritual Communication?

Today seems as good a day as any to address a topic of some popularity--at least recently. There is a lot of buzz right now about social networking (and other computer-based technologies) in relation to the Church.

I'm going to just go ahead and post some article/blog links below that have come across my desktop. I'll add no commentary just yet, but we can dialogue if you'd like. Just drop me a comment.

The Church of Facebook

Online Community? Possible?

Oregon Live just posted a most interesting and funny article from The Oregonian. It's about this book, it's about this author, it's about Facebook and other social networks and the effects on community within the church.

Do I, as a Christian, Facebook using, tweeting, Digital Technologies and Culture graduate agree with Rice? Hmmm. I tell you what, I will read this book and let you know.

In the meantime I suggest YOU read the rich, rich article by Nancy Haught and watch Jesse Rice's funny YouTube videos. All are available at the following link:
