WWJT (What Would Jesus Tweet)

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Well, this piece is borrowed, almost in its entirety, from WrigleyPreacher, aka my Uncle Steve. He recently shared some observations about Jesus that I found timely and interesting.

Last week, Susan Hogan posed the question: What would Jesus' Twitter account say? (My variation: What Would Jesus Tweet? - Tweets are the 140 character answers that Twitter users publish in reply to the question: What Are You Doing?)

Among the responses were several by Randy Schatz, whose "tweets" offer a great summation of the Gospel. Here are some of my favorites:

"No time to tweet 2nite! Got a dinner date with some prostitutes, then to a movie with a gay freind. Peace! JC"

"Meeting some dancers @ Ihop after they get off work. Like 3AM. Join us?"

"Can you take the 3AM Ihop? I gotta stay up with a teen cutter in the psyc ward...step dad was messing with her. I sit with him in court 2morrow. JC."

"@LarryKing & @Pope want to interview me. Maybee tomorrow, kinda busy 2day."

"On my way to Starbucks 2 meet college freshman started class yesterday...and found out she is pregnant...deciding what to choose."

"Just passed churchy protesters with signs that say "God Hates Fags!". WTF?!?"

"Court is done. Heading 2 homeless shelter 2 start dinner. MEATLOAF =) Swing in if U R free. JC"

"Rejoycing with an industrial strength sinner who finally gave me a call. I had been hoping to hear from him soon. JC"

Thanks Steve. The ideas inspired my SOTW... Its one of my all-time favorites - "My Jesus" by Todd Agnew. Not the most upbeat song ever, but so very powerful and thought-provoking. I love the part about being accepted in my church - great lyrics. A strong description about who Jesus truly is. Enjoy!

PS - Feel free to add your Jesus Tweets in the comments...
