Okay, if this was done by someone as a joke, I'd be laughing at what the Green Day song calls, "The Jesus of Suburbia". I'd put it in the same category of "Saved" and "Dogma" which are beautiful critiques of modern Christianity. But this was put together by a congregation ... and, to make it even worse for me, a Lutheran one.
Just curious, does the red glow of my embarrassment radiate out from your computer screen?

Denver, CO, US Here's Jimmy! I'll have one with me later.
Here's Jimmy! I'll have one with me later. - Photo: http://bkite.com/01oiK False rumor. No Ben, no duck, we get President Carter instead! Rumor has it that Ben Affleck is supposed to be visiting us this afternoon. How many would rather see the Aflack duck? @techmate it was a very colorful salad! Lots of veggies. Cute is certainly the right word! And to add to the shame if the salad lunch, I couldn't even finish it because I was full. Being healthy is really strange. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm having salad for lunch. That's it, salad. A meat-free salad for a meal. @worshiptechie See, I disagree. The McCain camp has the same argument as Bush senior. It will be a, "See how it went 16 years ago." Thing. What are the odds that Bill Clinton will talk about his lack of experience 16 years ago? Denver, CO 80202 @tczinder Like most task management stuff, it will only work if you open it up and use it. That's my eternal problem. @techmate Glad I accomplished my goal and made someone laugh. @shrop Yeah, Thursday is going to be huge. Just the history factor is going to be amazing, nevermind the energy. I'm with y'all on IM, even if most of the people I'd IM don't tweet.
Please...for the love of all that is good and holy, gouge them out!!! MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP!!!
I would have to say I agree with, what I'm only assuming is the point, that we should not look at Christmas as a chance to get presents. Or in short, the materialistic side. On the other hand, couldn't you say that Christmas really IS about us since it is the beginning of God's redemptive plan?
Okay, I know that God's redemptive plan goes back at least to the fall, but I hope you get my general drift.
Of course you could also argue that even the redemptive plan is really about God and His glory and that He receives more glory through our redemption. That would make it all about Jesus wouldn't it? But if God is glorified through our redemption and the birth of Christ is the mainfestion of that plan, then that would make Christmas about us!
Is your head swimming yet?
