When Jesus Joins The Santa Run
Have you got a Santa Run near you?
The thing where people dress up as Santa, and go for a run. (Typing it up, I cant help but wonder why people would do that but anyway…)
I mean why dress up as Santa on a Santa run when you could run as Jesus on a Cross…
Wouldn’t dressing up as an Angel, Shepherd, Mary, or a Baby in a Manger be a bit more Christmassy?
(Found over at Christian Nightmares and The Jesus Question)
Are Bible Titles A Little Harsh?
Does anyone else feel a little bad for Thomas?

Finding God on Saturday
I always wondered what the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday was like.
Somewhere between the death of Jesus, and him rising from the dead.
What must have that been like?

The Church Sofa – Lego Star Wars Easter Story
As seems to now be tradition. Heres a repeat of a little something I did a few years ago as part of a wider online project. (And also gave birth to Tales From The ToyShelf).
Here is a series of of photos of Lego men telling the Lego Easter Story… Please feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions about it.
(It also seems to be turning into a tradition that I keep meaning to create an updated version)
The Star Wars Lego Easter Story.
“Go to the village ahead of you”
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”

Turning The Temple Tables
![15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]” 18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.](http://i1.wp.com/thechurchsofa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Monday.jpg?resize=491%2C457 "15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there.
