Doing Something right!!!

I gotta be honest. Much of "Christian" media is really lame. Dare I mention the Left Behind movies...???
So it's REALLY cool to see some folks pull off something that is so creative, out there and off the wall - all to tell the Good News of Jesus in a way that is so NOT lame!

The Hume Lake staff at Meadow Ranch are portraying the Apostle Peter and his interactions with Jesus in Liminy Snickets meets Nightmare Before Christmas meets Dr Suess sorta way...
Check out a bit here http://www.humelake.org/cephas/

Its almost beyond description. Its not the "media" quality of the thing, its the creativity! They are off the hook wacked out nuts!!!
  • Jesus has a flaming orange suit.
  • Peter has a pointed yoke around his neck with various faces that he tries on that are chained to the yoke.
  • The disciples can't help but pick their noses as Jesus goes off to talk to the Sun (Father) before he is betrayed. He comes back asking "can't you keep from picking your nose for just a little while?"

Way to go Hume Lake staff. You guys have taken a big risk to try something creative, fun and super thought provoking.

Derek - you're off to a great start!!

Some might not like it... Keep pressing the envelope anyway!

Its so easy to complain or gripe about stuff that you don't like, but when something is good we often say nothing. What a load of crap! If something is done well, I say shout it loud.

So next year maybe work on a theme of Jonah but in an anime meets Halo theme... yeah... one set is all 2 dimensional anime stuff (cardboard cut outs, mouths that don't move, lots of gutteral sound effects...) and the other set is 3D holographic interactive battle scene with aliens...
