Let’s have fun with this…please don’t get all religious and offended on me…
Do you remember the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) phenomenon? That was the craze in the mid 90′s, and the acronym appeared on hats, clothing, wrist bracelets, and all sorts of jewelry. The acronym served as a conscious guide as to What Would Jesus Do in certain situations.
Not only was it a hit with some Christians, but also athletes, celebrities, and people world wide. Guess what? I never owned a single WWJD item…and can’t remember why. Maybe I couldn’t find anything that match my outfit? Well, I was also busy raising babies, so maybe I just missed it! (Just kidding)
In early 2000, while I was making a transition into natural health, I came across a book by Dr. Don Colbert called, What Would Jesus Eat? The book is a guide to a healthier lifestyle by changing your eating habits and following examples from Jesus’ diet and those from Biblical times. I found it to be very interesting, with a lot of great recipes.
Since I’m pretty active on social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, I started thinking…what if Jesus was on Twitter…What Would Jesus Tweet (WWJT)? If He was on Facebook, what would his updates be like?
Would Jesus use Social Media? Would He have an Iphone or Blackberry? How about Skype, You-Tube or a Blog? I know this may be controversial for some religious folks.
I am going to be humorous with this…so please join me and share what Jesus would tweet in 140 characters if he was on Twitter in the comment section below.
Be sure to leave me your Twitter ID and Web URL if you would like to be a part of a possible upcoming project. Please make sure it’s 140 characters or less. You can see my examples below.
I started a hashtag- #WWJT for tweets or RT‘s related to What Would Jesus Tweet? Hers are a few #WWJT:

I always like the unpublished Far Side commic with the tomb opened a little showing Jesus pouring a cup of coffee with the caption reading “I feel like I’ve been dead for three days.” I sing in the choir, feed the homeless, and teach Sunday school and still find that funny.
Now had that been Mohammad, Gary Larson would have been dead by now.
Have a blessed day.
“If you want Me to do it, you’d better have the faith for it to be done.

Will try to think of another! Great fun! Thanks, Duong!
I think he’d tweet…
“Whatever u do to the least of my tweeps, that u do unto me.”
I love that Heather!
He would say, “Come – Follow Me!”
