Do you think you could possibly get your two 'almost teens' to do a short review of how it is going for me, and mark it out of 10? would love to quote them in the book I'm preparing based on this!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436701820363040984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441450222563525020.post-12041733485585544092014-05-27T10:48:05.994-07:002014-05-27T10:48:05.994-07:00I just spotted this link in your twitter @MirandaT...I just spotted this link in your twitter @MirandaTHolmes. I'm not a teenager, but I have/own 1 and another one that's still budding. They do it earlier these days (becoming teens that-is.) I came at this whole Minecraft versus God thing from a different angle in my spiritual walk which started when computers were young, and most of my teenager-ness was almost spent. Minecraft had not been invented, but I knew that computers were evil - but I liked them so I discussed my fear with a youth leader who was a data capturer (yes, this was the 90's and an age fearing the number 666). But if music in the wrong hands is a tool of the devil, then I can do the same reversal for computers I discovered. <br />Noah (sic) was my starting point I built an ark - my 2 boys helped a lot. It took about 2 weeks. It was pretty educational, and just like the experience your teenager had, the spiritual understanding I gained by keeping my eyes on the screen was greater than the time spent with my eyes closed. I was able to share this with my Sunday school class later too. <br />Right now I am building a Cathedral, it's a 6 month project. My 2 "almost" teenagers are helping me again - I'll get them to share what they are getting out of it. Do keep in touch, and post a picture of your church. I would love to share it and create a subversive culture where we turn the evil computer around, to glorify God through His and our creativity.<br />Marks:<br />Ease: 4/10 - depends on minecrafting ability.<br />Spiritual: 10/10 - I have sown a seed in many young minds.Conrad Braamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516128061510018135noreply@blogger.com
