Ever seen a "NOOMA"?
Ah, I love these. Like .. love, love, LOVE them! My pastor shares them every-so-often in church. We even had the opportunity to see Rob Bell in person but, by the time we decided, it was sold out. Total bummer. Anyhoo, they are short films, usually narrated by Rob Bell. The one we saw yesterday was titled, "Rain". (Oh, goodie, goodie, goodie .. I just found out that you can actually watch it on the site .. jackpot! .. look for the option when you click on "Rain"!!!!!!) It made me cry, it was that good. I think it was the parallel of our love for our children and His love for us, His children. I find that being a parent makes me able to come at least a little bit closer to understanding His love for us (of course, on a totally different scale).
If you've seen it, or any of them, I wonder if you love them like I do. If not, I hope you someday get the opportunity. I've never read his book but have heard excellent things about it .. and am planning to get it for my hubby and I to read. Check out the site if you'd like any info.
Also .. praise God for His miracles! Three weeks ago, a young man from our church was making a u-turn and hit directly on his driver's side by a log truck. Praise God, he was in the front seats of church yesterday morning! Doctors haven't seen anything like it. They profess that this NEVER, NEVER, NEVER happens. Well, how great is our God! We are praying for a complete recovery .. and believing God for it.

I clicked on the link "Rain" and I can't tell you how much I needed this right now. I've been feeling alone in our struggle with infertility and I have cried many tears. Sometimes I've sat there wondering if God was listening.......but how foolish of me. He is and I needed to be reminded of that today. :)

Hi Brooke! I have never seen a Nooma before today. I did click on rain and a few others but only got a minute or so of the beginning. Do you have to purchase them to see the whole thing?

Hi, just came across your blog and thought that I would let you know that I found some great information on what nooma is. The info can be found at www.christianbooksbibles.com/noomaindex.htm.
You can also buy the nooma DVDs there #1-13 for only $108.99 and that is the best i have seen.
God bless!

Have you seen the one titled "Lump"? It's about shame and it's incredible. I am so glad you posted about this one, because I had seen "Lump" at church a few weeks back and couldn't remember the name of the ministry it came from. Congrats on your newest blessing! I must've missed the Sonlight announcement.
Thanks!

P.S. To the person who asked, I was able to view the whole thing from her link.

I was just scanning blogs and ran across yours. The word "Nooma" caught my attention. I have done alot of research on Rob Bell and the Emergent Church movement. I would caution you to this man and his beliefs. I know it is very popular now, but this movement is changing the gospel. They even call themselves the "New Christianity" The Bible is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Rob Bell is a wolf in sheeps clothing.Please do some research into this movement. The internet has loads of info. on it. Don't be deceived!!
