From Tamworth Police re Missing 3 yr old Girl - just look a the picture, you never know

I received this from a friend of mine the other day:

Brett Davies at Tamworth Police.

IF YOUR CHILD WAS MISSING WOULDN ' T YOU PRAY THAT EVERYONE PASSED THIS EMAIL ON?!!!
PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING. LOOK AND FORWARD. A 3-year-old girl named Reachelle Marie Smith is missing

You never know where this e-mail could end up and I ' m not going to stop passing this one around if it means a little girl can be found!!!
Please spread this picture far and wide.....You just never know. Someone you know might know her!



BEFORE YOU DELETE THIS, LOOK AT THE CHILD.. DO IT AGAIN. NOW SEND IT TO ALL IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IT TAKES ONLY 10 SECONDS. THANK YOU!

It's possible that the original story was true, that there really was a child that had gone missing. However, over time, the details have changed. The original email associated with this particular message was about a little girl in North Dakota, which is a long way away from New South Wales, Australia.

The chances that someone would actually recognise the child through an email are very remote. And, even if you did see the child, who would you contact? There are no contact details in the email.

So, please be wary when you receive this. Check the source, before passing it on.

Stuff Christians Like

A friend of mine sent me an except from this blog today. So very cool. Check it out: Stuff Christians Like

The humour is much like Adrian Plass. If you get a chance, read some of his books, especially the "sacred diaries". Classic!

Bad Movie

I received this from a friend the other day:

The movie Corpus Christi is due to be released this June to August.
This disgusting film set to appear in America later this year and it
depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has
already been in theatres for a while. It's called Corpus Christi ' which
means 'The Christ Body.' It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But, we
can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you
do send this around, we may be able to prevent this film from showing in
America and South Africa. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already
banned the film. We need a lot of prayers and a lot of e-mails.

As a Christian I want to take a stand in what I believe in and stop the
mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.

At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think
would appreciate it. Please help us prevent such offenses against our
Lord. It will take you less than 2 minutes! If you are not interested, and
do not have the 2 Minutes it will take to do this , please just delete
this, but ..remember, Jesus said 'Deny Me on earth and I'll deny you
before my Father'.

A quick google search shows that this is a hoax. Check out the following links:

• Snopes

From the Urban Legends website:

... as it currently stands there's no evidence anywhere — not in the trades, not in the entertainment magazines, nor on the many online movie news sites — that a "gay Jesus" film is now in production or even being considered for production. Moreover, these false alarms keep cropping up despite a quarter-century of efforts to disprove them...

... Returning to contemporary variants of the petition, I'm obliged to acknowledge that there's a grain of truth to them, namely the claim that a stage play exists portraying Jesus and the apostles as gay. Written by Terrence McNally, the play is called Corpus Christi and premiered in 1998. However, no plans to adapt it into movie form have ever been announced...

Please check it out for yourself before passing it onto others.
