Got this idea at Camp on June 11th, 2008 (same day as Worship, wow.), and really liked it. Our speaker at Camp talked about how God might have conversed with Jesus and the Spirit before He created the earth and I thought, "Hey! Super idea!" and decided to expand on it.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…" But what you don't know is that before He created, he conversed. The other two members of the Trinity were included in His plans for Earth, and the conversation itself was animated.

Imagine, if you will, God seated on His throne, with Jesus and the Holy Spirit nearby, maybe looking bored. Suddenly, God gets up and starts pacing. Jesus looks over and asks, "Hey, Dad, what's up?"

"Oh, I was just thinking," says God, "that this is really boring. We have nothing to do. What if We created people to talk to? And a place for them to live? We could provide for them."

He points and says, "Like, here, We could put this giant piece of land, and over there we could plop in a giant thing of water…"

This idea seems great to Jesus and the Spirit, and they both jump up and throw out ideas.

The Spirit motions to His left and says, "And what about putting trees over here, a Garden? And a bunch of animals? And…"

"Great idea, Spirit!" Jesus cries, looking at His Father. "Dad, this is great! I love it! When can We start?"

God looks at Jesus and realizes sadly, "Son, You know that if We create these people, We will have to give them free will. We can't let them run around like robots all the time."

"I know," Jesus says, still excited.

"And You know," God continues, "that they may not choose Us. If We give them free will to choose between Us and something else, they may choose the other thing."

"I know," Jesus says again, sounding somewhat annoyed with God for repeating Himself.

"And, if they choose the other thing, We will have to remind them that We love them. You may have to become one of them. And You will have to die for them to remind them of Our love."

"I know," is Jesus' sad reply.

"And when they reject You as a man, they will crucify You. They will mock You and spit on You and stab You and hang You from a cross. They will hate You."

"I know that, Dad," Jesus says, pain in His voice, "but I love them! I love this idea, and I love these people. They are inside of Me already. I know I'll have to die for them, and I'm willing to do it, because I love them."

"Then…" God declares, seeing that the Plan is good, "let Us create!"


Well, okay, not quite as I thought it would be, but I wrote it (all 422 words of it) in about five minutes, so what should I expect from such a quick typing job? o.O

It's not quite as super as Kevin (Camp speaker) made it sound, nor nearly as detailed as I wanted it to be, but…oh well. It's the Trinity chatting (okay, the HS wasn't included very much, but that's all right…) before Earth was formed. The expression Kevin kept using was "so fly". Like, God would be saying, "Man, that's so fly!" and such.

Yeah. It's not perfect, and it wasn't meant to be super-serious or super-funny. It was just supposed to be a "Hey, what if?" piece, kinda...
