Gerard Kelly has just published an article on using twitter as a spiritual practice at Godspace, a site developed by Christine Sine of Mustard Seed Associates.

Gerard writes about being stirred into prayer with Twitter a few days after the Amsterdam air accident, not far from his home. He was stimulated to start sharing his answer to the question “What are you praying?”, in 140 characters or less. The result was a new Twitter channel, Twitturgies, connected with his Tumblr blog and a special Twitturgies Tumblr blog.

The most recent Twitturgies:

It’s your city God. Its history riddled with your story. Its future cradled in your dream. May our town plan cry You are Here

There is a curtain between us God. At times so fine I can almost hear you breathing. May I learn to live in such thin places

God’s goodness is deep in the earth. But you have to dig for it. All people. All places. Take the spade of the Spirit and dig

We are fragments of the mirror of God; 6 billion shards of his shatterred image. Glue us together God. Make us a mirror ball

#haiku God’s breath stirs the leaves / God’s sun bathes the day’s last hours / God’s love holds my heart
