A couple of visuals for you today…<\/p>\n

The first is just to give you a laugh – because it might in fact be the BEST YOUTUBE VIDEO EVER! \u00a0A pitch-perfect parody of every Oscar-grabbing movie trailer you’ve ever seen: \u00a0 (might be worth saying: some of the language in this is a bit un-PC – might be worth giving it a miss if you’re very sensitive to such things!)<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

The second is a quick mobile-phone snap of the front page of the Belfast Telegraph, taken while I was waiting for my Chinese dinner (honey chilli chicken, mmm). \u00a0Yep the Titanic Quarter is in the headlines again – this time it’s a story about the legal battles over the completed apartments. \u00a0I can understand the frustration on both sides – the developers feel that the purchasers committed to a sale, but some of the buyers claim that they are genuinely unable to complete their purchase as a result of the Credit Crunch. \u00a0Whatever happens in the court case, I find myself really hoping that these setbacks don’t hinder or cripple the growth of the TQ and the vision of the developers. \u00a0The more time I spend here, the more I’m becoming swept up in the excitement of this new part of Belfast – and the more I long to see it thrive and succeed. \u00a0Belfast deserves more Good News – in every sense – so hopefully these gloomy headlines won’t be the end of the story!<\/p>\n

Here’s the picture – maybe you could use it as a visual prompt to pray for those caught on both sides of the battle, for all those living in financial worry or anxiety, and for the future of our city:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The third is a link to a brilliant visual reflection from the WordLive website (which you’ll always find linked from the ‘Connect’ tab on The Dock homepage – check it out as often as you can!). Looking at the attitude of worship of some of the characters in Exodus, it’s just a chance to take a few moments worshipping our Creator.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link – enjoy! :
