The news spread quickly that Theodore and Tilly-Bear were going to build a monastery
in cybearspace. The only problem was that the two bears didn't have a computer,
electricity, or even a telephone. Then winter came, and the two bears had to leave the
woods they once made their home and find a new place to live.
"Theodore, look", said Tilly-Bear, "Isn't that Mary, the
mother of Jesus, sticking out of the snow? It must be a sign from God!"
"Well, actually", said Theodore, "It's a nativity scene in
front of somebody's house. Careful you don't trip over the little sheep that's in front of
you buried in the snow."
"Well, anybody with a nativity scene in front of their house must be
a Christian. Besides, I'm cold, and it looks awful warm inside. Let's see if they'll
invite us in."
So, the two bears knocked on the door to see who was home. It turned out that a good
Christian family did live in the house and they invited the two bears to stay for as long
as they liked. The bears could even use the family's big powerful Internet computer to
build a Web site. It wasn't long after that before the Teddy Bear Monastery started
operating in cybearspace. Then Theodore, Tilly-Bear, and all of their teddy bear friends
had a way to tell the world Jesus Loves You - just as God commanded them to do.
