SNL

Live from Dunkerooville, It's Saturday night!

The seniors are busy brainstorming for their feature skit in the Swing Show. They're thinking an SNL theme. I'm sadly uneducated in all of SNL's splendor. Dearest blog readers, please share with me your favorites! I'm sure that youtube has tons of great ones, but I'm hoping you might help me save hours of my life. I like the cowbell skit, the cheerleader skit, the hamburger one... I'm just starting to get the ideas flowing. Please help!

I also want them to call it something clever. The best they came up with was "Tuesday Morning Dead." I'm thinking "no" on that one!

Yes, That's the Book for Me

I went to a group bible study tonight. This is exciting for me, and I want to share so I make the commitment to go each week. We started with dinner at the Pita Pit in Cedar Falls. Delicious! I was nervous to go, as I thought I would only know one person. Turns out a friend from a few college classes was also there. Anyhow, we then went a person's home for the study. We're studying Revelation, which isn't the easiest to join midway. As we read I recognized a few verses as the text for a song I sang in college. It's crazy how a tune will come to your mind when you read familiar words. The bible verse from camp set to Indiana Jones pops into my head multiple times in a week. I thought I would share with you a few of the verses that we read tonight.

"Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the ages.
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
And bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed." Revelation 14: 3-4
