If College Students Wrote The BibleThe

Last Supper would have been eaten the next morning -- cold.

The Ten Commandments would actually be only five -- double-spaced and written in a large font.

A new edition would be published every two years in order to limit reselling.

Forbidden fruit would have been eaten because it wasn't cafeteria food.

Paul's letter to the Romans would become Paul's email to abuse@romans.gov.

Reason Cain killed Abel: they were roommates.

Reason why Moses and followers walked in the desert for 40 years: they didn't want to ask directions and look like freshmen.

Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh, he would have put it off until the night before to get it done.



The Israeli Archaeologist

An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy, a rather rare occurrence in Israel, to say the least. After examining it, he called Abe, the curator of the Israel museum in Jerusalem. "I've just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed. Abe replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out."

A week later, the amazed Abe called the archaeologist. "You were right about both the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?"

"Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."

DRUMS/BASS

We want to hear from you!
Aaron posed these couple of questions. Please give us your perspective.
1. What are we doing to effectively syncopate our instruments—hitting the bass (root) notes with the kick beats, etc…?
2. What can we do to better the marriage between the bass guitar and drums?
3. Playing standard bass notes or a standard beat (simple, not busy) might not be that “fun,” but is it more effective?
We look forward to your responses!

SHOUT OUT!

This week's SHOUT OUT goes to Naomi LaCoss! Naomi sings the low part as well as the melody. She also lends her make-up ability and makes (and sometimes she has to make the guys!) us all look great on stage.

The other night, as we were getting ready to work on a new song, I asked the bgv crew to share any notes they had made while listening to it the previous week. She spoke right up and shared with us. I appreciate her diligence and honor for the position God has placed her in.

Naomi, thank you! I love and appreciate your authentic concern for others as well as your faithfulness to communicate your schedule and thoughts...and the green tea lemonaide referral!
