The MBSF group has been brainstorming advertising ideas. We want to get more people coming to our Monday night services.
One of the ideas that surfaced was simple:
I must apologize to my musically-talented readers. Aubrey, Travis, Hunter, Dave (surely there are others)... I'm sorry.
This went on non-stop for over an hour.
The music was ridiculous enough for people to ask "What in the world are you doing?". So we told them, so I guess it worked.
My suitcase to come back to the dorm today was pretty funny.
All food, plus two pairs of shoes.
Does anybody like that food? This is a pretty decent gathering of favorites for me.
the Napkin Board
Every table in the cafeteria has a napkin dispenser in the middle. Students can take a napkin and use it to post suggestions to the board. The staff then reads the suggestions as they walk by the board, and tries to improve.
Sadly, people usually use the board to just be negative. A common post would be something like,
"MY FRIES WERE COLD, AGAIN. DO YOUR JOBS"
I try to be a little nicer, because although the food really isn't that good, the staff works, REALLY HARD. They are an extremely motivated, hard-working crew, that deserves a pat on the back, not a spit to the face.
I try to keep it light, because it can get ugly if there goes a few days without somebody speaking up with a kind word.
That being said, I don't just put "THANKS GUYS, LOVE YA!" up there. I'm trying to get a message across, too.
At Henderson, I spend quite a bit of time at the MBSF.
Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship
The group has a house-type hangout across from the famous Henderson fountain. The building is pretty sweet, and being a college student place, it's got some witty stuff lying around.
In the guy's bathroom, they've got this sign posted. I love it.
both of them fly.
Soon after the first song, I see something, something pretty big, fly through the air across the room. Looked like somebody had tossed a hacky sac or something. This hacky sac started soaring from one side of the room to the other.
Nobody was throwing a hacky sac in church, it was a bat, in church.
This bat was going bizzerk. Swooping down low by heads, way up into the catwalks, back and forth, front to back, bizzerk. It managed to distract the majority of the group for the majority of the worship. It landed on the ceiling, upside down, above the pulpit. I guess it wanted to take a break and hear the sermon.
After the sermon, the band came back up and played a few more songs. I felt something tingling my right hand.
When I mix, both hands are on the board, resting on the edge, with fingers spread to the faders.
But, something was tickling my right hand, and with our friend Tom the Bat flying around, I lifted my hands to take a look.
There was a ladybug, trying to journey from the LR faders to Ch. 1. My hands were blocking the road (board tape highway), so I kindly removed the double road-block temporarily for our lady.
She was just sitting next to my hand, tickling it, basically asking me to move. As soon as I lifted my hands, she charged forward and got out of my way. It was pretty funny.
Ran the service tonight between 87 and 104dB. too hot?
