I Love the Holidays!

Some quick Hovis Thanksgiving highlights:
  • My cousin Shelby playing with the Flarp silly putty and refusing to acknowledge Shawn's presence
  • My dad making fun of Shauna (and vice-versa) throughout the entire Thanksgiving dinner
  • Going out with my friends to El Durango then to the swings where Deidre threw up
  • Shawn living on his throne (aka the green recliner)
  • Dad and Larry on the guitars
  • Spice carrot cake anyone?
  • Shopping with Shawn

Okay, so that has been out of my system for a while now. It's the Christmas season! I am very excited about Christmas this year. Hanging of the Green helped kicked it off at MBU. Allusion sung some songs, In Charactre performed a short take, and then everyone stood in the Mabee Great Hall, counted down from five, and watched all the lights come on across campus. After refreshments and visiting, the Spirit Wing/Closer/Faithful concert began. It was great! Fantastic performances, Robyn, Lauren, Jenny, Rob, and everyone!

Things got even better when the Worship History and Leadership class led Chapel last Thursday. Keith and Jeremy led worship (hooray!) and the speaker (I regret not knowing his name) brought the Christmas story to life with a fresh perspective. He focused on Isaiah 9 about the coming Messiah and gave some background using a Greek word and explaining briefly how to use the study helps in study Bibles. I was really glad he shared that information with the student body because it is so important and can be so helpful for all of us students. In short, Chapel was awesome.

The Christmas Chapel is coming up this Thursday featuring Spirit Wing. I am looking forward to it.
