Theologiggle 2012

Greetings friends! It's been a wonderful week here in Princeton, and I hope that your week has been good as well. The weather up here in the Northeast part of the country has been beautiful! Hello springtime! =) Anyway, the end of the semester is in sight, but there is a lot to be accomplished before then! Only four weeks remain in the long term, then finals week, then May-term, then a real break and summer! I really can't wait for summer, my favorite season of the year! In the meantime, what is a person to do for a little fun around here? ...attend theologiggle 2012!

Theologiggle? So you might be thinking, "What the heck is this theologiggle?" It is a series of acts/skits put on by members of the seminary kind of poking fun at Princeton Seminary, theology, all things biblical, etc etc. All the money raised goes to charities in Trenton, NJ, and it's good to be able to laugh at yourself every once in a while. After all, most of the skits are making fun of ourselves and our community. For those of you who may be worried about the sanctity of God's Holy Word, don't worry, it wasn't heretical or distasteful humor.

Skits.  There were a lot of good ones: OT Dating Game with Adam, Abraham, and King David; Seminary President after Seminary, Rap Songs "Super Bass," "Forget You," and "Who We Are" presented as poetry by a (real) NT scholar; Lose Yourself in the Sermon (to the tune of Eminem's "Lose Yourself"); Cats of the Apostles; Jesus is Bad with Names discussing the humor of name changes in the Bible; and finally a song to our beloved Minister of the Chapel. Previous years' recorded videos can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z2ULkg0M8g, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6OgmiqFZbQ.

No way! So, what does one do after a fantastic Friday full of fun and laughter?! Oh, I don't know.... play telephone pictionary (after theologiggle)! And here is just a sample:

"No way, YAHWEH!"

I hope that you all are enjoying the simplicity of Lent! Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter are only a few weeks away! Peace be with you. =)
