Devotional Adventures.

as part of our women's choir duties, we are lucky enough to sing in devotional twice or three times per semester. This past tuesday, 11/08/2011, we had this opportunity. This time, in particular, was quite the adventure. Ashley, Myself, and Emily, sat next to each other. the are both about 2 inches taller than me. we were seated in the back row, not expecting to end up on the camera shots. however, in the middle of the song, the screen showed a horizontal pan of the back row. i couldn't tell for sure if it was on the three of us, so i quickly stood up on my tip-toes and sunk back down... an action that only took about 3 seconds. however, the camera was on me, and the simple action of standing up on my tip-toes then coming back down was visible to the entire campus of BYU-Idaho. HA!... oh well..... i was bound to be well known at here at some point! after the song (which was beautiful) was finished we sat down... and then... they turned the lights down on us, so on screen we looked pitch black. the devotional speaker had a mono-tone voice which was all-too relaxing, and because we were seated behind him, all we could hear was an echo. it would take extreme focus and practice to even try to figure out what he was saying. so, being exhausted from the lack of sleep i have been getting, i climbed onto the carpeted riser behind be, stretched out flat, and fell asleep. i was out stone cold. i was so deeply asleep, that the only thing that could possibly wake me up was a loud noise... leave it to emily to cover that. apparently when she silenced her phone, it did not silence the media sounds. being bored, she decided to play a game. upon clicking on the app, the i-center stage began to echo with a song, a simple jungle that a normal game would have, i shot right up like a rocket, she tried to absorb the sound by pressing it into her stomach, which seemed to work for the most part, after the song stopped, she turned her phone off, and threw it under her chair. i lied back down and not even 5 minutes later i was out like a light... again. until the speaker closed and i woke up to sing the closing song, and pray. it was a devotional i will certainly never forget, even though i slept through most of it... but i must say, that stage is much more comfortable than people give it credit for.
