Indelible Grace

Have you heard of Indelible Grace? I had not before I started going to RUF my freshman year. It is a music ministry that has primarily grown out of RUF at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. They have taken old hymns and put them to new tunes. They are wonderful. The reason for this blog post is to say that Matthew Smith, a founding member, and Indelible Grace are coming to Norman next Tuesday! Woohoo!! I could keep telling you how wonderful they are, or I could point you to their music here: http://www.igracemusic.com/ig5/

Here are the lyrics to my most favorite hymn, Isaiah 43:

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you,

And the waves will not

Overcome you.

Do not fear,

For I have redeemed you,

I have called you by name,

You are Mine.

For I am the Lord your God
(I am the Lord your God),
I am the Lord your God (I am)
The Holy One of Israel
Your Savior
For I am the Lord your God
(I am the Lord your God),
I am the Lord your God (I am)
The Holy One of Israel
Your Savior
I am the Lord (do not fear)
I am the Lord (do not fear)
I am the Lord (do not fear)
I am the Lord (do not fear)

When you walk through the fire
You’ll not be burned,
And the flames will not
Consume you.
Do not fear,
For I have redeemed you,
I have called you by name,
You are Mine.

Football Season is HERE!!!

It is killing me to write this blog with no pictures, but blogger has been slow about uploading for days now and I wanted to post!

Football season is here! The Sooners, along with most other schools in the country, played their first game on Saturday. The beginning of the football season at UF would have meant that my eyes would be pealed for anything orange and blue to wear to games. An orange and blue paisley belt currently hanging in my closet is one such find. Family members and friends admit to not being able to shop anymore without hearing my voice saying, "It's orange and blue- my alma mater's colors- perfect for football!" Alas, if I were to wear orange and blue in Norman on game day...I am not sure what would happen, but it would not be pretty.

Crimson and creme are great colors (yes, I said that!) and there is not a lack of them here these days! We have three football games in a row this month. This weekend the Sooners will take on Florida State- the arch nemesis of Florida football!!! I for one cannot wait to don crimson and creme on Saturday and (hopefully) watch FSU get the snot beat out of them by OU. Boomer Sooner!

Our third large group meeting is tonight at 9. We were going to attempt for a third meeting outside, but the rain in Norman today looks like we will be in Dale 103, per usual.

Bible studies started this week! Our freshman Bible study met yesterday, and this group is going to be great! Tons of personality and spunk!

Ok, I need to beat it to the Union now for lunch with a student. Hopefully this non-photo post did not bore you! Boomer Sooner!!!
