What is NEXT for YOU??

*The following is an excerpt from an interview one of our reporters, we'll call him Mr. Darcy, did with Miss Haynes a couple of weeks ago.*

Mr. Darcy: Natalie Kate Haynes, I heard your life is about to change. What on earth is all the fuss about?

NKH: Yes, yes, the rumors are true! I am moving farther into the midwest in August. I am moving to St. Louis, Missouri.

Mr. Darcy: Well what on earth are you moving all the way up there for? Haven't you heard that it gets dreadfully cold there?

NKH: Well, actually, yes I have. And I have also heard that it is a very big city for such a young girl, like myself, but I have decided to move anyways. I will be studying counseling at Covenant Seminary.

Mr. Darcy: Counseling {draws out a long hmmmmm}. Well, why will you be studying counseling?

NKH: Well first might I add that these are very poignant questions, Mr. Darcy. Bravo! But back to the topic at hand...I want to study counseling because I think there is a need for trained counselors in our churches. I want to talk with people about their marriages, their families, themselves, and how all of those things relate to Jesus.

Mr. Darcy: Well that is just fantastic. I am so excited for you! So you said you are moving in August, is that right? What will you do until then?

NKH: I will continue to live in Oklahoma. I would like to continue to work with RUF, helping the new campus minister as he moves here and gets to know the area. This can only happen, however, if I raise $4000 more for my support account. {We would like to mention, on behalf of Miss Haynes, that tax-deductible donations can be made here: www.ruf.org}

Mr. Darcy: I hope that you are able to continue your work with RUF in Oklahoma. There is an old adage about Oklahoma that is currently escaping me. Something about plains, wind, a broom maybe...I am not sure.

NKH: I hope that I can continue my work too. My time in Oklahoma has been wonderful. I have found family here. I will be sad to leave in August.

Mr. Darcy: What a pleasure it has been to sit and talk this morning, Miss Haynes. What an absolute pleasure.

NKH: The pleasure has been all mine, Mr.Darcy.

*This concludes our interview with Miss Haynes. Next month we will be interviewing a Miss H. Granger.*

Rebecca Black Themed RUF Activities

Rebecca Black's "It's Friday" has been voted the worst song ever. So, naturally, OURUF has caught the viral-video-virus and has done numerous parodies.

First of all, have you seen this video? At the time of this post, it has 84 million views on You Tube and has been a top selling song on iTunes. When you watch it you will wonder why that is...because people like us keep talking about it!

Go here to watch the original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0

Now, go here to watch OURUF Summer Conference Promotion Video {Rebecca Black style}: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjXM1V4naI0

I don't know about you, but I feel like our version was much better! Did it make you want to join us in Laguna Beach in May for Summer Conference?!?

Right about now I figure you have had enough Rebecca Black. BUT WE AREN'T DONE YET!

We had a Not-A-Date at the Norman Medieval Fair this weekend. We broke up into groups and did a scavenger hunt. The most points was given for asking strangers to sing, you guessed it, Rebecca Black's "It's Friday." Watch as this group asked two strangers to sing with them!

Well, that is what is going on in my neck of the woods! But I must go now because, "It's Tuesday, Tuesday..."

Boomer Sooner!
