Hol(e)y Sacrament Cups

In my ward here at BYU, the sacrament is usually a very reverent time. There are no children, everyone is respectful, and it is a great time to reflect and repent. But every once in a while, something happens during the sacrament that makes it a little harder to focus. Today, as I was passed the water, I tried to pull the little paper cup out of the hole, but it was pushed down pretty tightly. So I tried a little harder, resulting in some water spilling out, but I got the cup out and then realized that there was a hole out of which water was streaming onto my skirt. I quickly drank and passed it on. I thought I could go back to my reverent contemplation, but I soon noticed that the same thing happened to all of my roommates. Ali's cup had a slash through it, not just a hole, so she got water all over. And then I saw the row in front of me was having the same problem. Now, when there are water fountains coming out of all of the sacrament cups, it makes it very hard to focus. This isn't the first time that this has happened either. But it's still just as funny and only serves as a reminder that Heavenly Father (or certain elders in my ward) have a great a sense of humor.

Gilligan's Island Trivia

Last semester I took a class called Music Civilization 201. I liked it so much (and I needed another civilization credit) so I decided to take Music Civ. 202. The professor apparently likes Gilligan's Island because each semester he shares a fun fact with us about this great TV show. First, did you know that you could sing the words of Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island? (Try it if you don't believe me.) And second, each character represents one of the seven deadly sins. 1. Lust = Ginger (for obvious reasons) 2. Envy = Mary Ann who is jealous of Ginger 3. Greed = Mr. Howell (again for obvious reasons) 4. Sloth = Mrs. Howell because throughout all of the seasons (and I've seen them all) she does absolutely nothing 5. Pride = Professor who thinks intelligence puts him above the rest of the stranded castaways 6. Gluttony/Wrath = Skipper who is so big and so angry he gets two. And last, but not least, Gilligan is the devil because he keeps them all in purgatory.
