HIGHLIGHT OF NEXT WEEK?S ISSUE: INTERVIEW WITH BROTHER MARQUIS |
EX Rapper From the Secular Shock Group ?2 Live Crew?
Last week Brother Marquis and I hooked up for lunch and he told me about his changed life . . . all thanks to the Love and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hard to believe?? Hear the whole story . . . next week!
THE GREAT MATTRESS RUN. Looking for Something Fun and New? |
This is a fun game where teams have to carry a mattress a mile or two across town WITHOUT getting caught by STAFF HUNTERS.? Let me explain.
Arrange teams and drop each team off at separate designated points, each the exact same distance from the FINAL MEETING PLACE.? Each group has one mattress each. Their job is to be the first team to get from their designated point to the FINAL MEETING PLACE while the STAFF HUNTERS travel around in their vehicles ?hunting? them.
The teams are only safe from the STAFF HUNTERS when the entire team is jumping up and down on the mattress.? So the entire trek, they need to keep their eyes open for STAFF HUNTERS and immediately throw their mattress down and start jumping on it if they see them.? Teams are only vulnerable to STAFF HUNTERS within one hundred yards- and the STAFF HUNTER is the judge of distance.? If the STAFF HUNTERS catch the team within one hundred yards NOT jumping on their mattress, they can TRANQUELIZE the team by saying ?gotcha!? Then the entire group MUST lie down on their mattress for 2 minutes, or until the STAFF HUNTER releases them.
The first team to the FINAL MEETING PLACE wins.
Great icing on the cake:? provide every STAFF HUNTER with a person in their passenger seat with a video camera.? This footage makes a great video, edited and put to music the next week.
