the talent of knitting

Hi, friends-

Erik and I thought we'd share a recent clip for you to "view" from our lives here at Ravencrest.

Scene: Ravencrest Student + Staff Talent Show
Talent Show Theme: Night at the Oscars
Act: Erik and Sarah
Talent: Knitting

Script:

(Erik and Sarah prepare for knitting - stretching, twirling knitting needles, etc. Erik and Sarah fumble about with knitting needles and yarn, evidently possessing zero knitting talent whatsoever.)

Erik: Sarah, knitting is not our talent.
Sarah: No, it's not... But it's God's talent. And right before your very eyes, God is performing one of his most amazing talents.
Erik: (reading Psalm 139:13,14) "For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Student (yelling out across the auditorium): What does THAT mean?
Erik and Sarah (yelling back): What do YOU think it means?
Another Student: YOU'RE PREGNANT!!
(Student body whoops and hollers.)

Guess who won the Oscar??

Love from the Snyders Six-
Erik and Sarah
Catherine, Camille, Jack, and ??? (due mid August 2011)
