2 things

Well I have two bits of news from the world of Erik the Super Awesome.

They are good and bad,

The Good: I just got a note from Wartburg Seminary saying that I received the Campus Ministry Leadership Award Scholarship. This is awesome!!! I might be able to afford it now (ok, I could have anyways, but this certainly helps keep loans down) So I am pretty excited about that.



The Bad: I just heard that my good friend Alice's Grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer just this last week, she did not find out about it until Thursday because her mother did not want her to ruin her birthday which was on wed.

So definitely keep Alice and her Grandmother in your prayer's.

Leo Kottke

As you know I took as my Lenten Discipline giving up TV, during this time I started to really listen to A Prairie Home Companion. I had listened to Leo Kottke before and really enjoyed him. When I found out that he was a frequent guest of the show, I started to look up the shows that he was on.

I found the song, Twice, on an episode from Jan 8th 2005. It is incredibly done and despite what it says on his first album cover, he actually has a very nice voice. His first album states that his voice sounds like geese farting.

umm yeah

Here is the link to the show, the segment with Twice is number 5.

If you listen to the whole show, the Croatian singers are very good and interesting as well.
