  1. My family played Mad Libs with this for our Friday game night, and it was awesome! (We had hot pink BB polos, 957-card passages, and contestants yodeling their verses. On the morning of Orals, I was so magnificent that I barely touched my food, and, according to my dad, proclaiming God’s Word is the ultimate UFO. XDD)
    Thanks so much for posting this, Sierra! It was soo fun!
    Would it be all right if my family used this as an icebreaker game for our Local group we plan to host next year?

    • I’m so glad that you guys enjoyed it!! That was my hope! 😀
      (And thanks for writing out some of the words that you guys filled in! I really enjoyed that. My sister would loveee hot pink BB polos! And I wonder if you could fit the whole book of Psalms on 957 verse cards…;) xD)
      Yes! You guys can definitely use this as an icebreaker at your host group next year!!
