Over 145 VIP guests made their way to Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge on Friday, Feb. 7, for an “unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love.” For the fourth year in a row, Fusion Church of Madison was among this year’s 721 churches from across all 50 states and 34 countries to host Night to Shine, which is put on by the Tim Tebow Foundation. The Madison Night to Shine event brought 470 volunteers together in unity to serve people with special needs. Guests took rides in multiple party buses, walked the red carpet, sang karaoke, feasted on food from Zaxby’s and danced the night away. Meanwhile, caregivers were treated for a relaxing evening of food, massages, comedy, door prizes and more. At the end of the night, the VIP guests were all crowned kings and queens of the prom.

Now, I suppose it would have been more emphatic had I adjectivized and written, “There are massively, abundantly, mammothly, immensely, capaciously, colossally, enormously, gigantically, copiously, titanically, humongously too many words in the English language. But why? If there are too many words in the English language, the first word too many is no more or less redundant than the tenth word too many. And, the statement doesn’t require more emphasis; isn’t “too many” adequately… abundant? So why don’t we quarantine those other words. They mean the same thing and take a long time to spell. Voila, with just two skinny words I have lightened the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) by 11 thick words. That’s a start.
