Grandpa Bell to be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Grandpa is scheduled to be filming a segment for the Tonight Show on Friday in Little Rock. He is supposed to be teaching one of Jay's comedians how to pole vault. He didn't know when it would air, so keep your eyes open! It is sure to be a riot :D

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

I didn't see it on TV, but it looks like they've got a clip from the show up on the Tonight Show site at NBC.com
